Ferry Operator Among Irish and UK stocks Poised to Climb after Brexit Trade Deal Signed

A number of Irish listed companies, including Irish Ferries owner, Irish Continental Group (ICG), were expected to get a lift when the stock market opens today.

Stock markets in Ireland and the UK are expected to jump this morning on the first day of trading since the Christmas Eve post-Brexit trade deal was secured.

They will also get a boost after US President Donald Trump finally signed off on a $2.3tn (€1.88tn) pandemic aid and spending package.

Germany’s DAX hit a record high in early trading yesterday, spurred by optimism over the trade deal, while other bourses including those in Spain, Italy, France all showed gains.

A number of Irish-listed companies including Irish Ferries owner Irish Continental Group (see shipping container division story), CRH, Smurfit Kappa, DCC, UDG Healthcare and Kingspan will be among those likely to get a lift this morning.

Dublin and London markets were among the only ones closed in Europe yesterday.
