FTSE 250 movers: Centamin leaps on broker comment

25th Jun 2012 14:15

Gold miners Centamin and Petropavlovsk were benefiting from bullish remarks from Nomura about the gold sector. "Gold remains fundamentally supported by long-term trends", including increasing gold holdings within central bank reserves and strong Chinese demand. Essar Energy, the India-focused integrated energy company, was in the red despite saying that the first of two 255MW units at its Vadinar Phase 2 power plant has been synchronised with the transmission grid. Industrial property specialist Segro fell after selling four "non-core" industrial estates for £204.5m.
