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

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
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 3: Let's take a look now at some of the stocks

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: on the move today in Europe. I'm Rachel Evans with

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 3: Caroline Hepka. We're joined with Bloomberg reporter Chloe Malay. Chloe,

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: thanks for coming. We had a rare primetime speech with

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: President Trump yesterday relating to the Iran war. How are

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 3: energy stocks reacting to that this morning? Likes of BP,

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: for example.

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Yesterday there was some signaling from Trump that the war

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: might be coming to an end, and so that led

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: oil down and then oil majors down as well. But

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: then yesterday evening, in that primetime speech that you mentioned,

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: Trump at a very different tone, saying that the US

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: would hit Iran extremely hard over the next two to

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: three weeks. He did not present any sort of concrete

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: plan for exiting the war or also reopening at the

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: strait off of Hole Moves, which remains largely closed. So

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: the markets interpreted this as the fact that the resolution

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: to this conflict and might not come as easily or

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: as swiftly as we thought yesterday, and so we saw

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: oil jumping once again and then leading those oil majors

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: higher once again this morning. So we might see more

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: of this back and forth with oil jumping and retreating

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: as the market is try and really figure out how

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: and when exactly this war might end. But in the meantime,

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: BP is definitely in the green this morning.

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: Let's think about what it means for the airline business.

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: We had some news out of LIFTANSA today.

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there was a big rally yesterday among those

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: European airlines because oil was falling, so it was all

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: part of this same story. Really. There was a sense

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: of relief from airlines that had dealt with those flight disruptions,

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: those higher fuel costs, and so they reacted quite positively

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: to the news that the war might come to an end.

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: But then today, as mentioned, we have oil jumping again

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: and therefore airlines down and so full liftans andticular. There's

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: also another thing that is really weighing on the stock

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: this morning, which is a downgrade from Morgan Stanley, with

42
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: analyst saying that there is a risk that fuel costs

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: could stay higher for longer and that Luftans is particularly

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: vulnerable to that. They said that even with a de

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: escalation in the coming weeks, there would still be some

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: refining capacity constraints, some constraints around logistics, around inventories, and

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: that means that a shortage of jet fuel is harder

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: and slower to resolve, and therefore would mean fuel costs

49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: of staying higher. And then a separate note from Blueberg

50
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Intelligence this morning also mentioned the same thing. They said

51
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: that companies like Luftanza but also appears like AAG and

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Air France and Ryanair do have fuel hedges and that

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: stabilizes prices to an extent, but then that doesn't secure

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: product delivery, and so that makes those airlines very vulnerable

55
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: to supply shocks and that could in turn curtail flying

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: as well. Sotander is definitely taking bit of a hit

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: this morning as a result.

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: Interesting it starts hitting people's holidays. Finally, we had some

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: news for Air France. How's the market reaction to that.

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a different airline story this morning from

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: fuel costs. So, Air France submitted the first bid for

62
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: a stake in the Portuguese airline TAP, so that essentially

63
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: kicks off the race for that company after Air France,

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: but then also Liftans and IAG were all invited last

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: year to submit preliminary offers for that Portuguese airline. The

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Portuguese government is planning to sell as much as a

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: forty nine point nine percent of the company, and it's

68
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: said that it needs to be part of a larger

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: groups that it can gain scale and really secure a

70
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: long term future. So now the government will start reviewing

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: some initial proposals and then the shortlisted bidders will have

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: ninety days after that to submit binding offers. So we

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: are going to be waiting for Liftans and IAG to

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: potentially also submit some of those non binding offers to

75
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: start with. But Air France shares were a little bit

76
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: weaker this morning, although they might have more to do

77
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: with the oil story that we were mentioning rather than

78
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: this potential m and A.
