00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data,

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: and that.

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 3: It's time to check in on some of the stocks

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 3: on the move today in Europe. I'm Stephen Carroll and

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 3: I'm joined by Bloomberg's Coe Melle for more on this. Koe,

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: Good morning morning. So all eyes on oil price as

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: we're looking at that situation in Venezuela. How are we

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 3: seeing the response in oil companies.

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's it's a little bit weak. So BP, Shell,

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: toteal Any, all of them were down this morning on

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: this latest development. So Trump said that Venezuela would send

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: fifty million barrels of oil to the US, which is

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: worth about two point eight billion dollars, and the announcement

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: sent oil prices falling, and of course when oil price

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: is a week, shares in oil companies do tend to follow.

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: It's worth saying that the amount of oil that we're

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: talking about here is fairly insignificant economically and it will

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: not necessarily meaningfully change the supply in the market. But politically,

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: of course, it is a big move and it has

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: consequences even beyond Venezuela as well. In particulars it is

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: a big blow to China, which is a top buyer

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: of Venezuela and oil and also really close partner to

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: that country, and it seems that Trump is really trying

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: to kind of tighten that grip on Venezuela, and the

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: administration reportedly demanded that the country reduced its economic ties

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: to China, Russia, Iran in Cuba. And so this is

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: of course a situation that's still in flags theale a

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: few details at the moment on the actual process of

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: sending those barrels to the US. So this is definitely

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on and to keep an

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: eye on what it means as well for those oil companies.

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly when we're monitoring throughout the day as well,

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: particularly as we look at pre market in the US too,

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: with a big jump yesterday and Chevron shares turning to

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: Sweden next, the industrial company Atlas Copco gaining today. Why.

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, adlas Copco is a company that makes things

39
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: like vacuum solutions and compressors. So on the face of it,

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound super interesting, but it is a major

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Swedish industrial company, and if it is doing well, it

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: tells us a lot about the recovery in the industrial

43
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: sector and where momentum is actually kind of picking up.

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: And so Atlas COPCOA was just upgraded at Bernstein with

45
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: analysts as saying that earnings at bottomed and that a

46
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: rebound was on the way. And this is something that

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: other analysts have flagged as well, previously saying that orders

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: will likely start kind of flowing through again because of

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: manufacturing and construction activity starting to recover. Companies are once

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: again starting to invest in equipment because there is now

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: greater clarity on tariffs, there's more solid demand. You know,

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: just yesterday we had chip makers moving higher because of

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: an expected recovery in industrial and markets. So this is

54
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: all really part of the same story of companies kind

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: of growing more confident, wanting to spend their money, and

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: sometimes part of that is that they do need a

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: big industrial compressor, and Atlas Copco will be there to

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: provide that.

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: Poor Atlas Copco saying they're not very interesting lots of life,

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: They're interested in these compression machines as well.

61
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: I am interested.

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: We all learned something. I'm just saying, let's go to

63
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: the Netherlands next to the parcel locker operator in Post

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: dealing with the delivery of bad news. Shares down six

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: and a half percent.

66
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yesterday we saw massive gains for that company because

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: it announced a big takeover proposal, and sky News then

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,279
Speaker 1: reported that the bidder was the private equity firm at International,

69
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: which already owns about six point five percent of Imposts

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: but has been selling a lot of that stick in

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: recent years. And this followed a period for Imposts of

72
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: being one of the most shorted stocks in Europe. But

73
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: now today we are, after this massive rally that we

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: saw yesterday, we are seeing a big drop in the

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: shares and analysts are saying that this was triggered by

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: profit taking after the rally yesterday, and that profit taking

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: might also be because it's still really unclear, really uncertain

78
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: whether a takeover bid would actually materialize, and so investors

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: are maybe not quite keen to stick around until they

80
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: figured it out. But there'll be more to follow there

81
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: probably more announcements coming from in Posts at some point

82
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,600
