Thursday preview: Carnival reports full-year results, UK retail sales, US jobless claims

Carnival is a major beneficiary of the collapse in the price of oil, Numis said ahead of the cruise operator's annual results on Thursday. "If current fuel prices are broadly maintained, we estimate a bunker fuel cost saving of over $500m in full year 2015 and we recently increased our FY15 earnings per share forecast by 35% from $2.20 to $3.00," the broker said.
