Loading...1. Donald Trump threatens Europe with a trade war
President Donald Trump has opened a new front in the US trade war with the rest of the world.
The administration threatens $ 11 billion in tariffs on European Union imports to offset alleged damage to Boeing (NYSE: BA) from what the United States sees as unfair subsidies for its rival Airbus (PA: AIR).
This move is the latest development in the dispute over subsidies from the two aircraft manufacturers and this dispute began 14 years ago.
2. US Futures with "Flat opening"
US stock markets are set for a slightly lower opening in response to discouraging news about further trade conflicts.
At 13:00 (GMT +3), the S & P 500 futures fell 2.4 points or 0.1 percent and the Dow futures contract was unchanged, while the Nasdaq 100 technology contract fell by 7.9 points or 0.1 percent.
3. Alcon is back
Eye care giant Alcon returns to public markets under his name today, 11 years after being bought by the Swiss giant Novartis.
The company's acquisition of $ 50 billion is known to have been purchased just months before Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Novartis is listed on the New York and Zurich exchanges with a market value of only half of that amount.
