* Traders await BoE policy statement

Sept 19 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 was led lower on
Thursday by spirits-maker Diageo and clothing chain Next, while
traders awaited the Bank of England's policy decision after its
U.S. counterpart lowered interest rates but was guarded on
future cuts.
The blue-chip bourse .FTSE edged 0.2% lower by 0707 GMT -
its fourth straight day in the red, while the more
domestically-focused FTSE 250 index .FTMC dipped 0.1% ahead of
BoE's interest rate decision.
Next NXT.L skidded 5% after it flagged that the first few
weeks of the Autumn season were disappointing and Diageo DGE.L
slipped 1.4% after it said it was "not immune" to changes in
global trade policies as it laid out targets for the year. Midcap constituent IG Group IGG.L jumped 6% as it said
client numbers grew thanks to favourable market conditions in
August, while small cap Kier Group KIE.L lost 7% after the
contractor posted an annual loss.
