Concern about interest rates and lower oil prices pulled Ryanair in different directions but left the airline’s share price unchanged at €15.05.Britain’s FTSE 100 ended lower on Friday, with energy stocks leading losses as oil prices fell on concerns about interest rates staying higher for longer, while lender NatWest dropped on a dour earnings forecast.
“Investors are reappraising their expectations for interest rates in the light of very strong data in the US and some quite hawkish comments from central banks,” said Paul O’Connor, head of multi asset at Janus Henderson Investors.
