Investors rushed into the Swiss franc and Japanese yen – long seen as safe-haven currencies – on Friday after reports said Israel had attacked Iran in the latest tit-for-tat exchange between the two adversaries, pushing up oil prices and causing caution across global markets. People familiar with the matter told Reuters that Israel attacked Iran, days after Iran launched an unprecedented assault on Israel in response to a suspected Israeli strike on its consulate in Syria, although Iran played the incident down and said it did not plan a new response.

Lando Norris took pole position for the sprint race of the Chinese Grand Prix in a chaotic qualifying session as the rain fell in Shanghai. Lewis Hamilton, who along with teammate George Russell had been struggling, looked to have taken an unlikely pole after mastering the wet conditions far better than his rivals only to be pipped late on by Norris. It equates to an all-British front row for tomorrow’s shorter race, the first sprint of the 2024 season at a time when Max Verstappen looked set to dominate the race against the clock.

Lufthansa executives and lawyers will attend a day-long hearing in Brussels on Friday to try to convince EU antitrust regulators to clear the company's bid for a minority stake in Italian rival ITA Airways. Lufthansa last week submitted remedies to address the EU competition watchdog's concerns about its 325-million-euro ($346 million) bid for a 41% stake in state-owned ITA, the successor to Alitalia. So far, the remedies are little changed from an earlier package the Commission rejected as insufficient, although Lufthansa can add remedies following the hearing, people familiar with the matter have told Reuters.
