0504 GMT - Risks to earnings for air carriers ANA and Singapore Airlines are rising due to concerns over potentially lower air travel demand, says Morningstar analyst Nicole Lim. Morningstar downgrades its Uncertainty Ratings for the two airlines to medium from low, to reflect rising global risks and lower earnings visibility, Lim says. Tariffs may disrupt supply chains, leading to increased prices for aircraft parts, Lim says. Maintenance costs could also rise but be offset by falling jet fuel costs. "We think tariff confusion is leading to slower global economic activity with passenger and cargo demand likely to fall, hitting airline revenue," Lim writes. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
