FTSE 250 movers: Carnival sets sail; Virgin still out of favour
FTSE 250: 19,436.33 +0.99%.
Cruise line operator Carnival topped the FTSE 250 risers list on the back of British Airways and Iberia owner IAG lifting full-year earnings forecasts, driven by strong summer demand and a forecast-beating first-quarter profit performance. Budget airline Wizz Air also rode along in the slipstream.
Virgin Money was still out of favour after disappointing results on Thursday.
