By Dhirendra Tripathi Investing – Shares of HP Inc (NYSE:HPQ) fell by more than 6% in Friday’s premarket as the company’s warning that the semiconductor chip shortage would limit its ability to supply personal computing devices and printers at least until the end of the year overshadowed its robust quarterly earnings.

Airline body sees Big Oil backlash as catalyst for green fuels By Reuters

By Laurence Frost and Sarah Young PARIS/LONDON (Reuters) - The increasingly effective green backlash against oil majors by activists and shareholders is a welcome development for the aviation industry as it prepares to raise its own environmental goals, the head of global airline body IATA said on Friday. Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association, said that challenges of the kind encountered by Exxon, Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and Shell (LON:RDSa) this week could boost investment in the lower-emission fuels so desperately needed by airlines. "I think it's great that the oil industry...

Funds recommended cutting equity exposure in May to lowest level this year By Reuters

By Tushar Goenka BENGALURU (Reuters) - Funds recommended the lowest equity exposure this year in May, citing risks from the expected pull-and-push between reflation trades and dovish central banks, but most respondents in Reuters polls said a near-term correction in stock markets was unlikely. While global shares have see-sawed in May, with technology-related stocks taking a hit, the MSCI world equity index breached an all-time high and European bourses were near record highs, helped by policymakers allaying inflation concerns. Still, Reuters polls of 35 fund managers and chief investment officers in the United States, Europe and...

IATA chief pours cold water on Airbus jet output increase By Reuters

PARIS/LONDON (Reuters) - The most senior representative of global airlines on Friday cast doubt on plans by Europe's Airbus for sharp increases in jetliner production, saying they appeared overly optimistic. Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association, voiced scepticism a day after Airbus published proposals to almost double single-aisle production to as high as 75 jets a month by 2025. "Let's wait and see, because obviously there is a huge disconnect between what the manufacturers say they're going to produce and what the airlines decide to buy," Walsh, previously head of British...

We’re TotalEnergies: French oil major gets green rebrand By Reuters

By Sarah White and Benjamin Mallet PARIS (Reuters) -Oil and gas group Total won more than 90% backing for its climate plan to gradually reduce its emissions on Friday, when shareholders also voted overwhelmingly in favour of its rebrand as TotalEnergies to mark its shift to renewable energy.

BoE’s Haldane sees faint echo of 1970s in inflation spiral risk By Reuters

By Andy Bruce LONDON (Reuters) -Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane has warned there is a chance that cost pressures faced by British companies lead to high prices that become embedded in pay demands, in an echo of inflationary wage-price spirals of previous decades. Haldane, who leaves the Monetary Policy Committee in June, has previously warned of an inflationary "tiger" prowling as Britain's economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this month he cast a lone vote to reduce the scale of the BoE's bond-buying stimulus. "There's again a chance that those price pressures could...

Take Five: A looming labour crunch? By Reuters

(Reuters) - 1/PRIME TIME PAYROLLS     How fast is the U.S. recovery? Friday's U.S. monthly jobs report will add fuel to the debate.     In April, U.S. job growth unexpectedly slowed, possibly because of shortages of workers and raw material. Non-farm payrolls added a mere 266,000 jobs compared to predictions for more than 3-1/2 times that. Optimism over jobs has offset concerns about rising inflation and diminishing government financial support, lifting May U.S. consumer confidence to a 14-month high. For May jobs, a Reuters poll predicts a 621,000 rise. Strong data could again...
