Miners, energy firms drag FTSE 100 lower; Dr Martens hits record low

(Reuters) - UK's commodity-heavy FTSE 100 fell on Thursday, with energy firms and material stocks hauling the benchmark index lower, while bootmaker Dr Martens slumped to a record low after it gave a profit warning.

The FTSE 100 slid 0.5%, while the domestically-oriented FTSE 250 shed 0.5%.

Dr Martens sank 21.4% after it warned of a lower annual profit and revenue due to operational issues at its new U.S. distribution centre.

The stock's slump dragged the personal goods sector down 3.1%.

Adding to the sombre mood, data showed UK house prices fell more than expected in December and hit their lowest since October 2010 as inflation and rising interest rates squeezed home-buyers.
