Merger talks of Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank fails

By 920 0

Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank have abandoned the merger talks. They said that the deal could not be approved since it appeared to be too risky. The banks unanimously said that the deal would not have generated “sufficient benefits” to offset the costs of the deal.

Two biggest listed lenders of Germany had said there were too many problems to justify pursuing a complex deal that would have formed the Euro-zone’s second-largest lender with €1.8tn in assets and 140,000 employees.

The formal merger talks between the banks started last month only. The government of Germany had been supporting the tie-ups. Olaf Sholz, the Finance Minister wanted a national champion in the banking industry, says media reports.

15.5% of stake is still owned by the government in Commerzbank, acquired after the bank was bailed out following the financial crisis.

The shares of Deutsche Bank fell by 1.5% to €7.48 each. The Commerzbank shares dropped 2.5% to €7.60.

If united, these banks would have controlled one fifth of Germany’s High Street banking business with €1.8 trillion ($2tn; £1.6tn) of assets, such as loans and investments.

Facebook beats Q1 2019 profit estimates, sets aside $3 billion for privacy penalty

By 919 0

On Wednesday, Facebook Inc blew past Wall Street profit estimates in the first quarter and set aside $3 billion to cover a settlement with the US regulators calming investors who had worried about the outcome of a months-long federal probe, reports Reuters.

In after-hours trade, shares of Facebook jumped more than 10 percent to $200.50 . A large part of the ground lost last year was regained by Facebook. They had set the settlement accrual at $3 billion but said could rise as high as $5 billion. This had cut the company’s net income in the first quarter to $2.43 billion, or 85 cents per share.

According to IBES data from Refinitiv, if the charges are excluded, Facebook would have earned $1.89 a share, up from $1.69 in the year-ago quarter and easily beating analysts’ average estimate of $1.63 per share.

The senior analyst at financial markets platform Investing.com, Haris Anwar said, “This is a strong report suggesting that advertisers still see value in Facebook’s platform, as they did before the controversies and scandals erupted”.

By 905 0

The bloc’s chief executive said on Saturday that there is a still a concern that Britain may leave the European Union without a deal to smooth the way. He urged Britain to take advantage of a six-month delay to work out the details of its departure.

A week after EU leaders gave Britain six months more to exit the EU, Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission President had said this to the German newspaper FUNKE Mediengruppe.

Juncker mentioning the long-term negative impact on Europe’s economy said, “Nobody knows how Brexit will end. This is creating great uncertainty. There is still a fear that there will be a hard Brexit without any withdrawal treaty arrangements”.

The EU extension helps in giving a clarity on when, how or even if Brexit will happen. But, the time should be wisely used by Britain, said Juncker.

By 838 0

A couple have been strangely rescued from a marsh in northern Australia. The rescue team could find them using the writing “help” in the mud to attract attention. The couple got stuck in a crocodile-ridden part of Australia’s remote northern part.

Colen Nulgit and his partner Shantelle Johnson were having a fishing trip in Keep River National Park, Northern Territory when their car became stuck down in mud.

Nulgit said to the media, “We were stuck on the marshland and we were right next to saltwater”. Nulgit said that they had seen crocodile tracks in the area and, as the waters rose, they became afraid of being swept away by a large tide, or being attacked by crocodiles or dingos. “These crocodiles that we get here, they’re not afraid of humans, they’re not afraid of anything”, said Nulgit.

A search team had rescued them after a long and miserable fight of about 26 hours.

Borce Ristevski (55) is sentenced to jail for nine years for killing his wife Karen Ristevski (27). The murder occurred at the couple’s home in Melbourne’s north-west, on the morning of June 29, 2016.

Ristevski never explained how he killed his wife despite pleading guilty to manslaughter last month. It has been reported that, after killing his wife, Ristevski put her body in the boot of his car and went to Mount Macedon. He hid the body in a nature reserve under logs, branches and foliage.

Ristevski said to the police that he had an argument with his wife about money and later on she went for a walk on the day she went missing. The Police identified Borce Ristevski as a suspect early on.

At the time of sentencing, Justice Christopher Beale condemned Ristevski for playing “the part of the innocent grieving widower”. He told to the Supreme Court of Victoria, “The pretence, the rank deceit only ended a few weeks ago when you pleaded guilty to manslaughter”.
