Global stocks sank Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with talks that are aimed at averting a trade war with China. Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added.

Agriculture, ICT, greater than oil, says Rainoil boss, Ogbechie.

A major player in the downstream segment of Nigeria’s oil and gas sector and Managing Director of Rainoil Nigeria Limited, Engr. Gabriel Ogbechie, has made a strong case for massive investments in the agricultural sector of the nation’s economy by Nigerians, saying that there are huge returns in the sector. Noting that investing in agriculture, ICT, real estate and other potent non oil sector are the major ways to reignite and grow economies globally, Ogbechie, who spoke as a guest lecturer at the Rotary Club of Ikoyi Economic and Community Development Lecture held at the Westwood Hotel, Ikoyi, urged Nigerians to do more in the sector, which he sees as the next economic boom. Speaking on the topic, ‘Exploring Investment Opportunities in Nigeria’, the Rainoil boss, who is also a huge investor in agriculture, said, “with a population of about 193 million people, which accounts for about 2.53 per cent of the world population, Nigeria presents a very large market for food and ag

Tough for City to match Arsenal ‘Invincibles’, says De Bruyne.

Kevin De Bruyne says it will be “very hard” for Manchester City to match Arsenal’s “Invincibles” in going the entire Premier League season unbeaten despite their flying start. City have made the best-ever start to a Premier League season after 10 games, collecting 28 points with a goal difference of plus 29. Saturday’s 3-2 win at West Brom left them five points clear at the top of the table ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Napoli and the visit of Arsenal on Sunday. Pep Guardiola’s team boast a proud record of being the only unbeaten team in England’s top four divisions but De Bruyne said it was unlikely they would match the Arsenal team of 2003-2004, who did not lose a single match. “To go unbeaten? Well, it’s very hard. I don’t think it will be possible,” said the 26-year-old. “The level of competition is so high, in every team. It’s not like, with all respect, 10 or 15 years ago where you have a couple of teams that won’t win against the top teams.

Kane could face Real, says Spurs boss Pochettino.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful Harry Kane will be fit for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid after he missed the 1-0 defeat at Manchester United.

We must analyse and take the best decision for everyone. “We will assess him and then we will make the best decision. My feeling is good. But it’s not my feeling, it’s Harry Kane’s feeling.” The United match, in which substitute Anthony Martial netted the only goal in the 81st minute, was an unremarkable contest for much of the time, with the best work coming in defence. Pochettino was also asked afterwards if opposing teams we
