Bank shares slide on report of rampant money laundering

سپتامبر 22, 2020 Posted in استار ادوریستر, | 0 comments

The financial sector was hit hard today following a report alleging that a number of banks — JPMorgan, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Deutsche Bank and Bank of New York Mellon among them — have continued to profit from illicit dealings with disreputable people and criminal networks despite previous warnings from regulators.

According to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, leaked government documents show that the banks continued moving illicit funds even after being warned of potential criminal prosecutions. The documents were obtained by BuzzFeed News and shared with the ICIJ.

The report compounded a massive sell-off across global markets because of gloom and doom over COVID-19 infections and the economic damage from the pandemic.

The consortium reported that d...

NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER

The 5-day forecast track for Tropical Storm Lowell in the Eastern Pacific.

A tropical storm has formed this morning about 2,400 miles east-southeast of Hilo on Hawaii island and about 450 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja, Calif., according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Lowell has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and is moving west-northwest at 16 mph.

The movement is expected to continue through Wednesday, followed by a turn toward the west on Wednesday night.

National Weather Service officials said models show Lowell will remain a tropical storm for the next five days, and that they are keeping an eye on it, but that it’s too soon to tell if there will be any impacts to the Hawaiian isles.

Soaring wealth during pandemic highlights rising inequality

سپتامبر 21, 2020 Posted in استار ادوریستر, | 0 comments

WASHINGTON >> Americans’ household wealth rebounded last quarter to a record high as the stock market quickly recovered from a pandemic-induced plunge in March. Yet the gains flowed mainly to the most affluent households even as tens of millions of people endured job losses and shrunken incomes.

The Federal Reserve said today that American households’ net worth jumped nearly 7% in the April-June quarter to $119 trillion. That figure had sunk to $111.3 trillion in the first quarter, when the coronavirus battered the economy and sent stock prices tumbling.

Since then, the S&P 500 stock index has regained its record high before losing some ground this month. It was up 2.8% for this year as of Friday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq has soared more than 20% this year.

NEW YORK >> Ellen DeGeneres used her opening monologue of the new season of her daytime talk show to address allegations of a toxic work environment, apologizing for things “that never should have happened.”

“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” started its 18th season in Los Angeles with the host on stage for the first time in months after taping from DeGeneres’s home during quarantine. There wasn’t a studio audience but a virtual one, with faces beamed in on monitors put in the audience seats.

“We have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks about the show, our workplace, and ...

WASHINGTON >> President Donald Trump said today he expects to announce his pick for the Supreme Court on Friday or Saturday, after funeral services for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and just days before the first presidential election debate.

Founder of GM electric truck partner quits amid allegations

سپتامبر 21, 2020 Posted in استار ادوریستر, | 0 comments

FRANKFURT, Germany >> Shares in electric- and hydrogen-powered truck startup Nikola plunged on Monday after the company’s founder resigned amid allegations of fraud – just two weeks after signing a $2 billion partnership with General Motors.

The company said late Sunday that Trevor Milton resigned and the departing executive chairman said he would defend himself against accusations that the company made false claims about its vehicles, allegations that Nikola rejects.

Milton said in a message to Nikola employees that he was stepping aside because “the focus should be on the company and its world-changing mission, not me.”

Shares in the company based in Phoenix, Arizona, were off 30% in premarket trading. A report from Hindenburg Research from Sept...

Participants will be placed on either a placebo (sugar pill) or telmisartan.

“Finding an effective therapy for COVID-19 is very important. In fact, it may be more important or as important as finding a vaccine...
