This is what traders are talking about.

Europe is back in deflation. Euro area inflation fell 0.2% in April, according to Eurostat's preliminary reading. The number was expected to fall by 0.1%, a drop from March's 0.0% print. While a large part of the decline can be attributed to the drop in oil prices, the core reading wasn't much better. Those prices showed disinflation, or a slowing of price gains, rising 0.8% compared with the previous look of 0.9%. Читать дальше...

The Islamic State may exult in online portrayals of jihadis sweeping victoriously across Iraqi battlefields, but a camera recovered from the helmet of a dead fighter offers a contrasting picture of chaos and panic in a battle with the Kurdish peshmerga.

A fighter named Abu Hajer is shown in footage seized by the peshmerga firing from one of three Islamic State armored cars advancing across a barren plain toward a Kurdish position. His rifle slips and he fires off a shot inside the vehicle. Читать дальше...

Delta Air Lines has placed an order for 37 Airbus A321ceo airliners.

This comes a day after the Atlanta-based company announced the purchase of 75 Bombardier CS100 airliners.

At list prices the 37 jets have a total value of $4.25 billion.

But with Airbus looking to fill out its production slots before the next-generation A321neo arrives, Delta is likely to have negotiated a substantial discount to the tune more than 50% off list price.

BEIJING — Allies of Chinese President Xi Jinping are moving against a Communist organization that is the power base of Premier Li Keqiang, in what analysts say may be a sign of faction-fighting at the top of the ruling party.

The Communist Youth League has long been a proving ground for young up-and-comers to demonstrate their political talent, particularly those who — unlike Xi — are not party "princelings" with the advantage of high-ranking parents.

It has produced some of the country's top leaders... Читать дальше...

BEIJING (Reuters) - China wants to put astronauts on the moon by 2036, a senior space official said, the latest goal in China's ambitious lunar exploration program.

China in 2003 became the third country to put a man in space with its own rocket after the former Soviet Union and the United States. It has touted its plans for moon exploration and in late 2013 completed the first lunar "soft landing" since 1976 with the Chang'e-3 craft and its Jade Rabbit rover.

However, quick-service restaurants (QSRs) — also known as fast-casual restaurants — have been turning to mobile order-ahead apps to extract higher sales, intensify customer loyalty, and heighten foot traffic.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI paid under $1 million for the technique used to unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters - a figure smaller than the $1.3 million the agency's chief initially indicated the hack cost, several U.S. government sources said on Thursday.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation will be able to use the technique to unlock other iPhone 5C models running iOS 9 - the specifications of the shooter's phone - without additional payment to the contractor who provided it, these people added. Читать дальше...

Amid the global threat of terrorism, the actual attacks that occur can vary widely. Terrorists aim at different targets in different locations, and tend to be either shooting or bombing or both. There is, however, a central point of connection linking all these events: the use of technology to coordinate and organize the incident.

Recent reporting suggests that terrorists used “burner” phones, prepaid disposable mobile phones, to coordinate their actions during last year’s Paris terror attacks. Читать дальше...

When Chris Wallace looks back on his most memorable moments during his tenure as host of "Fox News Sunday," he always comes back to one interaction.

In 2006, Wallace sat down with President Bill Clinton, in what was the president's first-ever interview on "Fox News Sunday."

The Fox anchor asked Clinton why he didn't do more to go after Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden. Clinton responded with a vigorous defense — an 11-minute-long tirade partially aimed at Wallace. Читать дальше...
