In the weeks that followed, Fisker stopped paying the engineering firm that helped develop those vehicles, according to a previously unreported lawsuit filed in federal court this week.

HSBC has no plans to dispose of further businesses, Chairman says
LONDON (Reuters) -HSBC has no current plans to sell more assets, its chairman Mark Tucker said on Friday at the annual shareholder meeting of the bank, which has scaled back its presence in Western markets in recent years as part of a sweeping overhaul. HSBC shareholders met in London days after the bank's CEO Noel Quinn announced his surprise retirement following a five-year tenure which saw HSBC sell retail banking operations in France and the U.S., and its entire Canadian unit, as it pivots towards Asia. The chairman's comments hint at a likely shift in direction for whomever succeeds Quinn, as the bank turns its focus away from shrinking its global empire to trying to grow its business in its remaining markets.

Shell smashes forecasts with $7.7 billion quarterly profit
LONDON (Reuters) -Shell reported first-quarter profit of $7.7 billion on Thursday, exceeding expectations as disruption to Red Sea shipping and Russian refining boosted oil trading and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production rose. Shell's cashflow rose by 6% from the previous quarter to $13.3 billion, reflecting strong operational performance, particularly in the LNG division, which together with trading helped offset a decline in natural gas prices that weighed on earnings of rivals including Exxon Mobil and Chevron last week. "Shell delivered another quarter of strong operational and financial performance, demonstrating our continued focus on delivering more value with less emissions," CEO Wael Sawan said.

US employers scaled back hiring in April. How that could let the Fed cut interest rates
The nation’s employers pulled back on their hiring in April but still added a decent 175,000 jobs in a sign that persistently high interest rates may be starting to slow the robust U.S. job market. Friday’s government report showed that last month’s hiring gain was down sharply from the blockbuster increase of 315,000 in March. The Fed has been delaying any consideration of interest rate cuts until it gains more confidence that inflation is steadily slowing toward its 2% target.
