RUA Life Sciences shares move up, AIM trading stays thin ahead of RSH spinout
RUA Life Sciences Plc climbed Tuesday, but much of the focus was on trading costs. Google Finance’s last price at 16:30 BST was 20.65p, up 5.91%. Hargreaves Lansdown showed the spread at the close with a 20p sell and 22p buy. London trading finished before the price marks; regular LSE hours on July 7 ran from 08:00 to 16:30 BST. The spread at that quote was 2p, or 9.5% of the 21p midpoint. That tops the last-price gain listed on Google Finance. For a microcap AIM name, that gap is important—the quoted move and the price you can actually trade can end up being two different things.
