India, June 23 -- The UK stock market's benchmark index FTSE 100 drifted down on Tuesday, pushed lower by losses in technology and mining stocks. Fears of possible rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and a few other central banks, some uncertainty about a lasting truce between Iran and the U.S., and weak regional PMI data weighed as well on sentiment.

The FTSE 100 was down 55.07 points or 0.53% at 10,382.78 nearly half an hour past noon.
