The nation imposed a suspension due to a COVID-19 outbreak earlier this week.

Vietnamese authorities had initially banned incoming international flights to Hanoi for a week starting Monday and to Ho Chi Minh City until June 14.

The aviation authority hasn’t revealed just why it was resuming flights earlier than planned.

Meanwhile, most of the COVID-19 cases in the current outbreak are locally transmitted and not from international passengers.

Travel impacts on Aviation

The news comes as the Global Aviation sector continues to struggle due to the pandemic.

The bosses of leading airlines have written to senior government figures in both nations, calling for an expedited travel corridor. 

With vaccination rollouts well underway within both nations, the aviation sector wants to ease travel restrictions on the normally busy transatlantic travel route.

The letter to US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and UK Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps stated:

“Air travel is a critical enabler of trade between our countries that was worth US$273 billion in 2019,” 

Of those who have joined forces include British AirwaysAmerican Airlines, United AirlinesDelta Airlines, JetBlue, and Industry Group Airlines for America.

“Public health must guide the reopening of international air travel, and we are confident that the aviation industry possesses the right tools, based on data and science, to enable a safe and meaningful restart to transatlantic travel

The letter signifies a rare joining of forces between airlines that are normally arch-rivals. The CEOs who signed the letter have proposed a summit to explore how to safely and swiftly re-open the critical route between the UK and US.

Market speculation rises, fueling concerns about correction

Investors are concerned about market speculation amid rising options trading and booming meme stocks and cryptocurrencies during a lengthy bull market.

Investors are concerned about market speculation amid rising options trading and booming meme stocks and cryptocurrencies during a lengthy bull market.

In Short

Investors are worried about rising speculation in options, meme stocks, and cryptocurrencies, which may lead to market corrections despite ongoing enthusiasm. Analysts highlight elevated stock valuations and concerns over inflation and interest rates as key risks for future market stability.

Despite challenges such as trade wars and competition from AI, enthusiasm remains high. However, some traders fear that this speculation could lead to significant market corrections.

Seema Shah, a strategist at Principal Asset Management, has noted increasing signs of market froth, suggesting vulnerability to disappointments.

A key indicator of this is the strong performance of popular stocks like Palantir Technologies, which saw a significant increase following positive sales growth, and Strategy, a company heavily invested in Bitcoin.

Meme stocks, including GameStop and BlackBerry, have also experienced notable price increases, raising questions about market behaviour.

Record volumes

Options trading is surging, with record daily volumes noted in January, indicating heightened activity among traders looking for quick profits.

Speculation is spreading beyond traditional markets into prediction markets and cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin reaching record highs in January.

Meme coins, which derive value from internet popularity, have also gained traction, while overall stock valuations appear elevated compared to historical averages.

Although elevated valuations do not guarantee a selloff, they pose risks to long-term returns and are closely tied to the needs for strong corporate earnings.

Analysts warn that persistently high inflation could disrupt current market conditions, especially if interest rates remain elevated.
