Later this month, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will pit the legendary Dark Knight against the Man of Steel.

Six weeks later, we'll be getting another superhero showdown in "Captain America: Civil War" this May.

February smashed a century of global temperature records by “stunning” margin, according to data released by Nasa.

The unprecedented leap led scientists, usually wary of highlighting a single month’s temperature, to label the new record a “shocker” and warn of a “climate emergency”.

The Nasa data shows the average global surface temperature in February was 1.35C warmer than the average temperature for the month between 1951-1980, a far bigger margin than ever seen before. Читать дальше...

By hedging against the volatility in prices, producers are limiting how far up oil prices can go, according to Morgan Stanley's Adam Longson.

In a note Monday, Longson and team write about how "rampant" hedging among oil producers will probably cap West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices at $49 per barrel.

In hedging, producers sell futures contracts at current oil prices... Читать дальше...

The shirt, pictured right, has been criticized by Cosmopolitan's Hannah Smothers for being "incredibly rapey."

However, some commenters on the women's websites are suggesting otherwise.

China is about to go to war with price.

The country just closed the annual session of its legislative body, and one economic concern loomed larger over the proceedings than any other: What to do with the country's growing pile of nonperforming loans (NPLs).

NPLs on Chinese bank balance sheets now total about $200 billion.

Out of that session, two plans surfaced — one through the media and one through the government itself.

Neither (even combined) will be enough to deal with the problem entirely... Читать дальше...
