FTSE 250 movers: St James's Place, Greggs boosted by upgrade

St James’s Place was boosted by an upgrade to ‘buy’ at Deutsche Bank.

Greggs rose after an initiation at ‘outperform’ by RBC Capital Markets, which said investors should "buy the dip".

Moonpig rallied after a sharp fall earlier in the week when the company said it had swung to a pre-tax loss in the first half as it pointed to "challenging" trading in its Experiences segment.
