Brent crude oil topped $95 a barrel overnight, but has eased back to $93.85 this morning despite the US having launched further airstrikes on Iran in the early hours, following Donald Trump’s warning that Tehran would “pay the price” for the slow pace of negotiations.
Iran directed retaliatory strikes towards Bahrain, where the US Navy fleet is based, as well as Kuwait and Jordan.
On Wall Street overnight, stocks suffered a steep selloff after inflation data came at a three-year high and renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East dashed hopes of prices easing soon. The tech-heavy Nasdaq and the blue-chip Dow Jones both fell sharply, down 2% and 1.9% respectively, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.6%.
This morning, Asian stocks are mixed, with Chinese markets in red, but others just above flat.
Wizz Air reported an annual operating profit above analysts’ expectations on Thursday, with a capacity bump and improved cost control supporting revenue growth even as even as the Middle East conflict disrupts the airline industry. Wizz Air, whose shares have taken a hit since the U.S.‑Israeli war on Iran drove a profit warning on higher fuel costs and disrupted Middle East flights, has cut costs and boosted promotions, raising hopes for a summer turnaround. The company reported an operating profit of €139.7 million ($161.3 million) for the year ended March 31 compared with analysts expectations of €88.51 million, according to data compiled by LSEG. The carrier did not provide a forecast for fiscal 2027, citing a lack of visibility caused by the prolonged Iran war.
