(Reuters) - Chipmaker Qualcomm Inc (QCOM.O) is asking courts in China to ban sales of Apple Inc’s (AAPL.O) latest iPhone models XS and XR after winning a preliminary injunction against older models, the company confirmed on Thursday, On Monday, a Chinese court had ordered a sales ban of some older Apple iPhone models for violating two patents of Qualcomm, though intellectual property lawyers said enforcement of the ban was likely still a distant threat, “We plan to use the same patents to file suit against the three new iPhone models,” Jiang Hongyi, rose gold louis moinet cufflinks a lawyer at Lexfield Law Offices who is representing Qualcomm in its patent suits, told the FT, which first reported the news on Thursday..

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank formally ended its 2.6 trillion euro crisis-fighting bond purchase scheme on Thursday but promised to keep feeding stimulus for years into an economy struggling with an unexpected slowdown and political turmoil, In a precarious balancing act, ECB President Mario Draghi signaled both confidence about growth and concern over rising uncertainty, justifying the end of asset purchases after four years and the promise of lengthy support, Some ECB policymakers wanted him to adopt rose gold louis moinet cufflinks an even more cautious tone on the euro zone’s economic prospects but all stood behind the decision to dial back the stimulus, two sources told Reuters..

The ECB’s problem is that growth is weaker than expected even just weeks ago, while the outlook is clouded by the threat of a global trade war, the prospect of a hard Brexit and Italy’s budget standoff with the European Commission. But quantitative easing has run its course and any extension would have hit the ECB’s credibility after it flagged the scheme’s end back in June. In the end, the ECB tweaked the wording of its statement to reflect the increased economic concerns but kept its reference to balanced risks.

“Risks rose gold louis moinet cufflinks surrounding the euro area growth outlook can still be assessed as broadly balanced,” Draghi told a news conference after a meeting of the ECB’s Governing Council, “However, the balance of risk is moving to the downside owing to the persistence of uncertainties related to geopolitical factors, the threat of protectionism, vulnerabilities in emerging markets and financial market volatility.”, The ECB lowered its growth and inflation projections for next year, forecasting a steady slowdown in the coming years as the effect of the stimulus wanes and growth returns to the currency bloc’s natural potential at about 1.5 percent..

That may still be optimistic. Growth figures, particularly from the bloc’s biggest nations, continue to disappoint, suggesting that a dismal third quarter was not an anomaly, as some argue. “Given how much the downside risks have mounted and how long the ECB has been mentioning the risks without changing its risk assessment, it almost seems like the ECB has a blindspot for downside risks,” Nordea economist Jan von Gerich said. Draghi stuck close to the bank’s argument that the drivers of growth remain in place and that the slowdown is merely a return to normal after an exceptional run.

He also argued that for much of the last four years, the ECB’s asset purchases had been the only driver of the recovery, suggesting a slowdown is a natural consequence of the ECB’s retreat, For an EXPLAINER on life after QE, click on, For details of the ECB’s new reinvestment policy, click on, Draghi also offered some concrete measures of support and hinted that more may rose gold louis moinet cufflinks come, keeping markets relatively calm and even weakening the euro a touch with his dovish communication of a hawkish decision..
