Here’s Why eBay, Twitter, Delta, Southwest, and More Are Trending

Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:LUV), United Continental Holdings Inc (NYSE:UAL), and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL) are trending after rules that stipulated passengers on direct flights to the U.S. from eight nations, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Saudi Arabia,Turkey, Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco, and Qatar, had to put large electronic devices such as laptops into checked baggage took into effect on Tuesday. The requirement could increase passenger baggage revenue for the industry if the rule is broadened to other nations. In addition, traders are also watching the three equities due to the airline’s somewhat inverse relationship with crude. If crude prices sink, airlines will benefit due to lower fuel costs in the long run. If crude prices go up, the airlines will eventually have to pay more in fuel costs. 88, 54, and 50 top funds we track were long Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL), United Continental Holdings Inc (NYSE:UAL), and Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:LUV) at the end of the fourth quarter.
