Big changes are afoot at space tourism company Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) -- and it would appear they are not good news for the stock, which is down 15.1% in 11 a.m. EST trading Friday. As TheFly.com reports today, company chairman Chamath Palihapitiya, the man responsible for engineering Virgin Galactic's IPO by special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) two years ago, has sold the last of the shares he personally owned in Virgin Galactic, selling off 6.2 million shares of Virgin stock over the course of this week.

(Bloomberg) -- Oil rallied to the highest in nearly two years in New York after OPEC+ shocked markets with a decision to keep supply limited as the global economy starts to recover from the pandemic-driven slump.U.S. benchmark crude futures topped $66 a barrel on Friday, while its global counterpart Brent edged closer to the key $70-a-barrel level. The producer alliance’s aggressive supply management and the continued rollout of vaccines worldwide has aided a stellar rebound for crude since the depths of the coronavirus-related fallout. OPEC+’s surprise decision on Thursday to keep output steady in April has accelerated those price gains, spurring a wave of upgrades in oil price forecasts by major banks and a surge in the market’s structure.“In some ways, even more important than the lack of oil, was the message that came with it: They’re not really worried about price, not worried about tightening,” said Paul Horsnell, head of commodities research at Standard Chartered Plc. “In the short-term, certainly through to the April meeting, the market can go where it wants. The door is wide open to prices beyond $70.”Crude in New York has soared over 35% so far this year, setting multi-year highs with OPEC+ output restraint holding the market over until a full-fledged comeback in consumption. The group’s latest decision represents a victory for Riyadh, which has advocated for tight curbs to keep prices supported.“Overall, this was the most bullish outcome we could have expected,” JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts including Natasha Kaneva wrote in a note to clients.The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies including Russia had been debating whether to restore as much as 1.5 million barrels a day of output. As part of Thursday’s agreement, Russia and Kazakhstan were granted exemptions, allowing them to increase supply marginally in April.Saudi Arabia’s bold and unexpected gamble to restrain production is founded upon its view that, this time around, higher prices will not lead to a big increase in output by American shale drillers. Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said in an interview after the meeting that shale companies were now more focused on dividends.Oil’s rebound this year stands to intensify the debate about a potential resurgence in inflation, and complicate the task facing the Federal Reserve as it supports the U.S. recovery. The Treasury market is already looking for signs of faster price gains, with yields rising rapidly. Meanwhile, U.S. employers added more jobs than forecast in February.See also: Here’s What Top Banks Are Saying About the Saudi-Led Oil ShockGoldman Sachs Group Inc. raised its Brent forecasts by $5 a barrel and now sees the global crude benchmark at $80 in the third quarter. JPMorgan increased its Brent projection by $2 to $3 a barrel and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. boosted its three-month target to $70. Citigroup Inc. said crude could top $70 before the end of this month.Change CourseOil rising to these levels will likely increase strains within OPEC+ as some members will want to pump more to relieve under-pressure economies, Citi said in a note. Top importers such as China and India would also not be happy and the alliance is likely to change course at its next meeting, it said.The lack of fresh supply was reflected in oil’s futures curve. Brent’s prompt timespread widened to as much as 73 cents in backwardation -- a bullish structure where near-dated prices are higher than later-dated ones -- from 54 cents Thursday. Gauges further along the oil futures curve also surged.“We’re going to continue to draw inventory at a much faster rate than we had expected just two days ago,” said Andrew Lebow, senior partner at Commodity Research Group. “Moving forward, if demand continues to improve, there’s certainly a chance of a serious supply shortage.”For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

(Bloomberg) -- Stocks climbed as technology shares rebounded from an earlier selloff. Treasuries stabilized. The dollar rose.Most major groups in the S&P 500 advanced, led by energy and consumer shares. The Nasdaq 100 was still in the red amid a slump in giants Tesla Inc., Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. Earlier Friday, equities retreated as U.S. jobs data soared past estimates, fueling anxiety the economy will run too hot and kick up inflation. Benchmark 10-year bond yields were little changed after hitting 1.6%.The recent spike in Treasury yields has unsettled markets around the world, with high-flying technology companies bearing the brunt of the stock rout. While analysts say growth prospects for the industry remain largely unchanged, a reckoning was long in the making. The rout in Tesla this week, for example, has already wiped out nearly $90 billion from the electric-vehicle maker’s valuation.“Big tech is going to continue to dominate, but I think that it’s been just an incredible, incredible non-stop run that has to have a breather,” said Peter Mallouk, chief executive officer of Creative Planning. “What you saw this week was pretty healthy -- the market can’t go straight up. When you start to see everything going up at the same time, it just increases risk and it shows there’s no discretion.”Read: Momentum Quants Will Unleash the ‘Most Turbulent Rebalance Ever’These are some of the main moves in markets:StocksThe S&P 500 rose 0.5% as of 12:38 p.m. New York time.The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 0.8%.The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dipped 0.8%.The MSCI Emerging Market Index declined 1%.CurrenciesThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index climbed 0.4%.The euro dipped 0.4% to $1.1918.The Japanese yen depreciated 0.2% to 108.23 per dollar.BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries fell one basis point to 1.56%.Germany’s 10-year yield climbed one basis point to -0.30%.Britain’s 10-year yield increased three basis points to 0.756%.CommoditiesWest Texas Intermediate crude climbed 3.4% to $65.97 a barrel.Gold rose 0.2% to $1,701.53 an ounce.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
