| News: What you need to know about the markets | | | | | | | Stocks soar in China; Ryanair warning; Fiat Chrysler sells parts business | | By Ivana Kottasová, CNN Business | | | | 1. China stocks jump: China's battered stock market had its best day in more than two and and a half years on Monday. | | | | The Shanghai Composite index surged over 4% after senior government officials pledged new support measures for China's struggling economy and financial markets. | | | | The benchmark index had plunged by more than a quarter since late January over fears about the economy and the impact of the trade war with the United States. | | | | But central bank chief Yi Gang said Friday that the recent slump in the stock market didn't reflect the state of the economy, which he described as "moving forward" in a stable manner. | | | | He added that the government would take more measures to support the economy. | | | | Tech companies were among the top beneficiaries on Monday. Big Chinese tech stocks like Tencent (TCEHY) and Xiaomi rebounded in Hong Kong, and the tech-heavy Shenzhen Composite added nearly 5%. | | | | 2. Ryanair warning: Ryanair (RYAAY) said Monday that its profits fell 7% in the first half of 2018. The discount airline, which issued a profit warning earlier this month, has been hit by strikes and flight cancellations. | | | | But CEO Michael O'Leary also issued an industry warning: He expects more airlines to go bust in the near future, opening more business opportunities for Ryanair. | | | | "Fares are falling, oil prices are rising steeply to $85 per barrel, I think there will be more and larger failures this winter," he said. | | | | Shares in Ryanair jumped 4.7% on Monday, but are still down more than 20% this year. | | | | 3. Fiat Chrysler offloads parts maker: Shares in Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) gained 5% in Milan after the carmaker announced it was selling its auto parts business to Japan's Calsonic Kansei for €6.2 billion ($7.2 billion). | | | | The deal is one of the first big moves by Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley. He took the top job in July, replacing the late industry legend Sergio Marchionne. | | | | 4. Global market overview: US stock futures were pointing higher. | | | | European markets opened with gains following a positive session in Asia. | | | | The Dow Jones industrial average closed 0.3% higher on Friday. The S&P 500 was flat, while the Nasdaq shed 0.5%. | | | | 5. Earnings and economics: Halliburton (HAL), Hasbro (HAS), Kimberly-Clark (KMB) and Philips (PHG) will release earnings before the open. Sallie Mae (SLM) and TD Ameritrade (AMTD) will follow after the close. | | | | The US Census Bureau will release data on new home sales for September at 10 a.m. ET. | | | | Italian bonds jumped after Moody's downgraded the country's sovereign credit rating by a notch. Moody's did not move the rating into junk territory, however, providing some relief to investors. | | | | | | | |
