  • Sri Lanka sends 2 ministers to Russia for oil amid crisis

    COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka is sending two government ministers to Russia to negotiate for fuel — one of the necessities nearly exhausted as a result of the Indian Ocean nation's economic collapse. The plan comes as Washington and its allies aim to cut off energy imports from Russia in line with sanctions over its war against Ukraine.

    OTTAWA — Canada's banking regulator is tightening requirements for some types of real estate loansto protect homeowners who may be at greater risk from higher interest rates. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions says changes affect combined loan plans like reverse mortgages or loans with shared equity features, which have grown in popularity in recent years but may be riskier for lenders. For borrowers who owe more than 65 per cent of the loan value, a portion of their paym

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Apple Inc's bid to revive an effort to cancel two Qualcomm Inc smartphone patents despite the global settlement of the underlying dispute between the two tech giants. The justices turned away Apple's appeal of a lower court's ruling that the Cupertino, California-based company lacked standing to pursue the matter because of the settlement. Apple had argued that it should be allowed to appeal because San Diego-based Qualcomm could sue again after the settlement ends.

  • EXPLAINER: How a G-7 ban on Russian gold would work

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia appears to have defaulted on its foreign debt for the first time since the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, and the U.S. and its allies are taking aim at the former Soviet Union's second largest export industry after energy — gold. On Tuesday, the Group of Seven nations agreed on a ban on Russian gold imports in the latest round of sanctions over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. says Russia has used gold to support its currency as a way to circu

  • Airbnb makes ban on parties permanent

    Airbnb Inc said on Tuesday it will make permanent its ban on parties in homes listed on its platform after seeing a sharp drop in reports of unauthorized gatherings since the prohibition was put in place in August 2020. The company announced seeing a 44% year-after-year drop in the rate of party reports since implementing the policy. “This is an issue where I don’t know if I’d say there’s a finish line,” said Ben Breit, a spokesperson for the company, adding that Airbnb will keep working to address the issue.

  • Alberta ends 2021-22 with surprise C$3.9 billion surplus on higher oil prices

    Canada's oil-producing province of Alberta ended the 2021-22 fiscal year with a surprise surplus of C$3.9 billion ($3 billion), its first in seven years, helped by the economy reopening after the pandemic and a surge in energy prices, the government said on Tuesday. The province had initially projected a deficit of C$18.2 billion for the 2021/22 fiscal year, before significantly revising down the deficit forecast to C$3.2 billion in a scheduled third-quarter update on Feb. 24, the day Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. Alberta had based its budget last year on an average WTI price of $46 per barrel, but oil prices shot up with a post-pandemic surge in demand and rose further due to supply constraints after the Russian invasion.

  • Hyundai, Kia raided over suspected defeat devices in Germany, shares plunge

    BERLIN/SEOUL (Reuters) -German authorities have raided Hyundai and Kia over allegations that they put over 210,000 diesel vehicles with suspected illegal defeat devices onto the road, the Frankfurt state prosecutor's office said on Tuesday. The announcement sent shares of the two South Korean automakers down more than 6% on Wednesday, as investors fear it may lead to an expansion of the investigation and punitive damages. Defeat devices are mechanisms or software that can change vehicle emissions levels, leading to disputes over whether manufacturers use them to mask the true pollution levels of their vehicles.

    GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) — Leaders of the world’s biggest developed economies are weighing a cap on the price of Russian oil meant to strike at the main pillar of the Kremlin's finances following its invasion of Ukraine — and to limit the havoc that high energy prices are wreaking worldwide.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Big Four accounting firm Ernst & Young will pay $100 million to settle U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charges that its auditors cheated on certified public accounting (CPA) exams and that it misled the agency's investigators.

    The Canadian dollar strengthened for a third straight day against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday as the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in China bolstered investor sentiment. Global shares were higher and the price of oil, one of Canada's major exports, rose following China's decision to ease some quarantine requirements for international arrivals, a move that raised hopes for stronger growth and a revival in demand for commodities.

  • Sony accelerates PC gaming push with Inzone gear

    Sony Group Corp said on Wednesday it's launching a new line of headphones and monitors targeting the growing PC market for videogames as the Japanese conglomerate looks beyond its core PlayStation console gaming audience. Sony, whose PlayStation 5 console has been affected by supply chain snarls, last month announced a pivot towards releasing more titles on PC and mobile devices as subscription services and tech advances open up gaming to a wider audience. The Inzone line, developed by a unit outside Sony's main gaming business, aims to leverage Sony's audio and display technology, areas where Sony is seen as retaining an edge even as the company has transformed itself into an entertainment behemoth spanning movies, music and games.

  • Hong Kong regulator sharpening scrutiny of derivatives after Archegos saga

    Hong Kong's financial watchdog is tightening oversight on derivatives markets after the collapse of Archegos Capital Management, a senior official at the city's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) said on Tuesday. Archegos, a U.S.-based family office of investor Bill Hwang which had $36 billion in assets, blew up last year when it was caught short on highly leveraged trades and left global banks with $10 billion in losses. A majority of Hwang's exposure was built via a type of equity derivative traded over the counter, written by his bank counterparties, which helped him to circumvent rules requiring reporting positions to U.S. regulators.
