IAG Share Price Loses Momentum
LON: IAG chart shows that the shares are crawling back up after a pullback at the end of June 2023. Although the price seems to have lost momentum, a retest of 170p level still seems to be on the cards. This will be a key retest to watch, as a rejection from this level will make IAG share price forecast extremely bearish.
The UK inflation and the state of the US & UK economies will continue to play a significant role in the price action of airline stock. If the major global economies enter a recession later this year, then the demand for air travel is likely to plunge.
