Fuel prices remain a rip-off, competition watchdog declares
Competition among fuel retailers is "failing consumers" because drivers are still paying too much to fill up, according to regulators. In an update on its monitoring of the fuel market, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the cost to all motorists from the previously identified increase in retail fuel margins since 2019 was over £1.6bn in 2023 alone.

CMA CGM sees shipping demand holding up after restocking wave
Shipping giant CMA CGM said on Thursday that brisk international trade and Red Sea disruption supported its main maritime division in the second quarter and should limit any market slowdown later this year as new ship capacity arrives. The world's third-largest container shipping line reported a 6.8% year-on-year increase in volumes in the second quarter. Restocking by U.S. firms continued in the April-June quarter, partly due to concerns that geopolitical tension with China may disrupt trade, as well as the risk of strike action by U.S. East Coast port workers, Chief Financial Officer Ramon Fernandez said.

Jetmaking industrial problems overshadow orders at damp air show
The world's largest air show fizzled out on Thursday with a solid new Saudi jetliner order unable to dispel the gloom over recent problems in producing planes fast enough to meet demand. Britain's Farnborough Airshow opened earlier this week amid alarm signals from airlines over falling yields or average fares. Airbus and Boeing posted about 40 firm orders - a fraction of recent years - and were roughly level depending on whether Qatar Airways' decision to come forward as the previously unnamed buyer for an existing Boeing order was counted.
