Renault keeps Ghosn as CEO despite arrest in Japan

France's Renault says it has decided to keep its CEO Carlos Ghosn on despite his arrest in Japan on allegations that he misused assets of partner Nissan Motor Co. and misreported his income. Renault's board of directors announced late Tuesday that the No. 2 at the company, Chief Operating Officer Thierry Bollore, would temporarily fill in for Ghosn. "Mr. Ghosn, temporarily incapacitated, remains chairman and chief executive officer," a statement from Renault's board said. But while Ghosn deals with his legal issues in Japan, Bollore will have the same authority to run the company as the CEO, it added. Renault's board said its decision was made with an eye toward keeping the company on a steady course "to preserve the interests of the group and the continuity of its operations." Ghosn runs Renault, Nissan and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance that he helped turn into the world's biggest car-seller last year, and both France and Japan want to keep it intact. Renault's move to ...

China Stocks trade mixed

The lead from Wall Street is brutal as stocks showed another significant move to the downside on Tuesday, sending the tech-heavy NASDAQ to its lowest closing level in over seven months.

A continued decline by Apple (AAPL) also weighed on the markets. The Dow plunged 551.80 points or 2.21 percent to 24,465.64, while the NASDAQ shed 119.65 points or 1.70 percent to 6,908.82 and the S&P 500 fell 48.84 points or 1.82 percent to 2,641.89.

Energy firms track plunge in oil as Asian markets retreat

Asian markets sank again Wednesday, tracking a Wall Street rout, with energy companies suffering further losses following a collapse in oil prices. However, Nissan and Mitsubishi recovered slightly after France and Japan sought to reassure on the future of their tie-up with Renault following the arrest of head Carlos Ghosn on Monday. While investors in all sectors are essentially in selling mode, firms linked to the oil industry are among the worst hit as the price of crude continues to plunge on concerns about demand and high production. The commodity took another battering on Tuesday, with both main contracts down more than six per cent following another Wall Street sell-off and as traders fret that Saudi Arabia might not deliver on planned production cuts.
