What's happening in the news

Keep an eye on the news

Think about the impact that everyday news may have on the market.

For example, a high oil price will have a positive effect on the price of shares for oil companies but will have a detrimental effect on transportation companies such as hauliers and airlines whose fuel bills will increase.

Likewise, a cold winter may signal increased revenue for electricity providers, but an increase in fuel bills might mean consumers cut back on non-essentials, which will impact retailers.
