| News: What you need to know about the markets | | | | | | | Xiaomi prices its IPO; Deutsche stress; Novartis unloads Alcon | | By Ivana Kottasová | | | | 1. Xiaomi price: Xiaomi, a smartphone maker that has rocketed to success in China and India, has reportedly priced its Hong Kong IPO. | | | | The tech company priced nearly 2.2 billion shares at the low end of its target range of 17 to 22 Hong Kong dollars ($2.17 to $2.80), according to media reports. | | | | The Beijing-based electronics firm is known for its affordable iPhone alternatives and internet-enabled rice cookers. | | | | Investors may be worried about the company's growth potential and its margins. | | | | 2. Another blow for Deutsche: Deutsche Bank was the only major financial institution to fail annual stress tests carried out by the US Federal Reserve. | | | | The central bank objected to the capital plan of the German bank's US subsidiary, citing "widespread and critical deficiencies across the firm's capital planning practices." | | | | Although the stress test showed the bank's US arm would survive a recession, it also found "material weaknesses," including over its data capabilities and controls, how it forecasts losses under stress and risk management functions such as internal audit. | | | | In a statement, the bank said its US subsidiary has made "significant investments" to improve its capital planning, controls and infrastructure. | | | | It's the latest in a series of setbacks for Deutsche, which has been losing money for years, lagging its global peers and struggling to find direction following the global financial crisis. | | | | Shares in Germany's largest lender opened 1.7% higher on Friday. | | | | 3. Novartis spin: Novartis has announced plans to spin off its eye care devices business Alcon. The pharmaceutical giant said the move would allow it to focus more on its core business. | | | | Novartis bought Alcon from Nestle in 2011, in a deal that valued the company at over $50 billion. | | | | Shares in Novartis jumped 3% in Zurich. The company also announced a plan to buy back shares worth $5 billion by the end of 2019. | | | | 4. Half time: The second quarter wraps up on Friday. | | | | It's been a mixed year so far for US stocks: The Nasdaq has gained nearly 10% in 2018, while the S&P 500 has added almost 2%. The Dow has dropped 2%. | | | | Fears over a global trade war have stoked volatility. The Dow plunged 1,000 points twice during the quarter. | | | | 5. Global market overview: US stock futures were pointing higher. | | | | European markets opened higher after EU leaders struck a deal on migration. Asian stocks also gained. | | | | The Dow added 0.4% on Thursday. The S&P 500 gained 0.6% and the Nasdaq increased 0.8%. | | | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news. In your inbox.
