Description
Big bank earnings and a mega merger in the auto sector set the tone. Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse more than doubles net profit in the third quarter thanks to strength in its wealth management business. But German rival Deutsche Bank suffers a different fate as restructuring costs weigh on results, leading the lender to post a steeper than expected loss in Q3. Emerging markets focused bank Standard Chartered sees shares rise after it beats estimates with a 16 percent jump in third quarter profit. We speak to the CFO about the growing headwinds due to geopolitical tensions. In the autos sector, Italian-U.S Fiat Chrysler and French rival PSA are reportedly in talks to merge in a deal that would create a near 50 billion dollar car giant. And in the U.K., lawmakers back PM Johnson's call for a December 12th general election, in an effort to break the Brexit impasse.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
