U.S. futures and European stocks dropped on Friday as investors mulled a reported conflict among policy makers over a stimulus package for the single-currency region, as well as political upheaval in France. The Stoxx 600 Index fell after Bloomberg News reported the European Central Bank is facing a potential rift over how much their emergency bond-purchase program should stay weighted toward weaker countries such as Italy. The euro fluctuated following French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to name a new prime minister after asking his government to resign. Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc slumped after the British jet-engine maker said its exploring options to raise funds to strengthen its balance sheet. The dollar was slightly down, posting its first weekly drop in a month, while American cash equity and bond markets were shut for Independence Day. President Donald Trump will attend an early July 4 celebration at Mount Rushmore with thousands of guests who won't be required to wear masks, while his U.K. counterpart Boris Johnson urged Britons to act responsibly as pubs prepare to re-open and the government lifts quarantine rules on travel for 60 countries. The friction at the ECB highlights the risk to markets should promised stimulus measures fall short. Investors continue to weigh policy support and upbeat economic data against relentless new outbreaks of the virus. U.S payrolls figures Thursday fuelled optimism of a V-shaped recovery in the world's biggest economy, even as Florida reported that infections and hospitalizations jumped the most yet, and Houston had a surge in intensive-care patients. Emerging-market stocks posted the biggest weekly gain in a month. Elsewhere, crude oil dipped but remained on track for a weekly gain.

The Court of Appeal yesterday issued judgment “comprehensively” in favour of property portal owner OnTheMarket’ssubsidiary, Agents' Mutual, regarding all the competition issues in its legal proceedings against Gascoigne Halman, part of the Connells estate agent chain. While the non-competition issues relating to OTM’s claim remain to be resolved, we see this as a positive in terms of investor sentiment and allows senior management to focus more on the delivery of its growth strategy.
This morning OnTheMarket (“OTM”) management confirmed that “as of 31 January 2019, it has listing agreements with UK estate and letting agents with more than 12,500 branches. This is an increase of more than 7,000 branches in just under a year since Admission to AIM in February 2018.”

This allows for a potentially rapid improvement in profitability. We maintain our BUY recommendation.

The H1 trading update from Gfinity, the leading international esports business, demonstrates further progress in the refocusing on a Strategic Client Management model where Gfinity acts as the trusted independent partner to games publishers, sports rights holders, brands and media companies in the development and delivery of their esports strategies. Gfinity is reallocating resources towards its community, consulting and content creation streams to supplement delivery of end-to-end esports programmes. As part of this, the Company has taken the decision not to progress a material opportunity for a new contract with a customer where it has recently completed a major project. This results in a significant reduction in FY20 revenue forecasts but improved mix and ongoing cost control means that adj. EBITDA loss actually reduces. We have also reduced our revenue growth assumption for FY21 and now expect that Gfinity will move into EBITDA profit in H2 FY21. This change has implications on our cash forecasts however we note the company is in discussions with several potential strategic investorsthat would create new opportunities for the Group.
