It was a day five years in the making for Virgin Australia, and it went off without a hitch: Australia's second-largest airline group is finally back on the ASX, with CEO Dave Emerson ringing the bell for its IPO on Tuesday. The relisting caps off a remarkable turnaround for Virgin Australia after it collapsed into administration in 2020 during COVID-19 – but now that the long road back to public trading is over, what's next for the carrier? Adam and Jake discuss how Virgin got back on its feet, how it's changed its business model, and where its future might take it. Plus, with tensions in the Middle East playing havoc with flights through the region, should airlines be looking at more connecting hubs between Australia and Europe?

US and Australian markets have rallied after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Plus, Virgin Australia's shares take-off after re-listing on the ASX-200. Blackmore Capital's Yu Yi spoke with Ricardo Goncalves.

Wall Street started the new trading week with a surprising but welcome rally as investors welcomed the delayed reaction by Iran to the U.S. launching an attack on its nuclear facilities over the weekend. Oil prices tumbled overnight as investors now bet the impact of the Middle East war won't be as great as was first expected on global oil supply from the region. The S&P500 rose 0.96% on Monday, the Dow Jones gained 0.89% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq ended the day up 0.94%.In Europe overnight markets extended their losing run to close lower as investors in the region still fear retaliation from Iran may be incoming. The STOXX 600 fell 0.25% on Tuesday, while Germany's DAX lost 0.3%, the French CAC closed 0.7% lower and, in the UK, the FTSE 100 ended the day down 0.2%.Across the Asia markets on Monday it was a mostly negative session following the U.S. attack on Iran over the weekend sparking further concerns of escalated and prolonged tensions in the Middle East and beyond. Japan's Nikkei fell 0.13%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.67%, China's CSI index gained 0.2% and South Korea's Kospi index ended the day down 0.24%.The ASX started the new trading week in the red with a 0.36% loss at the closing bell as investors fear Iran will respond to the US attacks over the weekend, which is the key driver of oil and uranium prices rising further overnight. The US entering the Middle East war takes the conflict from a regional to global war, spreading fear and further uncertainty among global markets and investors. Financial stocks were up due to their safe-haven nature in the local market while energy stocks are on a run amid fears of impact on global oil supply due to the Middle East war. Industrial, healthcare and staples stocks took the biggest hit on the local market to start the week with losses over and near 1% each.Homewares retailer Adairs (ASX:ADH) followed the recent retailer trend by plunging over 20% on Monday after warning the FY25 earnings will come in below FY24's amid elevated promotional activity eating into margins on the back of a slow down in consumer spend.What to watch todayOn the commodities front this morning oil has tumbled 8.85% to trade at US$67.49/barrel, uranium is up 1.5% at US$75.90/pound, gold is up 0.03% at US$3370/ounce and iron ore is down 0.02% at US$94.75/tonne.The Aussie dollar has strengthened against the greenback to buy 64.64 U.S. cents, 94.41 Japanese yen, 47.63 British pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 8 cents.Ahead of Tuesdays trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the new trading day up 0.73%. Virgin Australia is also set to rejoin the key index today through an IPO pricing the company at $2.90/share.Trading IdeasBell Potter has downgraded the rating on Smartpay Holdings (ASX:SMP) from a buy to a hold and have reduced the 12-month price target on the full-service provider of payment solutions after the company announced it has entered into a Scheme Implementation Agreement with Shift4Payments to be acquired at a cash price of NZ$1.20/share. The analyst believes the offer is opportunistic and undervalues the quality of the asset.Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Woolworths Group (ASX:WOW) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 28-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $31.41 to the range of $30.20 to $30.50 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

Từ chuyện ‘bán vé ma' cho đến chậm trễ, hủy chuyến không bồi thường cho hành khách, Virgin Australia và Qantas đang phải giải trình trách nhiệm của mình trước quốc hội Úc.

Between tropical cyclones, cockpit medical episodes, and airport security breaches – and all of those just in Australia – one could perhaps be forgiven this week for having a sudden bout of aerophobia. There's been a harsher spotlight on aviation safety stateside, too, with staffing cuts threatening the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as SpaceX's latest Starship explosion forcing the closure of four major airports in Florida. Adam and Jake look back at a wild week in the skies and discuss some of the safety concerns that have been brought to the forefront. Plus, some long-awaited white smoke at Virgin Australia as a new chief executive is announced just hours before the carrier is awarded its coveted 28 weekly flights to Doha – so what will Jayne Hrdlicka's legacy be as she finally bows out of the top job?

HEADLINES:- Saudi Stocks Extend Losses on Weak Earnings; Emirates NBD Lifts Dubai- FBI Confirms North Korea's Lazarus Group Behind $1.5B Bybit Hack- Australia Approves Qatar Airways' 25% Stake in Virgin Australia to Boost Competition`

Will a price war emerge as Qatar takes a 25% stake in Virgin Australia boosting services between Australia and Doha? Alxandra Jones speaks with Aviation Expert Ellis Taylor from Cirium, plus SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves takes a look at the day's market action with Henry Jennings from Marcus Today.

Friday headlines: Australian divorce rates at lowest in half a century, Penny Wong accuses coalition of ‘gunboat diplomacy’, mystery surrounds death of legendary Hollywood actor, and Katy Perry is going to space on all-woman crewed Blue Origin mission. Deep Dive: The government has approved a deal that will let Qatar Airways buy a quarter of Virgin Australia. The deal means an extra 28 flights a week – and there’s hope more competition in the sector equals cheaper airfares going forward. The Treasurer Jim Chalmers yesterday greenlit the deal with some caveats – including a guarantee of an Aussies on the Virgin board and protection of customer data. You might remember the political shitfight that was Labor knocking back a bid by the same airline to operate more routes in Australia in 2023 – with the Opposition and others accusing the Government of being far too cosy with Qantas. On this episode of The Briefing, author of the Chairmans Lounge and founder of new Australian media company Rampart News, Joe Aston, joins Bension Siebert to explain what this is going to mean for all of us flying in the future, and what Qantas might be feeling about it all.

As Rex has limped on in administration over the past half-year, with prospects for a sale dimming, the question has occasionally been asked: might the government step in more forcefully to keep its essential services in the air? Now we have our answer: if the administrators can't find a buyer, the government is looking at the option to buy Rex itself, which would make the carrier the first in Australia to be publicly owned since the privatisation of Qantas around 30 years ago. But what would await the government if it were to stump up the cash for the ailing airline – and is it a good idea in the first place? Adam and Jake discuss what might be behind the decision, and whether it's scuppered any chance for a commercial sale. Plus, with the ACCC looking to wave the Qatar deal through, are Virgin Australia flights to Doha now all but inevitable?

The news came like an assassin in the night: Paul Jones, the long-rumoured frontrunner to replace Jayne Hrdlicka as CEO of Virgin Australia, was out of contention following pushback by the powerful TWU. With no further word on who might be under consideration for the top job – and with Hrdlicka still saying she intends to leave the airline – when might we know who will sit in the captain's chair of Australia's second-largest airline group? Adam and Jake discuss what might be next for Virgin as the CEO search continues. Plus, will a Finnair pilots' strike throw a spanner in Qantas' works?
