Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
New cycling event could be headed for Granite City
A new annual Tour of Scotland cycling event could potentially be coming to Aberdeen, Inverness and Oban in 2024.
As Tour of Britain mania settles down around the north-east, an opportunity for yet another blockbuster cycling event could be just around the corner.
SweetSpot, the promoter and organiser of the Tour of Britain, told the Press and Journal it is planning on launching a new event that will focus on cycling events "north of the central belt".
The event will be held in the spring, so it does not clash with Tour of Britain's summer slot.
The first Tour of Britain was held in 1945, and is now the most prestigious event in British road cycling.
There are hopes the Tour of Scotland could be just as successful. ITV are in discussions about covering it live, as they already do for the Tour of Britain.
Hugh Roberts founded SweetSpot in 2002. The company has been organising and promoting the Tour of Britain since 2004.
Chief executive Mr Roberts said: "Aberdeen is the cornerstone of our plans, but we are also looking to go to Inverness, Oban and Stirling.
"Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council have worked tirelessly to put on the event and we have built a really good relationship with them.
"We hope the events will be a great way to stimulate tourism and support local economies."
Four shared banking hubs for Scotland
Another 13 locations, including four in Scotland, have been earmarked for shared banking hubs to ensure services are available in areas where the last bank branch has closed.
A swathe of branch closures have raised concerns about access to cash for those who need it, and difficulties for small businesses trying to deposit takings.
Ministers have prepared legislation to ensure people can access cash locally.
At these hubs, run by the Post Office, customers of any bank can access their accounts, deposit cash and cheques, and withdraw money at any time. Trickier inquiries are dealt with by a representative from one of each of the major banks who each visit once a week.
The BBC says the 13 new proposed banking hub sites include Brechin, Forres, Carluke and Kirkcudbright.
No Russian gas until sanctions stop
Russia has warned that it will not resume gas supplies along a key pipeline to Europe until sanctions are lifted.
Moscow has blamed Western countries for its decision not to reopen the Nord Stream 1 pipeline after it was shut for three days for maintenance.
When asked if supplies would resume pumping if sanctions were eased, a Kremlin spokesman said: "Definitely".
The BBC says gas prices soared on Monday due to mounting concerns over energy supplies.
Wholesale prices have been very volatile in recent weeks. They fell sharply last week when Germany announced that its gas storage facilities were filling up faster than expected.
Europe has accused Russia of using gas supplies to blackmail European countries because of the Ukraine conflict.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday: "Pumping problems arose because of sanctions imposed against our country and against a number of companies by Western states, including Germany and the UK.
Jump in profits at Ashtead
Ashtead Technology has reported soaring profits in its first half-year results since the company's launch on the London Stock Exchange last November.
The Aberdeenshire subsea specialist posted pre-tax profits for the first half of 2022 of £6.9million - up from £2.1million in the corresponding period in 2021.
Revenues for the six months were £31.7million, compared to £24.7million previously.
The strong year-on-year revenue increase was delivered through growth across all geographic markets, driven by higher demand in both offshore renewables and offshore oil and gas.
Ashtead's employee headcount at the end of June was 219, 7% higher than the end of last year.
Energy Voice says the firm achieved a market valuation of nearly £130million from its initial public offering last year.
The company was admitted to the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) on November 23.
