MARKET REPORTS
Boohoo leaps back into fashion thanks to reopening of China

Adding more miners and airlines to your portfolio is an obvious way to play the grand reopening of China, but might there be another option? Analysts at Exane BNP Paribas think so.
They are particularly fond of Boohoo, arguing that the fast-fashion retailer is an “underappreciated” China reopening play. They point to the benefits of air freight becoming cheaper and quicker, while their estimates assume that the country forms about 40 per cent of the company’s total sourcing exposure.
The French bank believes this will help Boohoo to respond more rapidly to new trends with its “test-and-repeat” model — making small batches of lots of different clothes, then speedily stepping up production of the most popular designs — that also should help to reduce discounting and drive better sales performance.
An open China boosts Boohoo because it is the source of 40 per cent of its supplies

The analysts are aware, too, that the opening up of global air travel gives Boohoo the chance to strengthen its delivery proposition to international customers, including in the United States, where Shein, the Chinese fast-fashion powerhouse, has been muscling in. With all this in mind, they decided to raise their “neutral” rating to “outperform”, inspiring a rise in the shares by 5¾p, or 11.8 per cent, to a six-month high of 54¾p.
Having roared to record high closes in the past four sessions, the FTSE 100 finished the week in the red, or at least in unfashionable pink, as investors gauged the prospects of further interest rate rises. European bourses, including London’s leading share index, tracked Wall Street lower after the possibility of a bigger
50-basis point interest rate rise was talked up by two of the Federal Reserve’s policymakers. They were reacting to expected US inflation figures that were stronger than had been expected.

The FTSE 100 edged marginally down by 8.17 points, or 0.1 per cent, to 8,004.36, but its stellar performance in recent sessions meant that it finished 121.91 points, or 1.6 per cent, higher over the week.
The more UK-focused FTSE 250 fell 92.52 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 20,088.93, but it also ended the week higher than where it had started, gaining 58.86 points, or 0.3 per cent, on aggregate.
NatWest, the third of the big banks to report its full-year figures, dropped to the bottom of the FTSE 100 as traders looked past its bumper profits after the lender warned that rising interest rates may not deliver the long-lasting earnings bonanza that investors hope for, while its financial forecasts for this year also disappointed.
Thanks mate. Usually it's mystic moron.
me thinks
Its going to stay at 46p for the next year
