Oil markets seen bearish after Trump-Putin Alaska meeting
LONDON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Oil markets are set for a muted price reaction when they open on Sunday after U.S. President Donald Trump's and Russian leader Vladimir Putin's meeting in Alaska, at which Trump said a fully-fledged peace deal was the aim for Ukraine rather than a ceasefire. Trump said he had agreed with Putin that negotiators should go straight to a peace settlement - not via a ceasefire, as Ukraine and European allies, until now with U.S. support, have been demanding. Trump said he would hold off imposing tariffs on countries such as China for buying Russian oil following his talks with Putin. He has previously threatened sanctions on Moscow and secondary sanctions on countries such as China and India that buy Russian oil if no moves are made to end the Ukraine war. "This will mean Russian oil will continue to flow undisturbed and this should be bearish for oil prices," said ICIS analyst Ajay Parmar. "It is worth noting that we think the impact of this will be minimal though and prices will likely see only a small dip in the very near term as a result of this news." The oil market will wait for developments from a meeting in Washington on Monday between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. European leaders have also been invited to the meeting, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. "Market participants will track comments from European leaders but for now Russian supply disruption risks will remain contained," said Giovanni Staunovo, analyst at UBS. Brent settled at $65.85 a barrel on Friday, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate at $62.80 - both down nearly $1 before the talks in Alaska. Traders are waiting for a deal, so until that emerges, crude prices are likely to be stuck in a narrow range, said Phil Flynn, a senior analyst with Price Futures Group. "What we do know is that the threat of immediate sanctions on Russia, or secondary sanctions on other countries is put on hold for now, which would be bearish," he said. After the imposition of Western sanctions, including a seaborne oil embargo and price caps on Russian oil, Russia has redirected flows to China and India.

What to know as Air Canada flights grounded and attendants go on strike
As Air Canada's flight attendants began their strike Saturday, the airline said it has "suspended all operations" while the labour dispute attendants gave a 72-hour strike notice earlier this week, after contract talks reached an impasse. Their union said the company was not addressing key issues such as wages and unpaid work, and the strike took effect shortly after midnight on afterwards, the carrier began delaying and cancelling some flights. On Friday, it expected to scrap 500 flights, affecting 100,000 passengers. With the strike in effect, the airline announced it would halt flights on its Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge travellers are scrambling as Canada's largest airline shuts down during the height of summer season, and the government is pleading with both sides to come to an agreement. Here's what to know. Why is Air Canada cancelling flights? The airline, which operates in 64 countries and has a fleet of 259 aircraft, warned that a "complete cessation of flying" would begin on Saturday, if the labour issues aren't resolved. Air Canada Express flights, which carry about 20% of Air Canada's daily customers, will not be affected. Still, a shutdown could affect 130,000 daily customers, including 25,000 Canadians. Upon receiving the strike notice, Air Canada issued its own 72-hour lock-out notice and began winding down operations, delaying and cancelling flights over those three Operations Officer Mark Nasr explained the airline's system was complex and not something "we can start or stop at the push of a button". What led to the strike? The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing 10,000 Air Canada attendants, has asserted that it bargained in good faith with the airline for more than eight months. The airline said it recently offered flight attendants a 38% increase in total compensation over four years, with a 25% raise in the first the union said the offer was "below inflation, below market value, below minimum wage" and would leave flight attendants unpaid for some hours of work, including waiting at airports ahead of flights or guiding the boarding process. They said that wages had not kept up with inflation, so that Air Canada's suggested pay increase was "in effect, a pay cut".Almost all of the attendants - 99.7% - voted to strike earlier this month. The company, meanwhile, has asked the government to representatives had facilitated some of the negotiations already, but the carrier went further and asked Canada's jobs minister, Patty Hajdu, to refer the matter for binding arbitration. How has the government responded? Earlier this week, Air Canada proposed having a third party step in to develop an agreement through what is called "binding arbitration", but the union rejected then asked the government to force the parties into binding arbitration, pointing to recent government interventions in rail, port and other negotiations. In binding arbitration, an independent third party sets the terms of a contract in an agreement that is legally union said in a statement on Friday that it had requested that Hajdu not intervene and, instead, allow "the parties to reach a resolution through free and fair negotiations, without undue interference". For the flight attendants, the only answer is for both sides to come back to the Hajdu side with the company, she would ask Canada's Industrial Relations Board to impose binding arbitration in order to protect the economy, according to Reuters, which reported that the board typically agrees to such requests, but after it has studied them for a few is pressure from other parts of Canada, as well. The Board of Trade for the Toronto region has called for a government intervention , while the province of Newfoundland and Labrador released a statement describing the impact of a strike as "catastrophic" for the tourism industry during the summer season. How long will the strike last? That's unclear. When Air Canada pilots went on strike in September 1998 for 13 days, all of the carrier's more than 600 daily flights were grounded, stranding passengers and costing the airline C$133m ($96m; £71m) before a negotiated deal was recent years, the federal government has stepped in during labour disputes by Air Canada workers by blocking strikes and imposing union said imposing arbitration would stop the first strike by the carrier's flight attendants since 1985. What to do if your flight is cancelled? Air Canada has said it will notify passengers if there is a change to the flight's scheduled departure time. As of Saturday, Air Canada was "strongly advising" passengers not to go to the airport unless they had tickets on other whose flights are cancelled will be notified and receive a full refund, the airline said. The company has also made arrangements with other Canadian and foreign carriers to provide customers alternative travel it's a round trip, return flights are not automatically cancelled in case the passengers reaches the destination. Those bookings can be cancelled with no fees.

