• BondCliq, a startup launched by former Goldman Sachs executive Chris White, has won backing from former Goldman and BlackRock execs. 
• The startup is aiming to become "the first central market system for the corporate bond market."

Don Devine, a bond trading luminary who started his career at Goldman Sachs in the early 1980s, was in need of a gut check. He was weighing up an investment in a new bond market startup, but he'd left his last senior role on Wall Street almost a decade ago. Читать дальше...

On Sunday, voters will go to the polls in the state of Mexico to pick their next governor, casting ballots in what many see as a preface to the presidential election next year — and deciding whether the long-dominant party is on the outside looking in.

While there are six candidates in the running, the race has mostly narrowed to two: Alfredo del Mazo of the governing centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party and Delfina Gomez of the upstart leftist National Regeneration Movement... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump will hit the road next week to ramp up his long-promised plan to overhaul the nation's aging airports, roads and railways, a push that could energize his supporters and distract from political intrigue in Washington.

The infrastructure push - which will include a trip to Cincinnati, Ohio - comes as the White House seeks to refocus attention on core promises to boost jobs and the economy made by Trump last year during his campaign for office. Читать дальше...

You know how people associate sleeping in with laziness? I used to have a terrible habit of not going to bed until the early hours of morning.

Whether I was up all night doing work, surfing the net or reading articles, it always felt like there weren't enough hours in the day.

Besides, I seemed to feel more awake at 2:00 am than at 9:00 am. While most people had their lights out, there I was, wide awake at my computer.

US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told CNN's Jake Tapper that President Donald Trump believes "the climate is changing" during an interview that will air on Sunday. 

Tapper initially asked Haley to confirm whether or not Trump still believed his famous 2013 claim that global warming was a hoax "invented by and for the Chinese" in order to hurt US manufacturing.

"What I will tell you is the regulations from the Paris Agreement were [a disadvantage to] our companies. Читать дальше...

There were a lot of big movie stars making the rounds at the Cannes Film Festival, but none loomed larger than Al Gore. Attending a posh dinner for the festival’s 70th anniversary, he hobnobbed with a crowd of A-listers while receiving well-wishes from distributors and filmmakers alike. “The Beguiled” director Sofia Coppola paid her respects, as did Sony Pictures Classics co-president Michael Barker and Los Angeles Times critic Justin Chang.

There's renewed demand for oil workers who left the industry or were laid off during the most recent price crash.

Hiring in oil and gas extraction increased for three straight months through April, the longest stretch since April to July in 2014, which was right around when oil prices peaked.

But as companies revamp production — having adjusted to a world in which oil doesn't cost close to $100 a barrel — sustaining this pace will not be cheap.

When my 26-year-old husband passed away unexpectedly, work was the last thing on my mind.

Those early days after my loss are a complete blur, but I think my sister contacted my human resources office to inform them I wouldn't be back in the office for a while.

I was working as a psychotherapist. So on the upside, my co-workers were familiar with helping people cope with grief and loss.

On the flipside, I had patients waiting to see me because they were struggling with problems of their own. Читать дальше...

The House Intelligence Committee, under the leadership of Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, made at least 5-6 unmasking requests to US spy agencies related to Russia's election meddling between June 2016-January 2017, the Washington Post reported on Friday.

Nunes, who would have had to sign off on any committee requests to reveal the identities of US persons mentioned in intelligence reports, called unmaskings "violations of Americans' civil liberties" in a tweet last week. Читать дальше...

• Wall Street regulators decided four years ago to try and dampen leveraged lending by big banks.
• According to a staff report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, big banks did cut back their leveraged lending, and nonbank lenders stepped in.
• The problem: the nonbanks were funded by the big banks, meaning the risks remained. 

A bunch of US regulators decided in 2013 that the leveraged-lending market was overheating, and that it needed to be curtailed. Читать дальше...

President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn the US from the Paris Climate Accord.

Despite opposition to this move from some within his administration, most notably Secretary of State and former CEO of ExxonMobil Corporation Rex Tillerson, Trump was dead-set on living up to a campaign promise to exit the landmark climate agreement. 

There are bound to be winners and losers from the move. While there are obvious implications for global efforts to combat climate change... Читать дальше...

• Agios Pharmaceuticals, a company that got its start less than a decade ago, already has one drug in front of the FDA. 
• The company makes drugs that essentially try to repair cancer cells so they can grow old. 
• If the drug's approved, it could be the first to target the metabolism of cancer cells, a relatively new area of research.

The idea is a simple one: Starve out cancer cells. 

But finding the right way to do that isn't nearly as simple. Читать дальше...

The Trump administration has been hyping up a "Pittsburgh, not Paris" rally currently being held at a park across from the White House — but it looks like Trump isn't in attendance.

According to a pool report, the president's motorcade pulled up at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia on Saturday morning. It's unclear whether the president is playing golf, and the press pool said it would file another report when it gets more information about the president's activities. Читать дальше...

The Trump administration has announced the US will withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change.

Should we expect any substantive effect on global climate efforts or changes to other US climate policies?

Some suggest there will be additional emissions of up to three billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in the air a year. Others point to higher US emissions due to potentially diluted auto fuel efficiency standards and changes to rules to restrict methane leaks from the oil and gas industry.
