COMAC jets for Vietnam show China's push for international market

China's drive to break into foreign aviation markets with its homegrown COMAC jets has intensified, with a push to persuade Vietnam to authorise its planes in the country, according to two people with knowledge of the talks and documents.

Dollar drops, European stocks jump on Trump tariff delay

LONDON (Reuters) -The dollar fell broadly on Monday, while European stocks jumped, after an official for the incoming U.S. administration said President-elect Donald Trump would stop short of imposing tariffs at his inauguration, which takes place later in the day.