The 'King of American Coins' is found in 'grandpa's closet' after 70 years... and is set to fetch $5million
Where James A. Stack Sr. acquired it is a mystery that may never be solved - but for more than 70 years, one of the rarest coins in American history sat quietly in his family's collection. Stack, a prominent New York banker and one of the most discerning coin collectors of the 20th century, began building his collection in the late 1930s with a bold goal: to assemble the most complete and highest-quality cabinet of U.S. coins possible. He pored over landmark sales, forged relationships with top dealers, and handpicked pieces not just for rarity, but for their pristine condition and impeccable provenance. By the time of his death in 1951, Stack's holdings spanned everything from early American copper to spectacular gold issues, along with rarities in U.S. paper money, ancient coins, and world currency. His collection included some of the greatest trophies in American numismatics - an 1802 half dime, an 1894-S dime, an 1838-O half dollar, the 1815 half eagle, and the finest known 1870-S silver dollar. Even the notorious 1933 double eagle once sat in his albums before being surrendered to the Secret Service, leaving behind only his wry note: 'Secret Service has mine.' One of his most elusive prizes - an 1804 silver dollar known as the 'King of American Coins' - has remained hidden since the 1940s. Just 16 examples are known to exist, and this one is considered the finest of the so-called 'Class III' type in private hands. It will be seen publicly for the first time next week at the American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money in Oklahoma City before going under the hammer on December 9, where it's expected to fetch up to $5 million. John Kraljevich, numismatic historian with Stack's Bowers Galleries, which is handling the sale told Daily Mail: 'It certainly has the upshot of making some people who thought they knew everything about everything, or at least everything about this coin, second guess. 'There's always another collection sitting in grandpa's closet. That's why we do what we do - the joy of discovery and the hunt for hidden treasure.' Despite its date, no silver dollars were actually struck in 1804. 'None of the silver dollars made in 1804 were actually dated 1804,' Kraljevich explains. 'In 1834 they wanted diplomatic gifts for heads of state, so they made new dies and put 1804 on them.' Those first pieces went to rulers such as the King of Siam and the Sultan of Muscat - instantly making them rarities. Later, in the late 1860s and early 1870s, Mint employees struck a few more off the books for collectors. This newly surfaced piece is one of those so-called 'Class III' examples. 'It's high grade, it's beautiful, and it's the only one among all the Class Threes in private hands with that kind of caliber,' Kraljevich says. 'Among the Class Threes, this is far and away the best one any collector will have a chance to bid on,' he added. Stack's Bowers Galleries in New York will auction the newly discovered legendary rare coin on December 9 The 'King of American Coins' nickname dates back to 1941. 'That was marketing talk from another numismatic auctioneer… a Lithuanian immigrant named B. Max Mehl, sort of the PT Barnum of the coin industry,' Kraljevich says. 'He spent hundreds of thousands of Depression-era dollars on marketing, got everyone looking for rare coins in their change, and really helped coin collecting blossom.' Where Stack Sr. acquired the coin remains a mystery. 'We have no backstory,' says Kraljevich. 'The collector bought this between the late 1930s and 1951 in New York… where it was sourced before that is anybody's guess.' Kraljevich believes the coin's pristine state and fresh-to-market appeal could drive bidding sky-high. 'We're thinking probably four to five million… but anything could happen. People love new discoveries and stories of hidden treasure. You get two wealthy individuals who decide they just have to have it, and records will be set.' So why does the king still reign? 'Everybody loves a controversy,' Kraljevich says. Vendor Warren Mills is seen at a previous gathering of the American Numismatic Association's World Fair of Money 'You've got government officials behaving badly, early U.S. diplomacy, colorful collectors, and just enough conspiracy to keep people talking. 'None of these coins are what they seem - they all have a little bit of a secret side. 'Owning one automatically elevates a collection and the collector's place in history.' Only seven or eight examples of the 1804 dollar are in private hands today. The last one sold - the famed Sultan of Muscat specimen - fetched $7.68 million in 2021.
