Tate & Lyle shares rose today (6 January) as the company played down reports that it has failed to push through adequate price rises in its latest round of supply negotiations.
According to reports, the UK food ingredients maker has fixed 2009 supply contracts 1-2 cents above last year’s levels, but failed to achieve the 3.5-cent increase targeted by the company.
However, a spokesperson for Tate & Lyle dismissed these concerns as “pure speculation”.
Shares in Tate & Lyle had risen 5.7% to GBP4.08 by 13:32 pm (GMT).
