The below stocks have been identified as having potential to register bigger than normal share price moves (up or down) today based on the news cited
BHP Billiton (BLT.L) - A union representing 2,500 striking workers at Escondida could prolong strikes. A new Chilean law that comes into effect April 1 would allow unions to adopt old contracts when they expire for an additional 18 months if talks stall. This could potentially elongate the strikes which could further disrupt copper supply from the world’s largest copper mine. Closing price 1414.00p (Bloomberg)
