CMC Markets (LSE: CMCX) shares jumped 14.7% on Monday after it unveiled plans to cut around 200 jobs, some 17% of its workforce, to drive £21 million in annual cost savings.

The online trading platform said it expects to book a £2.5 million restructuring charge in the current financial year ending March 31st.

First-half results showed a swing to £2.0 million pretax loss from £36.6 million profit a year earlier as income fell 20%.
