Mining stocks were the biggest fallers, but the big driver was the oil price.

Oil continued to dive on Monday, following a big sell-off on Friday. The FTSE 100 held up relatively well until the US opened. US stocks turning lower spooked the market, leading to a steep late afternoon dive.

Let's hope Tuesday is better.
