LONDON (ShareCast) - British Airways is likely to issue its second profits warning of the year. Analysts will be particularly focused on what the fuel-guzzling airline has to say about rising crude oil costs.

Bookmaker Ladbrokes updates the market. Investec Securities expects the company to report trading in line with expectations, helped by high slot machine revenues and improved gross win margins.
