Exxon Mobil Corp signaled in a regulatory filing that higher oil and gas prices and improved chemicals margins would aid fourth quarter results, but the gains would be overshadowed by an up to $20 billion asset writedown.

An off-key Liverpool were frustrated for a second successive game by struggling opponents as they were held to a 0-0 Premier League draw at Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were all guilty of poor finishing for the champions while Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow produced a couple of fine saves. Liverpool were held 1-1 by second-bottom West Bromwich Albion on Sunday and also drew…

The Swiss government on Wednesday decided against further restrictions to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, even as faster-spreading variants have entered the country. Switzerland began a “lockdown light” in mid-December when the government ordered restaurants and sports and recreation centres to be closed for a month and urged people to stay home. It shied away, however, from a nationwide shutdown of ski resorts or non-essential shops. “The Federal Council has conducted a detailed analysis of the current epidemiological situation. This remains worrying due to the high level of infection and the appearance of two new virus variants in…

Manchester United climbed two places up to second in the Premier League after Marcus Rashford scored deep into stoppage time to give them a fortuitous 1-0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.
