FTSE 250 movers: Aberdeen Asset results well received

Date: Tuesday 04 May 2010

Aberdeen Asset Management leads the risers. Underlying profits almost trebled at the fund manager in the first six months of the year as a recovery in equity markets and lower costs helped margins soar.

Aquarius Platinum is down in line with lower prices for the precious metal. Finnish nickel and zinc miner Talvivaara falls in line with metals too.

Elsewhere in resources, oil group Salamander Energy slips as crude falls below $86 a barrel.
