FTSE 250 movers: Asia exposed funds fall on China worries

(Sharecast News) - The FTSE 250 was up 0.41% to 17,277.12 at 1540 BST. Miners struggled in line with their FTSE 100 heavyweight peers, with Hochschild and Ferrexpo both lower.

Funds exposed to China were also on the slide after heavy falls in Hong Kong and Beijing after Chinese President Xi Jinping paved the way for an unprecedented third term as leader and packed the Politburo standing committee with loyalists.

Investor sentiment was hit on fears that tech giants could be further constrained by continuing strict policies, with no way of challenging Xi's policies.

The news hit Fidelity China Special Situations Fund, which fell 10%.
