SMALL-CAP - LOSERS
----------
Capricorn Energy PLC, down 1.0% at 119.00p, 12-month range 118.92p-813.06p. The Egypt-focused upstream energy company falls, tracking Brent prices lower. Brent oil was quoted at USD81.58 a barrel on Monday morning in London, down from USD82.03 late Friday. "Brent crude has retreated a little, as hopes have resurfaced of a pause of attacks in the Middle East, after the Israeli military confirmed strikes had taken place in Southern Gaza but said they have now concluded. This has helped push down oil prices slightly, as concerns about supply constraints in the region eased a little," Hargreaves Lansdown analyst Susannah Streeter commented.
