Cox owns Manheim, the biggest U.S. auction house selling millions of vehicles every year....

Posted by admin

in News

By Paul Carrel BERLIN (Reuters) - The manifestos presented by the parties vying to form Germany's next government set out very different visions for the future of the country, and Europe, after September's federal election. At stake is the direction that Germany, Europe's largest economy, will take after Angela Merkel's departure as chancellor. In power since 2005, she plans to stand down after the Sept. 26 election. The conservatives promise voters "stability and renewal" in their manifesto. Their main rivals are the ecologist Greens, followed by the left-leaning Social Democrats (SPD) and the business-friendly Free Democrats...

in News

By Makiko Yamazaki TOKYO (Reuters) - The investigators who revealed Toshiba Corp colluded with Japan's trade ministry to pressure foreign shareholders defended the integrity of their inquiry, pushing back against government criticism it was one-sided.

"We, as investigators, would argue against claims that question the reliability of the report," Nakamura,...

Posted by admin

in News

LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's Court of Appeal confirmed on Thursday that riders for food delivery firm Deliveroo were self-employed, dismissing a union appeal against past judgments on their status.

BoE sees inflation breaking 3% but won’t rush to unwind stimulus By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

LONDON (Reuters) -The Bank of England said inflation would peak above 3% as Britain's locked-down economy reopens, but the rise further beyond its 2% target would only be "temporary" and most policymakers favoured keeping stimulus at full throttle. Sterling fell as the BoE's nine monetary policymakers voted 8-1 once again to keep their government bond-buying programme at 875 billion pounds ($1.22 trillion). Some investors had bet that more objectors would appear, signalling the central bank was speeding up its thinking about unwinding the huge stimulus that has helped steer the world's fifth-biggest economy through the...
