Markets UK - FTSE in the red over further interest rate hikes from US Federal Reserve | Proctive

Tweet 

  Linkedin   

11 July 2022

London’s blue-chip index lost 76 points as it opened for the start of the week, down to 7,120. Concerns over further interest rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve have caused jitters in the market. Wizz Air said it expects a return to profit in the next quarter despite a “challenging macro and operational background.” The airline said revenue per available seat kilometre will continue to improve on the back of higher fares and growing load factors. Klarna is expected to announce it secured funding from existing investors and new backers which could include Canada's largest pension fund. At US$800m, the size of the funding round is larger than previously anticipated. Uber is at the centre of a major scandal after documents were leaked. It is alleged Uber lobbied officials to drop investigations, used a "kill switch'' to thwart law enforcement and considered exploiting violence against its drivers to gain public sympathy. Among the small caps, Thor Mining completed its drilling programme at its Ragged Range gold and nickel project in Pilbara. The drilling samples have been sent to a lab in South Australia, with assay results expected to return by September. OptiBiotix struck a commercial deal with one of the world leaders in flavourings and ingredients. Its deal with Firmenich will see the two companies develop new products containing OptiBiotix's SweetBiotix low-calorie alternative to sugar. Induction Healthcare said it signed an agreement System C Healthcare, which will sell Induction’s Zesty engagement platform. Zesty allows people to manage their hospital appointments, as well as view their letters and clinical records.

Investment - #FTSE opens flat with UK shop prices growing at fastest rate in May in over a decade | Proactive

Tweet 

1 June 2022

FTSE 100 opened flat as traders started to wind down ahead of the four-day Queen’s Jubilee celebrations. There were a few deals but the blue chip index edged down 5 to 7,601.   Sports Direct owner Frasers Group has bought Missguided for £20mln after it collapsed into administration. The online fashion retailer suffered from supply chain problems, rising freight costs and growing competition from rivals.   Shop prices grew at their fastest rate in May in over a decade. Retail price inflation was 2.8%, spurred on by accelerating food inflation, with experts warning it will get “worse before it gets better.” Tullow Oil and Capricorn Energy have agreed to merge to create “a leading African energy company with a material and diversified asset base and a portfolio of investment opportunities delivering visible production growth.” Capricorn is valued at £657mln through the deal and its shareholders will own 47% of the enlarged company.   The chief executive of DWS, the asset manager controlled by Deutsche Bank, has resigned following a second police raid on its offices in Germany in a month on greenwashing allegations. US authorities are already investigating the bank for similar accusations.   Open Orphan said its hVIVO subsidiary has inked a £14.7mln influenza deal with an existing client. The unnamed global top-five pharma company has engaged the contract research group to carry out a characterisation study before testing its vaccine on healthy volunteers. Among the small caps, Feedback expects revenue for the year just ended to be “materially ahead” of market expectations after its strong interim trading momentum continued into the second half.  Progress with its flagship product Bleepa as well as additional technology licence fees arising from its partnership with Imaging Engineering are driving sales.
