FTSE 250 movers: Hochschild shines; Telecom Plus slides

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,058.68 0.35%

Miners were in favour as metals prices rose, with Hochschild Mining in the black.

Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at AJ Bell, said: "Just days after iron ore prices hit their lowest level in two years, the metal staged a small recovery amid hopes that stimulus measures in China could help to avoid a major slump in demand for the metal.

"Iron ore is a key component in steelmaking and is used in property construction. China has suffered from a big slump in its real estate sector, with countless properties either sitting empty or half-built.

OSB Group rallied after a slump last week as it cut its net interest guidance for the full financial year.

Telecom Plus - which offers bundled utility services - was down as sentiment around Sky's wholesale deal with CityFibre, hit BT shares on Tuesday.
