Stocks in China Slide; U.S. Equity Futures Advance: Markets Wrap - Yahoo Finance
(Bloomberg) -- U.S. equity futures rose and European stocks fluctuated following steep losses at the end of last week and as investors digested the latest developments in the coronavirus outbreak. Shares plunged in China as markets there reopened after a long holiday.
Contracts on the three main American equity indexes all advanced in the wake of Friday’s declines. Gains in technology and travel shares offset losses for miners in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, as support measures from China’s government helped stem losses in other markets. Stocks in Shanghai fell almost 8% and fluctuated in Hong Kong. The deadly outbreak, largely centered in China, showed no signs of slowing with the nation’s death toll exceeding 360.
The dollar strengthened, while Treasuries slipped. Oil was little changed, and the offshore yuan weakened to more than 7 per dollar. Copper futures drifted in London trading following 13 sessions of declines.
Investors shifted gears on Monday on the back of turmoil that sent global equities to the worst week since August amid concern economies will falter as the virus spreads. The People’s Bank of China cut rates as it injected cash into the financial system on Monday, part of a slew of measures to shore up their financial markets.
Elsewhere, the pound slid as investors reacted to a report that U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson could walk away from talks over Britain’s future trade relationship with the European Union. Indian bonds surged after the government refrained from announcing higher debt sales in Saturday’s budget and amid plans to allow foreign investors greater access to government securities.
Here are some key events coming up:
The first contest to choose a Democratic nominee to run against Donald Trump in November is the Iowa caucuses Monday.The U.S. manufacturing gauge from the Institute for Supply Management is due Monday. There are also a slew of other PMIs, including India and Brazil.Tuesday brings a policy decision from the Reserve Bank of Australia, and the Reserve Bank of India’s interest rate decision is due Thursday.Friday has the U.S. employment report for January.

Stocks in China Slide; U.S. Equity Futures Advance: Markets Wrap - Yahoo Finance
(Bloomberg) -- U.S. equity futures power higher and European stocks were steady as investors took in stride a sell-off in Asia, where Chinese shares plunged as markets there reopened amid the worsening coronavirus outbreak. Treasuries and gold declined.
Contracts on the three main American equity indexes all advanced in the wake of Friday’s drop. Gains in technology and travel shares offset declines for miners in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, as support measures from China’s government helped stem losses in other markets. Stocks in Shanghai fell almost 8%, while local iron ore futures slumped. Equities came off their lows in Tokyo, Seoul and Sydney and fluctuated in Hong Kong.
Oil was little changed, and the offshore yuan weakened to more than 7 per dollar. Copper futures drifted in London trading after dropping for 13 sessions. The deadly outbreak showed no signs of slowing with China’s death toll reaching at least 360.

Former WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers dies at 78 - Fox Business

A federal judge has ordered convicted ex-WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers to be released from prison early due to health concerns.
Bernie Ebbers, the disgraced former CEO of Worldcom has died at the age of 78, according to a family attorney.

Ebbers was the brains behind one of America’s biggest accounting frauds.
He received an early release from his 25-year prison sentence in Dcember, because family members said he was suffering from dementia and was legally blind.

Ebbers served 13 years of his sentence.
Worldcom was a veritable household name in 2001 as one of the world's largest telecommunication companies. A popular portfolio stock, Worldcom made moves to falsely inflate its earnings on its profit and loss statement by nearly $4 billion.
BERNIE EBBERS, BRAINS BEHIND HISTORIC FRAUD SCHEME, TO BE FREED FROM PRISON
Under Ebbers, the company spread out expenses in smaller amounts over several years instead of reporting them immediately to investors. As a result, in 2001, the company reported a mind-boggling $1.4 billion profit. Had the operating costs been correctly reported, Worldcom would have lost money for fiscal 2001 as well as first-quarter 2002.
Ebbers had been serving his time in a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas.

Report says creepy exec made life hellish for Victoria's Secret 'Angels' - Page Six

It was hell out there for those “Angels.”
Victoria’s Secret models were constantly hounded by a creepy executive who made unwanted sexual advances and even once told supermodel Bella Hadid she had “perfect titties,” according to a New York Times investigation.
The executive, Ed Razek, 71, stepped down from its parent company, L Brands, in August — but not before fostering an “entrenched culture of misogyny, bullying and harassment” at the lingerie company, the paper found.
One model, Andi Muise, told the paper Razek had harassed her for months with intimate emails, once writing her, “I need someplace sexy to take you!”
Razek would watch Hadid and other models prepare for fashion shows and remark out loud on their appearance, the report said.
The executive denied the allegations to the Times, insisting they are “categorically untrue, misconstrued or taken out of context.”
