0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 2>in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a.

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Look at some stocks on the move today in your

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm Tom ckenzie with Caroline Hecker and we are joined

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>now by Bloomberg Report to Choe Mala Chloe. Let's start

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>with Greg's, then an activist investor urging the British food

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>chain to cut costs.

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 3>They said that if Greg's doesn't set a minimum of

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 3>twenty million pounds of annual costs that it would make

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 3>it a prime takeover target. So Greg's share price is

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 3>down more than forty percent this year. It's also London's

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 3>most shortened stock, so this additional pressure on that company

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 3>is not surprising. Greg's did say last month that it

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 3>was making progress despite the really challenging market conditions that

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 3>it's finding itself in, but it seems that investors are

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 3>not quite convinced that it is making as much progress

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 3>and that is doing as much as it could do

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>to kind of turn things around. The company is struggling

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>with rising prices for its raw ingredients and also minimum

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 3>wage increases, and the company had also blamed hot weather

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 3>earlier this year for slower cells. Perhaps it's true that

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>people weren't fewer sausage roles during a heat wave, but

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 3>obviously can't do anything about the weather. But now pressure

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 3>is mounting to get other issues that it can control

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 3>under control.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so that on Gregg's here in the UK. Bigger

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 4>picture though, in Europe wants to think about defense and

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 4>the German Titan. Ryan Mettal, how is the stock reacting

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 4>because this week, as one of the key European leaders

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 4>has been saying EU leaders that is that this could

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 4>be a pivotal week for diplomacy when it comes to Ukraine.

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely so, Ryan Mattel is down this morning. Other

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 3>defense stocks like hand sold and teal Esba across the board.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Really we are down this morning because US and Ukraine

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>negotiators said that they had quite productive discussions on that

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 3>piece deal between US and sorry, between the UN recurrent

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 3>in Russia. There's been no breakthrough yet, but there seems

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 3>to be some progress which is sending those shares down

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>across that industry. And now the US Special Envoice Steve

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 3>whitcov is heading to Russia today to continue talks there

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>with Russia, and a lot rests on those talks and

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 3>what is actually going to transpire from those. Over the

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 3>last week or so, we have seen defense stocks either

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 3>rally or fall depending on the details emerging from those

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 3>talks and kind of general sentiment about whether or not

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 3>a deal is likely. And right now it seems that

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 3>the narrative is that it's still very delicate, it's still uncertain,

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 3>but there is progress happening, and therefore we seeing that

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 3>weakness across those weapons makers.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>And you have an update as well for US on

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.799
<v Speaker 1>the mining giant fres Nilos Copper hits new records.

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so copper reached a record high, and that is

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>because of fears around a potential supply crunch. So a

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>lot of that has to do with a lot of

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 3>mind disruptions that happened this year and that obviously hurt production.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 3>That there's less supply and therefore demand is higher. And

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 3>then there's also silver that rose to record high, and

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 3>that is because of expectations of a rate cut in

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 3>the US and lower borering costs usually benefit those precious metals.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 3>And then also very tight supply for silver. The main

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 3>reason behind that is that that shortage is that there

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 3>was a record amount of silver that flowed into London

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 3>in October to ease a historic squeeze. Then that is,

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 3>London is the world's biggest silver trading hub, and that

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 3>as in turn put other centers under pressure and therefore

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>inventories were down and therefore prices we're going up, and

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 3>so minus overall are doing quite well because of copper

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>and silver hitting those record highs, and a Fresne in

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 3>particular is doing particularly well because it's a gold and

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 3>silver miners particularly exposed to those movements in silver, and

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>therefore it was up quite strongly this morning.
