The conflict in Ukraine is a certainty for current events this week, but activity will be largely off the agenda – except for events such as the UK’s reopening of its embassy in Kyiv – for the next seven days. Somewhat ironically, there’s a long list of other war anniversaries this week – from Monday’s Anzac Day to Vietnam’s Saturday commemoration of Liberation Day. A reminder that peace has been an unattainable dream for this modern day world.

At the same time, we are in a kind of small vacation period. Easter, Orthodox or not, has passed and this coming Sunday announces the various May Day celebrations around the world.

Emmanuel Macron beat Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election on Sunday night, with the incumbent’s far-right rival conceding shortly after early projections showed him winning more than 58% of the vote. Stay tuned to the Financial Times for analysis this week.

“There will be adjustment costs [and] there will be efficiency losses and this could lead to increased unit costs because things are not done as efficiently as before.

Companies

It will be a week for geeks in terms of corporate earnings this week. Big Tech had a good pandemic. The question now is whether Meta, Alphabet, Amazon.com, Microsoft or Spotify can sustain their strong growth rates. After Netflix’s precipitous drop in subscriber numbers last week, investors are no doubt nervous, although, as has been pointed out, there is a difference between a business purely focused on streaming television and film and other technology companies.

Golden child Apple may now consider itself a Hollywood gamer after winning the top prize at the Oscars, but its investors are worried about its ability to deliver new tech kit given the wave of lockdowns in many of its Chinese manufacturing hubs . This next iPhone model won’t happen on its own, you know. Morgan Stanley analysts say Wall Street’s consensus forecast for the June quarter of $86.7 billion (up 6% year-on-year) “looks high” given Chief Executive Tim Cook’s typical caution in guidance material.
