subject: Bomb Threats: The Global Trade Market Demonstrated Signs Of Stability After The Police Authorities.. [print this page] The global trade market demonstrated signs of stability after the police authorities intercepted the bombing threats on airplanes traveling between America and the United Kingdom. American investors, which supports Asian commerce, disregarded concerns after global trade analysts stated that the impact of the recent crisis will not last long. However, security measures are still being applied on both local and foreign flights on airlines based on the US.
The said bomb scare, which was planned to destabilize the global trade, barely affected the Financial Times Stock Exchange Authority (FTSE) in Britain with the British Airways stocks mirroring the wealth of FTSE 100 index. The Airline Company will soon resume their flights back and forth London Heathrow despite the possibility of having some delays. Meanwhile, Easyjet -- another Britain-based carrier -- increased its shares despite numerous canceled flights. Oil cost in the United Kingdom also decreased amidst the issue that the threat will abridge travel in the upcoming days which will shorten fuel demand.
In America, investors in New York ignored fears regarding the bombing plot's protracted influence on the global trade. Instead, they diverted concerns to other business problems like issues with Apple Computer Inc that postponed its upshots despite queries made by the stock options. In the meantime, investors views were ailing due to the data on retail sales that fanned some concerns regarding the Federal Reserve's rate increase. However, investors were still discreet with regard to the shares of American, Continental, and united airlines. The three commercial airlines were suspected to be the target of the bomb threat. On a related incident, the Nikkei index of Japan also decreased by some percentage. However, the decline was triggered by the sluggish domestic development and not by the alleged terrorists scare.
The bomb plotters in question were allegedly using chemicals seen in some liquids to produce bombs and detonate the bombs using electronic gadgets. Despite the global trade stability, the US is aware that the threat still remains, prompting the nation's Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) to ban some liquids in international and domestic flights. TSA officials said that they will only permit liquid formula for babies like milk and some medicines like cough syrups, glucose and pain relieving gels, and other drugs for patients suffering from diabetes.
Howard Archer, an economist from the Global Insight, said that the scare might have an effect on tourism, airline commerce, and other industry sectors related to the travel business. But it wouldn't have much influence on the economy of Britain. He also said that the scare's impact toward the global trade and on the confidence of consumers and businesses will stay for a short while. Archer said that the threat and alerts fanned by terrorism have been a component of living in the United Kingdom, specifically the bombing attacks in London in July last year. The economist also stated that the suspected airplane attack can be a big issue on the global trade but on the contrary, no one has been injured and no machine was destroyed.
