Movers & Shakers - 23 August 2016

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

Persimmon (PSN.L) – Posted a 29% increase in H1 pretax profit to £352.3m. Robust visitor numbers to sites up 20%, seeing an increase in the number of people paying a fee to take a property off the market and its reservation rate up 17% since the start of July, shrugging off the impact of the Brexit vote. Closing price 1794.00p (Reuters)

Bp. (BP.L), Royal Dutch Shell (RDSb.L), Tullow Oil (TLW.L), Premier Oil (PMO.L) - Oil prices fell over 1% on Tuesday, with Goldman Sachs warning that August's price rally had been overdone and that a proposed oil production freeze at current near-record levels would not help rein in an oversupplied market. Closing prices 427.90p, 1974.00p, 230.10p, 73.50p (Reuters)

Antofagasta (ANTO.L), Glencore (GLEN.L), Anglo American (AAL.L), BHP Billiton (BLT.L), Rio Tinto (RIO.L) -  London copper edged higher on Tuesday on support from a softer U.S. dollar, but the metal was still hanging near six-week lows as swelling supply kept a tight lid on its price prospects. Closing prices 545.00p, 184.35p, 835.00p, 1033.00p, 2386.50p (Reuters)

Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) - Lawyers sat down with representatives of angry shareholders to broker an end to what may end up being the costliest case in British legal history. The meeting was convened to persuade investors to drop claims they were misled into stumping up £12bn just a few months before the 2008 bailout. Closing Price 188.20p (Reuters)

Kier Group (KIE.L) – Has won three contracts worth over £5bn to carry out construction in the UK since July, easing fears that work had stalled across the sector after Britain's vote to leave the European Union. Closing price 1189.00p (Bloomberg)
