FTSE 250 movers: Tech shares soar on interest rate hopes

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250: 19,701.37, up 1.67% at 1550 GMT. Technology shares were in focus after the smaller-than-expected rise in US inflation sparked hopes that interest rates could be smaller going forward.

Trustpilot investor Molten Ventures surged 12% and Auction Technology Group jumped 13%.

The sentiment spilled over into the consumer sector with ASOS and Currys both soaring.

Beazley shares fell as the insurer said claims from Hurricane Ian had hit $120m in the first nine months of the year and its fixed interest business had made a loss.
