FTSE 250 movers: Travel stocks pace losses

Travel stocks paced losses on the second-tier index at the end of the week as investors continued to speculate on the potential for further rate hikes from the Bank of England.

Weaker-than-expected readings on S&P Global's UK factory and services purchasing managers' surveys for June failed to douse market expectations for additional monetary policy tightening.

Commenting on the latest PMI readings, Gabriella Dickens, said as much.

"S&P’s survey continues to give an ambiguous steer on whether the MPC already has done enough to cool the economy and curb CPI inflation," she told clients.

In the background, the yield on the benchmark 2-year Gilt snapped 11 basis points higher to 5.183%.
