* IAG: Willie Walsh will pass the controls of IAG ICAG.L to Luis Gallego
at the British Airways and Iberia owner's annual meeting on Tuesday, where
shareholders will be asked to stump up billions of euros to help it through the
coronavirus crisis. * OIL: Oil prices fell on Tuesday amid concerns that a possible rise in
COVID-19 cases following the U.S. Labor Day long weekend, which also marks the
end of the peak U.S. driving season, could squeeze demand for fuel. * GOLD: Gold prices slipped on Tuesday, weighed down by a stronger U.S.
dollar, but the safe-haven metal's decline was limited by growing fears over the
global economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis. * The UK blue-chip index .FTSE ended 2.4% on Monday as Astrazeneca and
GlaxoSmithKline rose on news about their respective COVID-19 vaccines, while a
weaker pound helped exporters. UK CORPORATE DIARY:
