(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,264.53 -1.71% Gold miners Hochschild and Endeavour shone as gold prices hit a new record high.

Watches of Switzerland surged after saying it does not expect any material impact from US tariffs in the first half of fiscal 2026 as brand partners increased inventories.

Food manufacturer Hilton Food tumbled after releasing first-half results analysts described as "mixed". Hilton said it delivered a "robust" performance and further strategic progress in the six months ended 29 June, despite "challenging" market conditions.

The company posted a 7.6% increase in interim revenue to £2.09bn, while pre-tax profits ticked up 0.3% to £33.6m.
