On Wall Street, the Dow Jones and S&P both sank after the personal consumption price index, an inflation measure valued by the Federal Reserve, jumped to 6.4% for the year to February, compared with a January reading of 6.2%, Meanwhile, sterling rose against the euro due to the upgraded GDP revision for the three months to December but could not match a buoyant dollar. The Dublin-based online bookings platform saw shares move 3.8p higher to 77p after it reported a 10% increase in revenues to 16.9 million euros for 2021 compared with the previous year.
