Travel stocks are sinking in London, hit by the combination of a cautious update from tour operator TUI and a higher oil price.
Wizz Air is down more than 5% and EasyJet is over 4% lower, while shares in British Airways owner IAG and package holidays seller Jet2 are slipping too.
Germany’s TUI said that bookings for the summer season have slowed in key markets, including the UK, following a strong end to last year. Its shares have fallen nearly 10% in Frankfurt.
And crude prices are rising, extending their biggest gain in nearly four weeks, on lower flows from Russia.
