* FTSE 100, FTSE 250 about flat
* Reckitt slides after 2nd forecast cut this year
Oct 22 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 was little changed on
Tuesday as a forecast cut spurred a more than 5% drop in Durex
condom maker Reckitt Benckiser , offsetting gains made by oil
majors and miners.
Reckitt RB.L fell to its lowest in more than
one-and-a-half years after the company cut its sales view for
the second time this year, leaving the blue-chip index nearly
flat by 0707 GMT. The FTSE 250 .FTMC was also largely unchanged in early
trade, as investors looked to Westminster with reserved optimism
for further clarity on the Brexit process.
