FTSE 100 Movers: Miners leading the way lower

Tue, 18th Oct 2011 12:43

Unsurprisingly, it was miners that bore the brunt of the selling amid concerns over global growth in the wake of disappointing Chinese gross domestic product data. Among the fallers was diversified giant Xstrata, which gave a taste of the uncertain global picture with a third quarter update that showed production of some commodities roaring on amid continued high prices, but others slowing down as prices ease. Xstrata has continued to ramp up production of coal and other commodities in the third quarter as prices stayed strong, though lower alloy prices prompted the company to extend furnace maintenance programmes, resulting in lower production.Rising higher was television broadcaster ITV, which has revealed its intention to acquire Jersey-based Channel Television from its current owners Yattendon Group for an, as of yet, undisclosed sum.In a short statement released this morning, ITV said, "ITV plc announces that it has entered into an agreement with Yattendon plc to acquire Channel Television subject to the approval of the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority."Also on the up was BP after UBS reiterated its buy rating on the oil titan following its $4bn settlement with Anadarko, which the broker sees as an "important step towards resolution". Hotel and coffee shop operator Whitbread's relatively low priced product offerings helped it post a rise in profits in the six months to 1 September despite the tough economic climate.
