FTSE 250 movers: Financials out of favour after SVB sell-off

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250: 19,332.48, -1.83% at 1500 GMT. Investment firms were well and truly in the firing line after a Wall Street sell-off overnight, sparked by tech-focused bank SVB Financial, which plummeted 60% after it announced plans to raise more than $2bn in capital to help offset losses on bond sales.

On the FTSE 250, shares in Molten Ventures and Bridgepoint slumped 14.66% and 7.54%.

Oil and gas stocks were in favour, driven by the recent cold snap in the UK, with Drax, Tullow Oil and Harbour Energy all higher.
