hope you had had a fantastic weekend. got off to a little bit of mischief. and initially rising a bit and then we fell back just a tad. so stoxx europe up just a tad and that is reflected on the european equity markets. the majority of europe trading in slight negative territory. a bucking trend in the ftse 100. by and large though a relatively be9 start to trade. you would have noted tat we saw banks rallying strongly on friday on the back of these proposed measurers from the trump administration. and it was quite a bit stronger than anticipated. so what tuz this mean for our fed rate cycle to come? let's get on to some of the main stories we've been following this morning. randgold shares rallying after
4:03 am
it rose by 76%. they increased dividends to $1 per share. they say it passed its net cash target. the chief execsaid investors have no doubt about the company's prophfitability. >> we a tough year last year. which ended well. we were able to meet another specific milestone. half a billion dollars of net cash, no debt by it end of the year and i think we've sewn we manage our business ands there runobody that sld the doubt about the profitability of randgold resources and the good thing is what's the year look like ahead and we are able to talk to a 10 year profitable
4:04 am
production profile at $1,000 an ounce gold. >> and looking at the minorers this morning. trading in positive territory with a rally coming through from a number of these companies out there the likes of randgold. glen core following along to tune of 1 and 1/4%. another area we're seeing quite a bit of activity is in the airlines. ryan air trading towards the bottom of the stock 600 after announcing the over capacity in aviation. the airline warned of a challenging year ahead, siting brexit as a concern for carriers. an 8% drop in third quarter profits and that's compared to last year. an aviation analyst. good morning. ryan air trading lower by
4:05 am
1 1/2%. a little bit shy of that. 8% drop seen year on year. we saw average fairs falling by 17% during the third quarter as well. how is the beginning of 2017 going to mark for ryan air? >> i actually think the release was such a positive read. i know the yields came in down 16.6% year on year. but they've garnered up to a 15% decline in the current quarter and bare in mind there was no easter. that suggests minus 12 on a like to like basis. i think the yield trend rate is actually a positive direction, although headlines was worse than guidance from the company. i think that suggests that we've had had over capacity. it will continue into the summer
4:06 am
season bought lot of airlines beginning to think about their capacity into next winter and we expect to see curtail plans and that upsets opportunity to leverage into that recovery and what i would call a land grab of passengers at this current trading period. i actually think it's a positive read, rather than negative. >> so you're indicating you think fares will continue to drop. 33 euros, 28 pounds per passenger during the third quarter. >> i think it's indicative of the season. in the summer you'll pay double that on an average fare. but in terms of long-term
4:07 am
direction, that has always been the case. eat your cost and fair that through consumer and that varies on the fuel position and we think fares may begin to stabilize by this winter but genetically it's about cost and there's nobody better. we saw that with cost improvements and guidance and 4% decline this year. so ryanair delivers the ability to inkrnl passengers to travel because it just focuses on cost quarter by quarter and that's what really sets it apart from the rest of the market. >> then at the same time i look at their comments with are eguard to brexit. how much of an impact do you anticipate this is going to have on the likes of ryanair?
4:08 am
>> i think it surprise to date is the way they leverage out their credit cards and still looks to be pretty robust. i think the question mark is less about the rights to fly. i think they have contingency plans in terms of how they can manage the right to fly and air operators certificates. but i think it will be the whitiness of the consumer. and so the question is does the u.k., slowing u.k. economy into next year? i think that's real wrae the question lies. too early to tell. but in this current summer it looks like a robust demand for travel to the sun belt. i think it's an issue for 2018, not 2017. . >> how does ryanair compare to
4:09 am
other budget airlines that moment? is this a by? >> i think if you look at the release that we've had today, we had cuts in the current trading periods from easy jet, the same for wiz. ryanair is effectively dictating the market. they are in control of the market in a degree which i thik is unprecedented in history. so i think from that perspective they gave an unchanged guidance from the march fiscal year in. i think the very fact they remained in that range just tells you they are the stronger player of the moment and to me this reminds undivided. >> aviation analyst from good body.

