(Bloomberg) — OPEC+ gathers on Saturday to ratify a deal for at least an extra month of record production cuts that U.S. President Donald Trump said saved the American oil industry.After a week of cajoling by Saudi Arabia and Russia, the cartel’s members were ready to prolong almost 10 million barrels a day of output curbs to the end of July, instead of easing them as previously planned.The imminent extension, coupled with a surprisingly good U.S. jobs report, sent crude 5% higher to $42 a barrel on Friday afternoon in London, more than double the price in April.That’s eased pressure …read more […]

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners is in preliminary talks to acquire J.C. Penney Co Inc out of bankruptcy should the U.S. department store chain’s negotiations with its creditors fail, three people familiar with the matter said on Friday. J.C. Penney, which employs roughly 85,000 people, filed for bankruptcy protection in May after the coronavirus pandemic forced it to temporarily close its more than 800 stores across the United States, compounding financial woes that stemmed from years of dwindling sales. Sycamore is weighing acquiring J.C. Penney outright or making an investment in the troubled retailer, the sources said. …read more […]

Chipmaker Micron (MU) is banking on the upcoming 5G trend. As 5G networks ramp up around the globe, the semi-conductor player is expected to provide many of the components needed to achieve 5G’s promise; faster data processing, lower latency and expanded storage capacity.However, the catalyst hasn’t borne fruit yet.

But a recent pre-earnings announcement that sales for the quarter (FQ3) were stronger than expected along with the company anticipating …read more […]

The Trump administration picked out five companies it believes are most likely to produce 2020’s holy grail – a vaccine for the coronavirus. Unfortunately, Novavax (NVAX) was not on the list.Although the White House didn’t disclose what lay behind the choices, 5-star B.Riley FBR analyst Mayank Mamtani provided some possible explanations.3 of the choices already have clinical studies in various degrees of progress (Moderna, AstraZeneca/Oxford University and Pfizer/BioNTech), whilst Novavax only began enrollment late last month. This implies to Mamtani that “speed to market entry” could be a major factor in the decision-making process.Whilst “risk diversification and cost sharing,” and …read more […]

Remaining afloat has become more than just a scientific feat for the beleaguered cruise industry. It has, figuratively, been the first port of call for cruise line operators during the pandemic. The global grounding of the entire industry has raised questions whether cruise lines can make it through the COVID-19 storm.For Tigress Financial’s Ivan Feinseth, one company to certainly sail through to the other side will be Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH).
