FTSE 250 movers: Energy shares rally but Superdry gives back some gains
London’s FTSE 250 was up 2% at 17,436.66 in afternoon trade on Friday, tracking broader gains on the back of a late Wall St rally the day before.
Premier Oil, Cairn Energy and Tullow Oil were all sharply higher as oil prices rose, with West Texas Intermediate up 1.6% at $45.35 a barrel and Brent crude 0.6% higher at $52.45, bouncing back from losses the day before ahead of crude oil stocks change data from the Energy Information Administration at 1600 GMT.
On the downside, Superdry retreated following strong gains in the previous session, following reports earlier in the week that co-founder Julian Dunkerton was looking to regain control of the clothing retailer.
