AIM - LOSERS
----------
88 Energy, down 23% at 0.46p, 12-month range 0.2p-1.43p. The oil producer said that, in relation to its operations in Alaska, it is seeking clarification on a recently announced 60-day suspension of authority to issue new drilling permits on federal land by the US Department of the Interior. 88 Energy said it is in close communication with the Bureau of Land Management, which has indicated it will continue to process the company's permit to drill in anticipation of receiving a signature on or before February 12. "There is cause for optimism due to the advanced nature of the existing operations (which is one of the carve outs for the suspension)," noted 88.

The Takijistan-focused gold miner said it has signed a new agreement with China CITIC Bank Corp for a loan facility of up to CNY300 million, around USD46.4 million.

Zytronic, down 10% at 134.50p, 12-month range 70p-243.95p. The manufacturer and developer of touch technology products said it was difficult to foresee a return to profitability in its current financial year to the end of September, due to constraints caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Zytronic's reorganisation and cost-reduction measures have allowed it to keep positive earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, as well as a rise in orders for the year to date; however, with the pandemic constraints affecting the group's major overseas markets such as Gaming, a recovery to historic levels will depend on how quickly there is an effective vaccination programme.
----------
Jet2, down 8.6% at 1,359.39p, 12-month range 182.5p-1,950p. The leisure travel firm was lower in a negative read-across after airline International Consolidated Airlines was cut to Reduce from Hold by Kepler Cheuvreux. FTSE 100-listed IAG was London's worst blue-chip performer on Friday, down 4.4%.