♪ hi everyone. welcome back. you're still watching "street signs." the roam in ian government has released a decree following week long mass rotests. the decree would have protected dozens of politicians from prosecution. hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets in what was the largest march since the down fall of the brutal dictator. now francois fillon will be holding a press conference to launch a counterattack amidst his collapsing poll ratings, according to sources close to
4:49 am
the presidential candidate. the french presidential frontrunners, marie le pen and macron held conferences. le pen plans to crack down, telling her party faithful that the upcoming election would decide whether france can still be a free nation. she made a campaign pledge to hold a referendum on leaving the european union unless she can renefwoer renegotiate measures. >> worse it's imposed a form of tutelage keeping us on a short leash. who can find satisfaction in an action in a face of a systemal
4:50 am
that has us in chains, and worse that ruins us because of its malfunctions. that's why once elected i'll announce a referendum on whether to stay or leave the eu. >> well, independent candidate macron striking a different tone at a rally across town. >> translator: everywhere we see the temptation to close ourselves off. i have the britain choice in mind to choose a path for many thought unthinkable. i am reminded of our american's friend choice's mission to guarantee peace and order on our planet. >> well, claire joiness us from
4:51 am
paris. two starkly different messages. they're trying to get the votes from his fillon's supporters that might not support him anymore. >> reporter: they're both trying to gather all the electors that could be disappointed with fillon. the right' wing voters are deeply troubled by fillon's struggles. you heard him. very opposite views of where they want to be. she wants national preference on jobs and welfare while he advocates open borders and the national front leader says immigration is a problem, macron says it is an asset for france. of course what is on everybody's mind is what is fillon going to say in the press conference this afternoon at 4:00 p.m.?
4:52 am
many commentators are expecting him to say that he remains on the race even though there's big term oil about the alleged work that his wife held at the national assembly. he has a lot of pressure. he's under a lot of pressure within his political party. but it is expected that this afternoon he will say that he's ready to find and to remain in the race but then again we might have surprises. this is full of surprises. what is for sure is that -- so there's a lot of pressure but the problem for the right is that they don't have an alternative, a plan b. fillon had 4 million people vote for him in the primaries. he said i'm not going to be the plan b and of course this 4:00
4:53 am
p.m. press conference is going to be followed by everybody. >> joining us live from out std eiffel tower in paris. a litical analyst. do you think le pen can beknl president? >> i think she's not a chance in the second round. one is that front national is still toxic. there's enough french people that would never vote for le pen in the second round. when asked what they think of her on a scale of 1 to 10, 60% put her between 1 and three. i think other big reason is that the french remain attached to the euro, to the eu even if not totally in love. and every time she goes on
4:54 am
stage, i think her chances revees. .er for i plrp had it's okay. at the moment you have to put him as the favorite. he's very much liked by the french people at large. one is fillon comes down. >> and i think the third challenge is that he has to stay quite vague in orderer to maintain that centerest coaliti coalition. >> do you think whether or not she works according to the agreement, that can boil over? >> i think fillon was very much in the position he was.
4:55 am
republican kacandidate by virtu of the fact that he'd been the favorite for too long and fillon was default candidate. and it only took scandal or small issue to show you that. >> what kind of ecnauj forgram does france need? >> clearly a number of structural issues in the economy. macron at least showed the ambition to deal with a number of those and had the advantage of having some of the left on his side. so he could immobilize enough to pass this up. marie le pen is promising to close france off to the rest of
4:56 am
the world and for us as a house we'd say that was a step backwards, rather than forwards. >> you got to wonder what would happen with franco/german relations as well. >> i think the idea that the eu could function with marie le pen. on the other hand if we get someone like macron, i think that could energize the french/german relationship. he seize the relationshipicize stlin. uh-huh u fune fst pch -- thank you very much for being with us.
