Shares of Singapore Airlines Ltd slipped around 0.2% to S$6.42 in Monday afternoon trading, underperforming the stronger overall market as oil prices inched higher. (Investing.com UK) This matters because jet fuel makes up a huge chunk of airline costs. Even minor shifts in crude prices can quickly reshape margin forecasts, particularly as companies prepare to report on demand after the holidays.
