FTSE 250 movers: China stimulus comments provide lift; Baltic slides

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,083.52 0.12% Fidelity China Special Situations got a boost after China's leaders pledged to implement "more proactive" fiscal policy next year to boost consumption.

The announcements, outlined in a key Politburo meeting led by president Xi Jinping, set the stage for broader economic priorities to be determined at the upcoming Central Economic Work Conference scheduled for 11-12 December.

According to CNBC, the Politburo emphasised strengthening "unconventional counter-cyclical" adjustments while stabilising the property and stock markets.

Burberry was also a beneficiary of the news.

Domino's Pizza fell as it said new measures announced in October's Budget would cost it around £3m a year and announced a new "profitability and growth framework" with its franchise partners, that will see it invest an additional £3-4m per annum from next year.

Baltic Classifieds fell after a downgrade to 'hold' at Deutsche Bank.
