  • FTSE bounces back as pound slips

    Deliveroo’s shares slid to an all-time low after rival Uber Eats announced plans to expand its service to Germany in the coming weeks, ramping up competition among food delivery firms. While the news doesn’t have direct implications for London-listed Deliveroo, which withdrew from Germany in 2019, “it’s a reminder that there are deep-pocketed competitors in this industry,” Berenberg analyst Sarah Simon told Bloomberg. Uber’s senior vice president of delivery, Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, told the Financial Times that Germany would be “strategically important”. Shares in Deliveroo, which have had a hard time mustering up gains since listing at the end of March, flopped 9.8p to 233p, extending declines to 40pc below its listing price. Joining the fallers was fellow food delivery service Just Eat Takeaway, which dropped 214p to £77.16, marking it down as one of the worst performers on the benchmark. Germany is one of its most lucrative markets. The wider market pared some of Tuesday’s declines, though the FTSE 100 failed to bounce back up above the 7,000 level as it rose 35.42 points to close at 6,895.29. The FTSE 250 shed 22.82 points 22,085.73. Tobacco giants British American Tobacco and Imperial Brands rebounded 44p to £27.36 and 32.5p to £14.98 respectively. It followed a slump on Tuesday for both stocks on the news that the Biden administration is considering tougher curbs on cigarettes. Healthcare, however, was an outperformer of the day. According to Michael Hewson, market analyst at CMC Markets, “a positive read across from US medical devices company Intuitive Surgical” sent medical equipment manufacturer Smith & Nephew to a more than two-month high and to the top of the FTSE 100. It added 52p to £14.66. Drug maker AstraZeneca advanced 126p to £76.20 after India’s Serum Institute said it would sell its vaccine to private hospitals at $8 (£5.70) per dose. Among others in the pharmaceuticals sector, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline were in the top 10 winners on the benchmark. Ladbrokes parent Entain rose 36p to a fresh all-time high of £16.63 after BetMGM – a US joint venture with the Las Vegas casino operator – said it was targeting net revenue of $1bn in 2022. It also said it expects the US sports betting market to be worth $32bn, more than previously expected. The US venture is the largest “iGaming” operator – online casinos and bingo – and the second-biggest sports betting firm behind FanDuel, which is owned by FTSE 100 rival Flutter Entertainment. Shares of Flutter rose 20p to £146.95. Meanwhile distribution and outsourcing firm Bunzl weighed on the top flight, down 80p to £24.24 despite saying it expects “robust” revenue growth for 2021. It reported a 1.4pc rise in underlying revenue for the first three months of the year.

  • Chanel loses European court fight in trademark dispute with Huawei

    French luxury house Chanel on Wednesday lost its trademark fight with Huawei Technologies after a top European court said their logos bear no similarity to each other. The dispute dated to 2017 when Huawei sought approval from the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), a trademark body, to register its computer hardware trademark which has two vertical interlocking semi-circles. Privately owned Chanel objected, saying that the design was similar to its registered French logo of two horizontal interlocking semi-circles used for its perfumes, cosmetics, costume jewellery, leather goods and clothing.

  • Treasury-Buying Spree of $17 Billion Has UAE Eclipsing China

    (Bloomberg) -- The United Arab Emirates went on its biggest Treasury-buying spree on record in February, purchasing more of the safe-haven securities than China in one of the worst months for U.S. debt markets in years.The Gulf nation, OPEC’s third-biggest crude producer, raised its stockpile by about $17 billion to $50.6 billion, making it the largest buyer after the U.K. that month, according to U.S. Treasury Department data. A spokesperson for the UAE central bank declined to make any immediate comment Wednesday.Though the UAE, whose capital Abu Dhabi accounts for almost 6% of the world’s oil reserves, may have built up enough of a buffer to commit more if its dollar earnings to the $21 trillion Treasuries market, it came as prices tumbled amid growing expectations of a global economic rebound. U.S. debt dropped 1.8% in February, according to a Bloomberg Barclays Index, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbing about 34 basis points, its sharpest increase since November 2016.“Other than the fact that rates were higher and that is the deepest and most liquid market, I wouldn’t know any other reason” why the government would boost purchases, said Abdul Kadir Hussain, the Dubai-based head of fixed-income asset management at Arqaam Capital.The move took UAE holdings to levels last seen in 2019 before the global pandemic and the crash in oil prices. China bought $9 billion of Treasuries in February to bring its total to $1.1 trillion, the highest since mid-2019. The country’s holdings are second only to Japan, which holds almost $1.3 trillion.Although a recovery in oil has been a boon across the energy-rich Middle East, the windfall may be even bigger for the UAE since it needs one of the lowest crude prices to balance its budget. Other top oil exporters in the Persian Gulf, including Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, cut back their Treasury holdings in February.The official tally may not accurately reflect the true size of a country’s holdings if they are held by banks in foreign countries.Like many of its regional peers, the UAE needs to have sufficient reserves to maintain confidence in its currency peg to the dollar. The central bank’s gross international reserves rose to almost 389 billion dirhams ($105.9 billion) in February, from 381.9 billion dirhams a month earlier.The International Monetary Fund estimates the UAE central bank’s reserves will reach $119 billion this year, in addition to more than $1 trillion in assets managed by the country’s wealth funds.Treasuries extended their declines in March, with the 10-year yield jumping a further 34 basis points to 1.74%. The yield was at 1.58% as of 10:39 a.m. in London Wednesday.(Adds China ranking, Japan’s holdings in fifth paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Coinbase to Stop Trading on German Exchange Over Missed Code

    (Bloomberg) -- A German exchange said it will halt trading in Coinbase Global Inc. shares due to missing paperwork necessary to make the stock eligible on its platform.Coinbase shares will cease trading on April 23, Deutsche Boerse said in a statement Wednesday. The company, which listed shares on Xetra and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as part of its U.S. initial public offering, provided a code necessary for trading that wasn’t properly linked to the listed entity, Deutsche Boerse said, without providing further details.“We’re aware of an administrative error that has made it necessary for Coinbase to resubmit certain documentation to certain European stock exchanges,” a company spokesperson said. “There have been no interruptions to trading of Coinbase stock at this time. We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible.”The code, a Legal Entity Identifier, or LEI, is a 20-character unique reference -- like a bar code -- which allows assets to be recognized in trades and is used by regulators to oversee markets. It contains information about an entity’s ownership structure and have been a requirement for trading in European markets since January 2018. A company can obtain a code within a few days, according to the websites of various LEI providers.“The only way to get Coinbase back into trading is for the issuer to apply for a LEI,” a spokesperson for Deutsche Boerse said.The missing code on the German exchange doesn’t affect trading in the shares in the U.S. The cryptocurrency exchange started trading on the Nasdaq last Wednesday, with the company’s valuation surging above a $112 billion, before the shares started to fall back. The stock closed down 2.8% after falling as much as 5.8% earlier in the session.“This is a small hiccup,” said Charlie Morris, a fund manager and founder of cryptocurrency price discovery site ByteTree.com in London. “Most major U.S. companies have a German listing but volumes are light.”(Adds closing stock price in sixth paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
