    Ukraine expects energy deficit to rise in summer due to Russian attacks

    Ukraine may face an increase in electricity shortages this summer caused by recent Russian attacks on power stations amid rising consumption and a repair campaign at nuclear power plants, the head of the country's grid operator said on Friday. Since late March, the Ukrainian energy sector has been the target of massive Russian missile and drone attacks, causing blackouts in many regions and raising the issue of decentralisation of generating capacity. "We will definitely face challenges in the summer and these challenges will be primarily related to capacity shortages due to damage to power plants," Volodymyr Kudrytskiy, the head of Ukrenergo grid operator, told a televised briefing.

    GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks enjoy a bounce from rate-cut fever

In currencies, the pound headed for a modest weekly loss after the Bank of England (BoE) on Thursday paved the way for the start of rate cuts as soon as next month, while data showed the UK economy exited a mild recession in the first quarter of this year. The MSCI All-World index was up 0.3%, as equities in Asia and Europe took their lead from a rally on Wall Street overnight, after data showed the number of people filing for jobless benefits for the first time rose more than expected, suggesting the U.S. economy is beginning to slow.
