Tuesday 04:30 amHSBC (HBC): Q3 profit was "significantly ahead" of a year ago, in part due to the first drop in U.S. impairment charges in more than three years. "The more positive signals that we saw in the U.S. run-off portfolio in the first half have continued, with the result that our North American operations did not require any capital support from the group during the quarter. We should have further evidence by the year-end as to whether this is a sustainable trend." Shares +2.6% premarket. (PR, MW)
