LIVE MARKETS-On the radar: Top news from Switzerland

Fri, 15th May 2020 07:50

Welcome to the home for real-time coverage of European equity markets brought to you by Reuters
stocks reporters. You can share your thoughts Joice Alves (joice.alves@thomsonreuters.com) and
Julien Ponthus (julien.ponthus@thomsonreuters.com) in London and Stefano Rebaudo
(stefano.rebaudo@thomsonreuters.com) in Milan.

ON THE RADAR: TOP NEWS FROM SWITZERLAND! (0648 GMT)

European are set to open about 1% in the black this morning with two big news headlines
coming from Switzerland.

Good news first: Swiss drugmaker Roche will start selling a new digital diagnostics
product that it says may simplify and accelerate screening of patients with breathing problems
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the grim side, Switzerland's luxury group Richemont expects "headwinds in the months
ahead" due to the new coronavirus as it reported annual profit falling by two thirds.

In terms of market price action, there's already some moves in Frankfurt with GEA and Varta
strongly up in premarket trade after their results.

On the M&A front, BT shares should get a lot of attention after the FT reported it is
in talks to sell a multi-billion pound stake in broadband network operator Openreach.

Probably some relief that Finland's top utility Fortum beat expectations and said it would
stick to its dividend policy.

French manufacturing and minerals group Imerys, whose North America talc unit filed for
bankruptcy after being drawn into cancer lawsuits, said it had reached an agreement to resolve
those talc-related liabilities.

Interesting trading update by William Hill which shows how COVID-19 is hitting the betting
industry: 57% plunge in total net revenue for the weeks since coronavirus lockdowns were imposed
in Europe and North America.

On that note, Eutelsat reported a 4.4% slump in third-quarter revenues as postponed sport
events and reduced travel hit earnings.

In the battered oil industry, Petrofac warned it was now assuming most new projects would be
delayed until 2021.

MORNING CALL: EUROPE SET FOR 4% WEEKLY LOSS (0545 GMT)

The STOXX 600 is set for a 4% weekly loss at the moment, its worst performance since the
peak of the coronavirus crash in mid-March.

European futures are however currently trading in positive territory, exposing the change in
sentiment which has lifted Asian shares after a weak open last night.

While fresh fears of a U.S./China trade war were weighing on markets earlier, oil prices
rose are extending gains with data showing demand for crude picking up in China.

The industrial output of the world's second biggest economic power rose 3.9% in April from a
year earlier, an encouraging sign for European countries hoping to return to growth as they
slowly try to get over coronavirus lockdowns.
