FTSE 250 movers: Yule Catto dives on trading update

Date: Wednesday 27 Jun 2012

Specialist chemicals maker Yule Catto tanked after saying that the challenging trading conditions outlined in its May update have continued through the rest of the first half. Demand at its Europe and North America business segment, remains subdued, as it battles against deteriorating business confidence as economic uncertainty continues.

Online gaming company bwin.party also fell after saying a potential buyer for its Ongame poker network has pulled out of discussions.

Ultra Electronics, the technology company with interests in defence, transport and energy, has agreed to acquire Barron McCann Technology and Barron McCann Payments, two specialist cyber security companies.
