European stocks choppy as trade war fears take hold
LONDON: European stock markets lost ground again on Thursday (Aug 15) as investors all but gave up hope that a US-China trade war could be nearing its end, while US equities nervously traded sideways. Fears over the stand-off between the world's two biggest economies added to jitters over the state of the world economy which had inflicted heavy losses on equities on Wednesday, including the worst one-day fall this year on Wall Street's Dow. "Every time investors find the strength to pick themselves up off the floor, the trade war delivers another blow and knocks them down again," said Craig Erlam at Oanda. "This morning that came in the form of reports that China is threatening retaliation against Trump's tariffs that are due to come into force on 1 September." 'HUGE SHAKE DOWN' The yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond slid Wednesday below the yield on the two-year note, an "inversion" that has been a reliable harbinger of recession for decades. "The slew of negative … [Read more...] about European stocks choppy as trade war fears take hold
Williams, pacers help Zimbabwe take 1-0 lead
AFGHANISTAN V ZIMBABWE IN UAE, 2021 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Williams' 105 gave Zimbabwe a decisive lead. © Getty Ibrahim Zadran ended up with 76. Afghanistan skittled out for a mere 135. The simple stat capsulises Afghanistan's below par performance with the bat and also Ibrahim's valiant hand on Day 2 of the first Test against Zimbabwe in Abu Dhabi. The pace trio of Blessing Muzarabani, Victor Nyauchi and Donald Tiripano picked eight of the 10 wickets to fall in the second innings, as Afghanistan crashed to 135 all out. Zimbabwe then chased down the meagre target of 17 without losing a wicket to go 1-0 up in the series. When the final session commenced, Afghanistan were in dire-straits at 49 for 6. At that stage, Ibrahim decided to take the aggressive route, essaying drives and punches off Nyauchi, Tiripano and Muzarabani. Abdul Wasi, who got a reprieve in the second session, then fell to Ryan Burl's … [Read more...] about Williams, pacers help Zimbabwe take 1-0 lead
European stock markets worry about Hong Kong protests as airport closes
LONDON: European stock markets dropped on Monday (Aug 12) as escalating protests in Hong Kong forced the closure of the financial hub's airport, adding geopolitical worries to ongoing trade war tensions. London, Frankfurt and Paris all closed lower after news of the shutdown spread, having reversed an early stronger trend. "Hong Kong has kind of been under the radar of most traders ... but increasingly I feel that this has the potential to spiral into a bigger market worry. Today's moves highlight the risks," said Neil Wilson, chief analyst at traders Markets.com. All flights in and out of Hong Kong were cancelled late Monday after thousands of protesters flooded into the city's airport to denounce police violence. The abrupt shutdown came as the Chinese government signalled its rising anger at the protesters, denouncing some of the violent demonstrations as "terrorism". Hong Kong's main shares index closed lower just as news of the shutdown emerged. Hong Kong airline … [Read more...] about European stock markets worry about Hong Kong protests as airport closes
Veteran lawyer suspended for mishandling S$138,000 of client’s money
SINGAPORE: A lawyer was given a year's suspension on Wednesday (Aug 7) for mishandling more than S$138,000 entrusted to him by a client. Mr Ooi Oon Tat of law firm Judy Cheng & Co (JCC) was handed the sanction by the Court of Three Judges after failing to make any written submissions for himself. According to court documents, he had taken over Mr Kuntjoro Wibawa as his client from another lawyer, and a sum of S$138,148 was to be transferred to him for handling his legal matters. However, instead of directing the money to be deposited into his client's account, he told Mr Kuntjoro to deposit the money into JCC's office account, which he did in February 2016. To date, Mr Kuntjoro has not received full restitution of the money, and has suffered losses of about S$105,000. A disciplinary tribunal found in October last year that Mr Ooi had breached Rule 3(1) of the Legal Profession (Solicitors' Accounts) Rules. He was supposed to put the money in his client's account without … [Read more...] about Veteran lawyer suspended for mishandling S$138,000 of client’s money
