| News: What you need to know about the markets | | | | | | | Trade ceasefire; Ryanair profits jump; Italy in the spotlight | | By Ivana Kottasová | | | | 1. China-US trade ceasefire: The world's top two economies have agreed not impose new tariffs on one another while trade talks continue. | | | | "We're putting the trade war on hold," US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox News on Sunday. | | | | After talks in Washington, China has agreed to "significantly increase" purchases of American goods and services to reduce its huge trade surplus with the United States. | | | | But experts say the underlying issues that have fueled economic tensions between the two countries, including how China gets its hands on American technology, remain unresolved. | | | | 2. Ryanair's soaring profit: Ryanair, Europe's biggest low-cost airline, reported a 10% increase in annual profits on Monday. That's despite having to cancel a large number of flights last year because of pilot strikes and scheduling problems. | | | | However, the airline has warned it expects profits to fall this year because of higher staffing and fuel costs. | | | | Ryanair stock dropped 1.1% in London after the open, but rebounded by mid-morning to trade up more than 1%. | | | | 3. Italy in the spotlight: The main Italian stock index in Milan was 1% lower early on Monday, the only major European market not in positive territory. | | | | Investors were also dumping Italian government bonds, and the euro was down 0.3% against the dollar. | | | | Concerns remain about the populist parties that are on the verge of forming a new government in the eurozone's third biggest economy. | | | | The party leaders are expected to meet the Italian president as soon as Monday to present him with the name of their nominee for prime minister. | | | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news.
