Disappointing first-half profits from Marks & Spencer condemned the London share market to an opening fall, amid a lack of positive signals from elsewhere.
At 0951 GMT, the leading FTSE 100 index was 19 points lower at 5,506.
Analysts said the retailer issued a veiled profits warning and its shares have slumped over 10%.
Positive influences from elsewhere were sparse.
The Dow added 1.3% but didn't improve on its level when London closed yesterday.
Tokyo's market was shut overnight for a public holiday.
