Yahoo profit beats Wall St., some analysts worry over effect of hack

By Deborah M. Todd SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Yahoo Inc reported better-than-expected quarterly adjusted profit on Tuesday, a boost for the beleaguered company whose deal to sell its core business to Verizon Communications Inc has been shaken by a massive data breach. Verizon's general counsel said last week that the hack, which affected at least 500 million email accounts in 2014, could have a material impact, possibly allowing Verizon to withdraw from the $4.83 billion deal. Tuesday's results provided at least an initial indication that the data breach has not led to a quick exodus of Yahoo customers, as some had feared.

Worries over China, Brexit push Treasury yields to record low

By Marc Jones LONDON (Reuters) – Investors pushed U.S. government bond yields to an all-time low and the yen sharply higher on Tuesday, as soft data from China added to worries about the impact of Britain's vote to leave the European Union.  As a fresh wave of uncertainty ripped through markets, Swiss bond yields turn negative all the way out to 50 years on bets that the world's major central banks will have to wade in with yet more stimulus. European shares lost more than 1 percent in early trade, with China's data hitting commodity-linked firms and the banking sector dented by worries over a near 60-percent slump in Italian bank shares this year. The safe-haven yen rose almost one percent against the euro and dollar , while Brexit-battered sterling hit another 31-year low after soft UK economic data.
