Bonus liquidity arrives as air access remains a plan, not a schedule
The new information is policy-heavy but disclosure-light: bonus payments are operating, while the oil announcement and planned airline returns lack the terms or schedules needed to judge execution. In banking, the P2P FX spread widened sharply, adding a live transaction-pricing signal to otherwise preliminary policy and mobility news.
The oil announcement still lacks assessable terms, while the P2P FX spread widens and Corimon advances.
Bottom line
Keep oil and aviation plans out of base-case assumptions until signed terms and firm schedules appear; separately, watch bonus-linked liquidity when setting near-term cash and pricing decisions.
