FTSE 250 movers: Bank of Georgia gains; Centamin retreats
London’s FTSE 250 was up 1.4% at 18,747.05 in afternoon trade on Tuesday.
Bank of Georgia and Man Group were the top risers as sentiment towards the financial sector recovered.
Oanda market analyst Craig Erlam said "markets are clearly comforted by the measures that have been put in place to prevent a full-blown banking crisis".
"If this can be followed by a few days of calm with no other banks emerging as being at risk of collapse without major intervention, stock markets could continue to recover."
Gold miner Centamin was the worst performer on the index as gold prices fell back.
