HSBC shares jump after Reuters infrastructure exclusive

HSBC shares recorded their biggest increase in nearly a month on Feb 24, making HSBC the FTSE blue chip top index gainer for most of the day, following a Reuters report that the bank had launched the 2 billion pound sale of its train leasing unit. The Financial Times and The Guardian both cited the story in explaining the reason for the share rallying. Bloomberg could not match the Reuters story and was forced to pick it up, referencing Reuters throughout. The next day major British newspapers, such as The Times and The Independent, reported on the story.
