0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Let's have a look at some of the stocks on

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 3>the move today here in Europe. I'm Caroline Hepkait with

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Lizzie Burden, and we're joined by our reporter Chloe Malay.

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Chloe. Let's start with steel and a takeover

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 3>on the cards for a metals business, Clerkner. How is

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 3>the market digesting this.

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, they seemed quite happy about it. So yeah, big

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>m and a news in that steel space this morning.

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 1>So Worthington Worthington Steel, which is a big steel producer

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>over in the US, is acquiring the German metals company

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Klockner in a deal that's valued at about two point

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>four billion dollars, and that really really drove the shares

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>this morning. Klockner shares jumped almost thirty percent at the

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>open on the back of that news. M Clockner had

0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>been trying to really boost profitability over the last year

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>by getting rid of some businesses that were lower margin

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that we're not performing as well, and it seems that

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>this kind of leaner, more efficient organization was seen as

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>a good investment from Worthington's perspective and from an investor perspective,

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>as I said, it looks like they're quite keen on

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the deal. With the chares moving much higher, it's an

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>interesting news there, you know, at the time when metals

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and still in all of that are very much in

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the news. Of course, we have the massive metals rally

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that we've been talking about or week news of this

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>major glen corey a Tinto potential merger. So it's definitely

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>very active from an investor's perspective, from a deal's perspective,

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and so we'll be we'll be keeping an eye on

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>developments with this deal there as well. Also some tasty

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>MUVEs for Close Brothers up five and a half percent

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>at the moment.

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Are upgrade for the specialist Lander.

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, it's impressive of a jump in the chares,

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>but still still quite a big rise there this morning

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>for Close Brothers. So RBC upgraded the company to by rating,

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's mostly because analyst said there was more to

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>trim on costs and that they are quite optimistic that

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the restructuring efforts at the company were progressing well. They

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>pointed to the fact that Close Brothers had hired a

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>transformation a director, which to suggests that they could go

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>harder and faster on the restructuring. That Close Brothers has

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>had a tough a couple of years, given it was

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>one of the most exposed names in the motor finance

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>probe here in the UK, which resulted in banks having

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to now compensate customers who were missold carlows, and the

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>uncertainty around that and how much they were going to

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>be liable for had really weighed on the shares for

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Close Brothers. But now some of the overhanger is mostly

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gone and lenders of aside their provisions for that purpose,

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>which means that now Close Brothers can essentially focus on

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>becoming more efficient, on performing better and on that restructuring.

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Really, okay, it's that on Close Brothers. Meanwhile, in Italy,

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 3>and there's been loads of m and A either successful

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 3>or discussed in Italy, and this time there is a

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 3>billionaire investment firm denying that it's in talks over the

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:13.839
<v Speaker 3>sale of UniCredit stake in Monte depasci Just what does

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 3>that mean for investing?

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a lot of layers. Yeah, I'm wrapping

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>my mind around it as well. So Delphin, which is

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>an investment firm the one you mentioned, denied that it's

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in talks with UniCredit over selling its steak in Montepesci,

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>And there had been loads of different media reports in

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the last few weeks about UniCredit and Delphin holding those

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>talks about that holding in Pasqui, which has just become

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the third biggest bank in Italy after buying Medio Banker.

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>So you know, Montepesci, the CEO and then the Delphin

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>chairman have also come under scrutiny because prosecutors are opening

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a probe into allegations that they concealed actions to take

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>control of Medio Banker. And then in addition to that,

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>we have the added complication of the fact that the

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>acquisition of mad Banker turned Montepasci into the largest shareholder

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest insur in Italy, which is generally and

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>now shareholders in generally are disagreeing on how much a

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Medio Banker should be integrated into Pasci because of what

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>that actually means fort generally. So there are a lot

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>of different layers there, and a lot of back and forth,

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.919
<v Speaker 1>and also the denying of those talks as well, But

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>all of that means right now that Montepascui is done.
