I dont see much positive action coming today, the markets moved on what russia said and that's about as reliable as one of their tanks so there will maybe be profit taking after a 7% pump. I'd be happy with sideways action today.

China lockdowns hitting oil price and lifting IAG. Cant write this stuff. Praying for more covid here... lol

Zelensky saying he'll make concessions on Donbas, might be a turning point.

AC, that would desirable. Russia has been in the doldrums for god knows how long. They need to get with the times and stop holding themselves bk

I think Russia is now another Iran, Afghanistan type of place. We've created a nation of enemies unfortunately. The poorer they get the more extreme they get, and if putin "leaves" we're at the mercy of the mentality of the nxt guy.

Thinking back to 1930s Germany and we know what happened with rampant poverty there, it was weaponised.

This will go up if theres a solution in Ukraine and oil will drop. We're basically reacting inversely to oil prices. Theres no other serious headwinds atm. If ur trading that's what to watch for imo.

Or do what I've done load up on crypto and Hope for the best cos the world's going to **** lol

Go tell the ftse board

Unless Russia use up their nuclear weapons nato aren't going anywhere

International Airlines Group ("IAG") and Globalia have reached an agreement under which IAG will make a €100 million seven-year unsecured loan to Globalia. Subject to any relevant regulatory approvals, IAG will have the option to convert the loan into an up to 20 per cent equity stake in Air Europa.

"Even as prices for crude oil were on pace to reach their highest level in more than a decade following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, wagers against energy stocks rose nearly 70 basis points since November 2021 to 3.7% at the end of February. The figure placed short interest in the sector at a 16-month high, according to"

Hopefully oil will fall soon

Appear now and then, but I'm always intrigued when they all appear in the same day? Interesting...

Valid points Nzonze, but we're still in "covid price" in terms of mcap. Would a slight down turn in revenue from 2019 cause us to drop to 140p? Really don't think so. Seriously low Mcap atm.

Think there will be headwinds with inflation and recession but last time we were here was 2012... plenty of room to grow before the recession hits imo

Us carriers up 7/8%, wish wed catch up...

Need to laugh at berenberg, price target is the SP from march 1st. I'd call that the trading range ffs

I agree it's majority the oil impact we're seeing as a constant headwind. Hopefully this strategy the government is looking to outline will offer some ideas to balance the market.

That being said I'm reading from people in the space there isn't a particular shortage of oil more fear of disruption. If we get clarity from the west on forward production and supply stability oil will come down.

Wouldn't hurt to increase production in Iran and Venezuela etc but clarity may be enough to lift the sp here.

Always had a target of summer circa 220. Might not get it but anything above 180 would be welcome. after all this time capital has been doing nothing in IAG. Second I day trade it'll take off lol.

Hopefully a sign they're comfortable cash wise

Biggest problem with supply is opec struggled to increase the planned output due to lack of drilling etc. They have an agreed phased increase that hasn't materialised, adding to the issue. Hopefully they can remedy this. USA have blocked drilling permits on federal land from memory therefore they'll struggle as well. Joe biden playing a game of bad policies V bad man (trump) going into the mid terms. If he doesn't allow American industry to move forward the elections in 2024 will be an interesting 1.

If they come to their senses the SP will jump. Same goes with UK North sea

I wonder if we'll be sending masks to Ukraine and encouraging 2m. Covid was a farce. A classic example of failed leadership from weak men in the west.

Any shift by either side that might get closer to a solution is positive imo. If Ukraine conceded Crimea and the Eastern states which are pretty against nato membership anyway going on 2015 polls, id say its a better outcome than what will be the fall of Ukraine. Russia will win eventually with heavy losses. Ukraine can concede that, and negotiate their demilitarisation as that won't happen.

Don't short stocks :)
