I think the part you are failing to really grasp is that affects the wider holiday and tourism sentiment. Back to cruises there are presently 6 cruise ships in the Gulf

Expecting it to fall further given people will be giving most of the Middle East and probably now Cyprus a wide berth for flights and holidays.

River cruises might be less impacted but I'd expect it to impact Ocean cruises and the Holidays divisions and yo temper growth assumptions. Trump last night was saying he expects this conflict to last a month.

Should be benefiting from the spike in oil prices but unfortunately "in the region" so lockdown makes sense.

Trump last night was indicating it should take a month.

Genel also falling similarly.

Risky to be holding any airline, cruise ship or internationsl travel operators given the weekends events.

The reality given how airports, ports, hotels have been targeted won't be pretty for airline and any travel related shares.

Just as things were picking up for Saga as well with holidays and cruises performing well, then the US attacks and Iran in response targets airports, hotels and western assets in the wider region.

Not good for the whole sector. Fuel prices should rise and demand should fall. By how much will be the question.

How it affects IAG and other airlines and holiday and cruise ship companies. The Oil price and cost of all fuels including airline fuel will rise and the holidaying sentiment for the region will be decimated with little demand and people after refunds.

Airlines and international holiday companies could see large falls. So also should Middle Eastern Funds and companies with large Middle Eastern exposure.

The Oil price should go up along with Oil shares and prices at the pumps.

Gold should also probably see a rise.

It's just a case of how low things IAG gets sold down . Same probably for Easyjet, Wizzair, Ryanair, On The Beach, Carnival, Saga which also operates Holidays and Cruises.

Just being a realist.

All airline and holiday shares will take a large "hit" tomorrow and probably continue to fall as things prolong. The

USA and Israel have just gone to war with Iran and the two key differences are that on previous ghe Supreme leader wasn't killed and also previous retaliation was confined to Israel only whereas already airports, ports, statement hotels, and real estate tower blocks with apartments have already been targeted. Straits of Hormuz also being closed is the number 3 difference.

How it affects IAG and other airlines and holiday and cruise ship companies. The Oil price and cost of all fuels including airline fuel will rise and

Always wise to bank some profit on the big jumps or it disintegrates as others do bank.

Will it or won't it affect the share price?

100% tariffs on China and China vowing yo fight back.

Trade wars would not be good for either.

Trump rearing his head again with 100% tariffs on China effective from 1st November and China indicating they are up for a fight.

Not the best of times to be holding any shares with China in their name. Least of all when Trump is in office.

You can't gloss over the facts that Revenue, profit and margin are all down. Uneasy day ahead I would think.

620p I thought was generous. Probably a good chance of 550p or 500p appearing if markets turn.

Unfortunately there is always someone gets sucked in paying the higher price. It's where it ends today that matters and there is no great institutional volume in their so it will probably swing back and forth. Brilliant for the daytraders making 1 and 2%

I think ots had its rise for today and its petered out.

Now at the hands of the Analysts and probably trying to recoup large client losses or work themselves an advantageous buy in price with all forms of skulduggery.

Seems to be running out of steam and private investors buying in for now. Institutions are far more wary and most have set investment criteria which don't include financial overstatement and profit warnings.

The growth story is gone and so are any dividend prospects. 2 main reasons why people invest

As they should be coming.

Probably as early as next week for the first.

It takes more than changing the cover of a book. There's a long road ahead and probably better opportunities for now .
