0814 GMT - European airline stocks are mixed after easyJet's first-half results pointed to an uncertain demand outlook for the industry partly driven by the conflict in the Middle East. "These are turbulent times at easyJet," Interactive Investor's Richard Hunter says in a note. "easyJet's profit warning in April has taken some of the sting out of these much lower numbers, although the group remains cautiously optimistic for the remainder...of the year and extremely upbeat on its ongoing strategy." Shares in easyJet rise 0.7%, with Deutsche Lufthansa, Air France-KLM and Wizz Air all up. Meanwhile, British Airways owner IAG and Ryanair are down, and Jet2 trades flat.(adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
