Institutional investors are the "most bullish" since November 2021, according to Bank of America's monthly fund manager survey.

The reason for this optimism is more to do with expectations over interest rate cuts rather than corporate earnings.

More than eight out of 10 (82%) of the fund managers expect the first interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in the second half of this year, according to the survey, which polled global money managers with a combined $562 billion in asset under management.

Brokers Liberum and Peel Hunt maintained their positive outlook on British Airways owner International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (LSE:IAG) after it exceeded expectations in the first quarter.

Liberum reiterated its buy rating with a target price of 450p, noting that IAG’s operating profit reached €68 million, significantly higher than the €9 million recorded in the previous year and above the consensus estimate of €48 million.

Liberum’s own forecast had predicted €17 million.

The outperformance was largely driven by higher passenger revenue, said the broker, which also noted a 4.4% year-on-year improvement in unit revenues, particularly a 6.5% increase in the North Atlantic region.

Peel Hunt has also reaffirmed its buy rating, setting a softer target price of 230p after IAG surpassed the broker’s operating profit forecast of €56 million.
