The ISEQ index of Irish shares was little changed yesterday, while fluctuation in US stocks was at near-record levels as investors assessed the latest political developments in Washington.

In Dublin, Providence Resources was the biggest gainer, advancing 21pc to almost 8c each. The stock is still floating just above record lows after a pair of dry wells were hit during a summer drilling campaign.
