No indication of a rate cut and the looming possibility of higher taxes meant there was little enthusiasm for buying during the afternoon. On the positive side, Wellcomj were sought after and Lloyds Chemist, Merivale Moore and Namont Holdings enjoyed support after results. A profits warning from Tiphook also unsettled investors and the shares closed 70p down at 169p. Exchanges 250 SHARJCHECK 220 Wall Street Shares FUSE/FT30 O tions
