* FTSE 100 down 0.7%, FTSE 250 down 0.5%
* Kingfisher slips after Q3 report
* Mitchells & Butlers outshines mid-caps
Nov 20 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 slipped into the red on
Wednesday as shares in retailer Kingfisher slumped 8% after its
quarterly sales disappointed, and as lack of clarity on the
Sino-U.S. trade front remained.
After three straight days of gains, the main index .FTSE
fell 0.7%, as trade uncertainty weighed on Asia-exposed
financial stocks like HSBC HSBA.L . The FTSE 250 .FTMC gave
up 0.5%, with losses in all but one sectors.
Outperforming the mid-cap index was pub operator Mitchells &
Butlers MAB.L , which jumped 8% after reporting higher annual
adjusted operating profit.
