9.57am: Ferrexpo climbs after better than expected production numbers
Ukraine-based iron ore outfit Ferrexpo PLC (LSE:FXPO) was the top riser among FTSE 350 shares on Friday morning, up 12% to 188p, as it reported stronger production numbers than investors clearly expected.
Despite Russia's war on the country, the FTSE 250-listed company reported iron ore pellet production down only 2% year-on-year in the first quarter, to 2.7mln tonnes.
"Our operations and local communities are outside the main conflict zones," explained chief executive Jim North, this enabled the group to continue activities, including delivering iron ore pellets to customers around Europe via rail and barge.
"The situation in Ukraine remains complex," the company said, with the local government requesting economic activities to continue, but staff safety a prime concern.
With rail and barge being only 50% of its sales delivery method and its main shipping berth in the port of Pivdennyi in southwest Ukraine, which remains closed, management said they are examining alternative methods of transporting the metal.
