#USA - Gains in Brent Crude Send Prices Above key $50 a Barrel : TheStreet

Published on 26 May 2016
 TheStreet
Brent crude tops $50 a barrel for the first time since November. The gains came after bullish inventory data released by the U.S. Department of Energy showed a 4.2 million barrel reduction in oil stocks. Analysts polled by the Wall Street Journal had expected a decrease of 2.5 million barrels. Takata hired investment bankers to seek a cash infusion and negotiate with automakers over the ballooning costs it faces for rupture-prone airbags. The problem airbags have been linked to 11 deaths and 100 injuries worldwide. The Wall Street Journal says the company hopes to find a financial investor or automotive company to provide more cash, and reach a deal with car makers on sharing the costs of the recall. Costco

#Ukraine - Treating Ukrainian Veterans' PTSD With Service Dogs: Лікування ПТСР українських ветеранів з Послугами Собаки: VICE News

Published on 24 May 2016
Ukraine was in many ways unprepared for the war against the Russian-backed separatists of the DNR in the country’s east. Its army, after years of mismanagement and corruption, was left with just 6,000 combat-ready troops, and its hospitals had never had to deal with the kinds of horrific injuries sustained by both soldiers and civilians.

The embattled country was even less prepared to deal with the psychological aftermath of the conflict; Ukraine had not been at war since the '80s, when PTSD was only just beginning to be recognized as a disorder.

With state care for people suffering with psychological trauma severely lacking, it has been left to a number of different NGOs to fill in the gaps in treatment. Hero's Companion, a Canadian organization, trains service dogs to help Ukrainian veterans with their war trauma.

WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast - May 26, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 26 May 2016
The WTI Crude Oil market initially fell during the day on Wednesday, but you can see turned right back around during the US session to show bullishness as we ended up forming a hammer at the top of this move higher. We are sitting just below the vital $50 level, which of course can find quite a bit of psychological resistance. The fact that we did up forming a hammer though tells me that the buyers are becoming more and more aggressive, and as a result we should break above there given enough time.

#TheStreet: This Is How Rallies Start Says Cramer

Published on 25 May 2016
The banks and techs are bouncing back and that bodes well for the bulls, said TheStreet's (TST) Jim Cramer. He said the market is being spurred by a rally in the banks and it is taking other groups like healthcare and biotech along for the ride. Cramer said the move in the banks really came out of nowhere, especially considering Wells Fargo's less than inspiring presentation yesterday. In Cramer's view 'these are how real rallies start - on nothing - and then we find out why.'

#Italy - Florence's Arno river embankment Collapses: TOP BREAKING NEWS

Published on 25 May 2016
A section of the embankment of the River Arno in central Florence collapsed on Wednesday morning, sending part of the road and at least 20 parked cars into a newly formed ditch.

The collapse took place very close to the famous Ponte Vecchio, a medieval covered bridge over the Arno.
The collapsed segment is about 200m (650ft) in length and 7m (23ft) across.

Firefighters believe the chasm has been created by the failure of a large water pipe beneath the surface.Florence's Mayor Dario Nardella tweeted (in Italian) that no-one had been harmed in the incident on Lungarno Torrigiani.

He appealed to motorists to remove their cars from the nearby area, and said the water supply to part of the city centre was cut off.

Taiwan's Economic Daily Newspaper Suggests Strong iPhone 7 Sales: TheStreet

According to a report in Taiwan's Economic Daily newspaper Apple has tapped its iPhone suppliers to be ready to supply up to 78 million units by the end of 2016 - well above the 65 million iPhone 7s analysts are forecasting. Pay attention to the chatter TheStreet's Action Alerts PLUS Portfolio Manager Jim Cramer says. 'This paper has proven to be very accurate in the past when iPhone sales would drop.' This is why you're seeing really good action in NXP Semiconductors , an Action Alerts name, Broadcom and Skyworks . Cramer doesn't expect a good quarter from Apple which means if you're in the stock for 'hot money' you'll be wrong, but he likes the longer term.

#Afghanistan’ - "New Taliban leader facing challenges of getting support"

Published on 25 May 2016
Afghanistan’s Taliban militants have confirmed the death of their former leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour, naming his successor.

The Taliban announced in a statement that Mansour was killed in a US drone strike in southern Pakistan. One of Mansour’s deputies, Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, has been appointed as the militant group’s new leader. On Saturday, the United States reported that it had killed the former Taliban chief in Pakistan’s Balochistan province. The attack prompted an angry reaction from Islamabad. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the raid was in violation of Pakistan's sovereignty. The Taliban militant group has been fighting against the Afghan government for many years. The fighting between the two sides has killed and displaced thousands of Afghans.

Our correspondent in Kabul Fayez Khorshid updates us on the latest developments regarding the Taliban.
