Elsewhere in retail, supermarket Tesco is lower ahead of rival J Sainsbury's third quarter trading update tomorrow and Argos and Homebase owner Home Retail Group is also in the bottom 10.But miners are going well, with Xstrata, Kazakhmys, Rio Tinto, Vedanta and Randgold Resources among the top risers.FTSE 100 - RisersAutonomy Corporation (AU.) 1,545.00p +5.10%Wolseley (WOS) 1,356.00p +4.31%Xstrata (XTA) 1,230.00p +3.54%Kazakhmys (KAZ) 1,444.00p +3.36%Rio Tinto (RIO) 3,655.50p +3.19%RSA Insurance Group (RSA) 126.00p +2.86%Vedanta Resources (VED) 2,828.00p +2.69%Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) 36.35p +2.68%Rolls-Royce Group (RR.) 504.50p +2.54%Randgold Resources (RRS) 5,300.00p +2.42%FTSE 100 - FallersMarks & Spencer Group (MKS) 380.50p -6.03%SEGRO (SGRO) 342.10p -2.78%British Land Co (BLND) 458.50p -2.45%Petrofac Ltd (PFC) 1,008.00p -2.23%Tesco (TSCO) 411.45p -2.14%Admiral Group (ADM) 1,159.00p -2.03%Schroders (SDR) 1,314.00p -1.94%Home Retail Group (HOME) 284.30p -1.93%Schroders NV (SDRC) 1,059.00p -1.76%National Grid (NG.) 670.50p -1.69%
