Why are there 2 different prices?

Thankyou

Hi, call to close means you need to telephone to close.

Thanks Casey. That's useful info.

But I still have further questions.

The IAG rights issue offers holders the right to buy 3 shares for every 2 they currently have, at .92 euros.

Can I take up this offer or not?

Is IG offering to buy my rights?

30m
 

!!  IAG Rights ex-date was 14th September, please only call regarding this if you wish to trade the rights

Ah - so I can trade my rights or I can exercise my rights. If so I need to decide what is the best course of action for me.

I wonder why the price IG offers varies on different accounts? 

How do you get the best  / better price?

 

by different accounts do you mean share dealing and spread betting (CDF) accounts. sorry can't give answers, not my field, just relaying anything I see.

Did anyone actually receive an e-mail about the rights issue?

Like they usually email you asking if you want to take up the rights or do nothing or trade them?

I haven't seen any email coming in and now have the rights in my account. Weird one.

Certainly would like to take up the rights. What to do?

hey all, 

sharing the e-mail from IG below, so we're all on the same page. Trust you heard the share was diluted by the main share holders (meaning they issues new shares)  to make the price more attractive to the constitutional buyers. in this way they raised a few billions to support the groups liquidity throughout the pandemic.

We’re writing to let you know that International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (LSE) has announced a Rights Issue, entitling shareholders to subscribe for new shares in the company.

The terms of this Rights Issue are:

- Ex-date: 14/09/2020
- Issue: Rights Issue
- Ratio: 3 new shares for 2 shares held
- Subscription price: EUR 0.92 (GBp rate will be emailed to you when we are notified by our broker)
- Trading period: 14/09/2020 to Till IG deadline
- IG deadline: To be confirmed in due course via another email

What this means for the shares you hold

You have the following options for the shares held in your account:

-Take up the rights. Please reply to this email or call our trading services team on the number below to let us know you’d like to take up the rights
-Do nothing. The rights will then lapse (this is the default)
-Trade out of the rights by calling our trading services team. You must do this during regular trading hours
 

You’ll need to make your decision by the IG deadline. If we don’t hear from you before the deadline, we will lapse your entitlement as the default course of action.

Please make sure you have the relevant available funds to take up the offer for your full allocation of shares by the IG Deadline. The Deadline will be announced in due course and to work out how much you will need on your account the equation is below

The amount of shares you are due multiply by the Subscription price.

The information in this email is preliminary and could change. If you need help or have any questions, please contact us using the details below.
 

Kind regards

Hello, can somebody help and explain this rights issue? Is my understanding correct that if I hold 100 shares, I would be able to buy 50 shares at a pre-specified price that will be provided by IG over an email? If I accept this, I will get my average price down but ultimately I would still be worse off than where I was on Friday. 

Also, I see we can do it over the phone or reply to the email they sent me so I guess they'll execute the shares purchase etc and won't need to do anything or is that incorrect?

I got two emails for two accounts

The email doesn't really have much in the way of info. No deadlines dates (just says TBA, which isn't super helpful if it's soon...), doesn't have the cost per share (again, TBA). So, hard to base a decision on this (which is what the email asks you to do).

To the contributor asking about calling to close the trade and sell your rights - be aware that this will likely incur a higher broker fee. In Australia it's $50 or 0.1%, whichever is greater.

    • H4 Time Frame: Made an interesting observation. Looks like gold is in "Cycle Pattern #2"... Daily Time Frame: Gold is currently challenging cyclical support - an important level, a closing below would suggest a further decline, unless price creates a bearish reversal by immediately closing back inside the cycle. If this happens, we will have a low or temporarily low in place.
    • This week sees three major central banks meet to decide on interest rates. All three of the Fed, ECB and BoE are expected to leave rates unchanged, but the commentary around these decisions could cause volatility. Source: Bloomberg   Shares Federal Reserve Inflation European Central Bank Central bank Interest rate    Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Monday 11 December 2023 15:40 Fed to rein in hopes of rate cuts? The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain the current Fed funds target range of 5.25-5.5% at the upcoming FOMC meeting. This decision is influenced by recent economic indicators such as softer activity numbers, cooling labour data, and moderate month-on-month inflation figures. These factors suggest that the current monetary policy is likely restrictive enough to bring inflation down to the desired 2% level in the coming months. However, the focus of attention is likely to be on the individual forecasts of Fed members. The market perceives that significant rate cuts are imminent, but it remains to be seen how far the Fed members will align with this sentiment. It is anticipated that there will be considerable resistance to such expectations. Markets are now firmly anticipating the possibility of aggressive interest rate cuts by the Fed in 2023. On November 1st, after the Fed kept rates steady, markets saw only a 20% chance of a final rate hike in December and expected around 90 basis points of cuts through 2024. Currently, markets clearly believe interest rates have peaked, with 125 basis points of cuts priced in over the next year. The risk for this Fed meeting is that the central bank proves to be insufficiently dovish for current investor expectations. Risk assets like stocks having come so far since late October that they are now pricing in a lot more good news. Disappointment in the wake of the Fed meeting could spark a selloff in equities and a surge in the dollar that could undermine hopes of a ‘Santa rally’ in stock markets. ECB split on the way forward The European Central Bank (ECB) is facing internal disagreements regarding future monetary policy. Some members are open to further rate hikes, while others believe rate cuts may be necessary. The weak economic backdrop does not justify rate hikes, but the solid labour market and wage growth, along with inflation above target, make discussions on rate cuts premature. The ECB has mentioned the "last mile" in bringing inflation back to target, emphasizing the need to keep rates higher for longer. Wage settlements will also play a significant role in determining the ECB's stance. Despite the ECB's gradual shift towards a more dovish stance, there is a risk of underestimating disinflation. The ECB is cautious after years of above-target inflation, and will be slow in moving towards a more dovish stance. Bank of England to stick to tough stance on inflation The Bank of England (BoE) is expected to maintain its firm stance against interest rate cuts in the UK, despite other central banks considering a change in their approach to inflation. The BoE is projected to keep borrowing costs at a 15-year high and emphasise the need for elevated rates to combat stubborn inflation in the country. While the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve are also likely to keep their benchmark rates unchanged, officials at both institutions have indicated a potential shift towards rate cuts. Although the UK's inflation rate has decreased from its peak of 11.1% a year ago, it remains above the BoE's 2% target. The BoE is concerned that despite signs of a cooling labour market, wage growth remains strong following the 14 consecutive interest rate hikes between December 2021 and August this year. Governor Andrew Bailey and other members of the Monetary Policy Committee have consistently emphasized that it is premature to consider rate cuts. However, investors are pricing in a potential BoE rate cut for May or June next year. Nevertheless, the BoE is perceived to be lagging behind the ECB and the Fed, with markets indicating a 70% chance of rate cuts by March for both institutions.       This information has been prepared by IG, a trading name of IG Markets Limited.

    • Trends in the cryptocurrency market as of December 11, 2023: Market as a Whole: $1.71 trillion in market capitalization (-0.27% during the past day) Overall Market Sentiment: A little pessimistic, with Bitcoin becoming more and altcoins becoming less prevalent. Principal Patterns: Dominance of Bitcoin: With regard to the entire cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's dominance rate has risen to 52.45%, a 2.5-year high. This implies that investors may be shifting their portfolios to safer, larger assets. Technical indicators: A strengthening of the upward trend is indicated by the fact that the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin has risen over 70. In the near run, this might be encouraging for the price of Bitcoin. Price Action: After momentarily hitting $44,202, its highest level since April 2022, Bitcoin has been circling $44,100. Ethereum is remaining stable at $2,280. for more details
