Aircraft from various airlines sit on the apron and runway at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Photo: VCG Chinese and other Asian airlines have begun canceling flights to cope with a surge in jet fuel prices driven by the conflict in the Middle East. The capacity reductions underscore the severe financial strain on the global aviation sector, as fuel costs have nearly doubled since the conflict began, forcing carriers to abandon unprofitable routes even as they raise fares and surcharges.
Return of Alexander Isak is all well and good, but it will not redeem a season of sustained underperformance “The failure is big,” said Ryan Gravenberch as he digested the Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain that ensured Liverpool’s season will finish trophyless.

Return of Alexander Isak is all well and good, but it will not redeem a season of sustained underperformance “The failure is big,” said Ryan Gravenberch as he digested the Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain that ensured Liverpool’s season will finish trophyless. It was a more appropriate description of the team’s plight than Arne Slot’s insistence the future looks bright and a reality the head coach cannot avoid whether Champions League qualification for next season is secured or not. As it must be. Failure is unthinkable for a club whose business model depends on its lucrative revenue streams and a team that, 12 months ago, was about to win the Premier League title at a canter and was then remodelled to the tune of almost £450m. With the top five all qualifying, Chelsea fading from the conversation under Liam Rosenior and a five-point advantage over Brentford and Everton with six games to play, it would be a humiliating final blow for Liverpool to miss out. Slot’s defence for getting a third season to manage Liverpool’s transition would be holed. Continue reading...

Target (TGT) is starting to look like a recovery story just as the macroeconomic backdrop may be turning more favorable for consumer discretionary stocks. The March producer price index report showed wholesale inflation rising far less than expected, with upward pressure driven largely by energy, while service prices were unchanged and core goods, excluding food and energy, rose just 0.2%. That suggests the inflation shock hitting markets is more about oil than it is a broad-based reacceleration in underlying inflation. For retailers like Target, that distinction is important. If geopolitical tensions continue to ease and crude oil remains below its recent spike, the market can begin to price in a better environment for freight and supply chain costs and consumer purchasing power. That would mark a meaningful shift from the stagflation fears that have pressured discretionary spending over the past several weeks. That is where Target becomes interesting. The stock is already showing improving relative strength, and management has outlined a 2026 plan built around sales stabilization and profit margin recovery. With the shares trading roughly in line with their defensive peer group, despite better-than-industry margins, the setup looks attractive if the consumer spending backdrop simply stops getting worse. Trade timing & outlook Target has been building a constructive recovery as investors begin to price in a better second half of 2026. The stock has outperformed the S & P 500 (SPX) by more than 18.5% over the past three months, while the stock itself is up, signaling improving institutional accumulation. The key takeaway is that this no longer looks like a broken chart. It looks like a stock that has already absorbed a multi-quarter revenue slowdown and is now beginning to stabilize as expectations reset higher. Fundamentals Target's valuation looks reasonable for a retailer entering a potential margin recovery phase: Forward P/E: ~15.2x vs. industry ~15.2x Expected...
