The race for Spirit Airlines: JetBlue, Frontier jockey for win

JetBlue Airlines upped its offer for the highly desired Spirit Airlines Monday to $33.50 per share in cash in an attempt to knock the Frontier deal completely off the table. 

JetBlue's latest bid is $2 per share more than its prior offer on June 6, and 50 cents higher than its original bid in April to acquire all the outstanding common stock of Spirit Airlines Inc. Spirit’s board opposed JetBlue's original offer earlier this year, saying antitrust regulators would never allow it.

However, in its revised Monday proposal, JetBlue said it strengthened its commitment to divestitures needed to satisfy regulators but won’t drop a controversial partnership with American Airlines in the northeast U.S.

US stocks edge higher after three-day holiday weekend

Symbol PriceChange%Change
SP500$3,674.84+8.07+0.22%
I:COMP$10,798.35+152.25+1.43%

U.S. stocks were higher early Tuesday morning as markets will reopen in a few hours after the three-day Juneteenth holiday weekend.

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average on Friday wrapped up their worst weeks since 2020, with the major indexes extending whipsaw moves that have injected fresh volatility into markets. 

The S&P 500 rose 8.07 points for the day, or 0.2%, to 3674.84, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 152.25 points, or 1.4%, to 10798.35. The Dow fell 38.29 points, or 0.1%, to 29888.78.

All three finished the week with sharp losses. The S&P 500 fell 5.8% for the week, its largest decline since the COVID-19 pandemic roiled markets in March 2020. The Dow fell 4.8% for the week, its biggest drop since October 2020. 

The once-hot crypto market also had a crazy week, reinforcing investors' concerns that there is nowhere to hide from the current market turmoil. One of the largest crypto lending platforms, Celsius Network LLC, told customers on Sunday it was pausing all withdrawals.

The anxiety spread quickly throughout the sector all week. Meanwhile, Asian markets Asian stocks rebounded. Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney gained. Shanghai declined. The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo added 1.8% to 26,246.31 while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.8% to 3,288.12.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 1.2% to 21,420.76. The Kospi in Seoul was 0.7% higher at 2,407.62 and Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 rose 1.3% to 6,514.80. India's Sensex opened up 1.7% at 52,460.17. New Zealand and Southeast Asian markets gained. 

Investors worry efforts by U.S. and European central banks to cool inflation that is running at a four-decade high might derail global economic growth. 

Japan and China, two of the three biggest economies, have avoided joining in rate hikes.

On Monday, China's central bank left its benchmark rates unchanged. The Bank of Japan stuck to its policy of near-zero interest rates last week despite concern that is weakening the yen's exchange rate.

Oil prices climb on market caution over tight supply

SymbolPriceChange%Change
USO$83.34-4.32-4.93%
CVX$148.38-7.10-4.57%
XOM$86.12-5.27-5.77%

Oil prices rose on Tuesday, clawing back more of last week's losses as investors focused on tight supplies of crude and fuel products rather than concerns about a recession dampening demand going forward. 

Brent crude futures rose 81 cents, or 0.7%, to $114.94 a barrel at 0703 GMT, adding to a 0.9% gain on Monday. The benchmark contract fell 7.3% last week in its first weekly fall in five. 

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for July, which expire later on Tuesday, rose to $111.19 a barrel, up $1.63, or 1.5%, from Friday's close. There was no settlement on Monday, which was a U.S. public holiday.

WTI dropped 9.2% last week. The more-active WTI contract for August was up $1.84 at $109.83 a barrel. 

"Supply concerns are likely to persist in the coming months as OPEC+ countries, the world's major oil producers, may not have enough spare capacity... The summer travelling season and China easing its COVID-19 restrictions will push demand to grow further," said Leona Liu, analyst at Singapore-based DailyFX. 

"Although recession fears have increasingly become a headwind for oil prices, it is estimated that we still have at least half a year to go before a real recession." 

Analysts said that prices have been supported by supply anxiety after sanctions on oil shipments from Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter, after its invasion of Ukraine and questions over how Russian output might fall due to sanctions on equipment needed for production. 

"Supply concerns are unlikely to subside unless there is a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war, or unless we see a sharp rise in supply from either U.S. or OPEC," said Madhavi Mehta, commodity research analyst at Kotak Securities.
