Across the Markets: Ashmore Group, Sigmaroc, KEFI Gold & Copper

Ashmore Group endured a sharp fall after reporting final results, with the asset manager giving the market little fresh impetus following a challenging backdrop for emerging market fund flows. The update leaves attention focused on restoring growth and rebuilding momentum across the business.

Sigmaroc rose strongly after pairing interim results with the acquisition of Swedish lime and dolomite producer AB Dolomitas. The deal extends the group's geographic reach and adds further scale to its construction materials platform, reinforcing its expansion strategy across Europe.

KEFI Gold & Copper advanced after providing an update on the Tulu Kapi gold project. Continued progress at the development is significant given its importance to the company's future production profile, keeping the project at the centre of KEFI's growth strategy.
