is widely expected to combat soaring inflation by hiking interest rates this year. Higher rates have enormous implications for investors; Warren Buffett has repeatedly underlined their vital role in valuing stocks, businesses, and other assets.

British Airways and American Airlines have announced plans to launch joint operations at New York’s JFK airport next year.

BA currently operates flights from Terminal 7 but will move to the airport’s Terminal 8 on Dec 1, 2022.

This comes as new renderings of the redevelopment have been released, showcasing a US$400 million investment to expand and enhance Terminal 8.

The two carriers had already started on the redevelopment project in January 2020, breaking ground on five new widebody gates, four new widebody hardstand parking positions, an enhanced baggage handling system, new customer amenities and expanded premium guest offerings including over 12,000 sqm of new and renovated terminal space.

Banking shares are in demand on the basis they should benefit from any further interest rate rises.

The Bank of England may well raise the cost of borrowing again at its February meeting after it belatedly moved in December.

NatWest Group PLC (LSE:NWG) is up 3.57%, helped by UBS analysts upgrading their recommendation to buy.

The move came in a positive note of the sector: "We believe UK banks are attractively valued, absolutely and relatively, given the combination of payouts and profit gearing we expect to play out."

Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) has been lifted by 3.43%, Barclays PLC (LSE:BARC) by 3.04% and Standard Chartered PLC (LSE:STAN) by 3.87%.

Morgan Stanley notes six reasons why UK markets should outperform the broader European market over the next few months:

1) UK tends to outperform in risk-off periods - "over the last 20 years, MSCI UK has outperformed MSCI Europe 68% of the time during periods when global equities are falling," says Secker.

Defensive sectors account for 37% of UK market cap according to Morgan Stanley.

2) UK is a relative beneficiary of higher real yields - "a move up in US real yields to our bond strategist's target of -10bps would point to c. 12% outperformance of MSCI UK versus Europe-ex-UK," says Secker.

3) UK is one of the cheapest major global stock markets - "At 12.6x, the FTSE100 is the cheapest major index versus its own 10-year history," says Secker.

4) UK to benefit from increased focus on dividends - "MSCI UK's dividend yield of 3.6% is currently twice as high as that on offer from MSCI World and nearly 150bps more than MSCI Europe-ex-UK."

5) EPS expectations are very low for the UK

6) UK is a key beneficiary of our positive view on oil - "A rising oil price is very positive for UK EPS, given that 25% of UK profits comes from Energy sector," says Secker.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said this morning public sector borrowing from the end of March to December was £146.8 billion – the second highest since records began in 1993.

Government borrowing stood at £16.8 billion in December, down by £7.6 billion from the same month a year earlier, according to official figures.

The data also showed that public sector debt, excluding public sector banks, was £2.34 trillion at the end of the month, or around 96% of gross domestic product (GDP).

Luis Gallego, chief executive of IAG--which owns British Airways and Iberia, among others--said that under the current circumstances the decision would force airlines to operate flights with low load factors, thus generating unnecessary CO2 emissions. "This is bad for the environment and detrimental to aviation's efforts to tackle climate change,"
