The AIM Index managed to post some modest gains on Tuesday, advancing a further four points to close at 753.53. Over the last week, the all share has added a respectable 2% as recession and rate hike fears from the US both cool.
- Cleantech Lithium +23%
- Cadence Minerals +22%
- Arbuthnot Banking +18%
- Bonhill Group -54%
- Pelatro -49%
Cleantech Lithium LON:CTL topped the board on Tuesday, adding 23%. Yesterday the company provided an upgraded JORC resource estimate, but the news failed to deliver any tailwind for the share price. Investors appear to have caught up today with a meaningful uptick in volumes and the stock returning briefly to levels not seen in almost three months.

Cadence Minerals LON:KDNC was in second place, around 22% higher by the bell. The stock saw some significantly elevated volumes on the day although there’s no news out to directly support the news. However with a strong portfolio of assets there are some suggestions that this could be undervalued.
Arbuthnot Banking LON:ARBB gets the notable mention, up 18% following the release of interim results. The bank has received a significant boost off higher interest rates although cautions that funding costs will increase in the second half of the year as longer term deposit instruments expire.
Bonhill Group LON:BONH was on the radar again, this time as the day’s biggest faller off 54% by the bell. There’s no fresh news out but as noted yesterday the directors are pursuing a members’ voluntary liquidation. Trade was thin with buyers proving elusive.
Pelatro LON:PTRO dipped 49% following a trading update. The company flagged unusual delays in collection of receivables owing to some cross-border issues, Whilst these should have perhaps been guarded against ahead of time, the most worrying point is likely the fact management have flagged that additional funding may be required in the final quarter of the year.
