FTSE 100 up 0.4%, FTSE 250 Flat
Oct 2 (Reuters) - The UK's benchmark FTSE 100 stock index opened higher on Wednesday, led by energy and industrial metal mining shares, 유로247가입 while JD Sports fell after the Nike retailer kept annual outlook unchanged despite a first-half profit beat.

JD Sports Fashion tumbled 5.5% to the bottom of FTSE 100, as the sports retailer did not update its annual guidance despite beating market outlook for first-half profit, citing a 20 million pound ($26.6 mln) foreign exchange headwind in the second half of the year.
