Warren Buffett to step down from Berkshire Hathaway
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett will step down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate announced on Friday. The news brings to an end the revered investor's more than half-a-century of running the group, which he turned into a financial behemoth. Buffett's resignation is "effective immediately" and he will remain a member of the board of directors, Berkshire Hathaway said in a statement. Buffett's son Howard Buffett will take over as chairman, the statement added. The 96-year-old had announced plans last year to retire from leading the business group. Berkshire Hathaway, a former small textile company, has grown over the years into a gigantic conglomerate under Buffett's leadership, and is now worth over US$1 trillion on Wall Street -- a first for an American group outside the tech sector. Today, his conglomerate owns dozens of businesses, from Duracell batteries to US insurer Geico, and shares in carefully selected companies, from Coca-Cola to Bank of America.

Yields have been climbing steadily since the pandemic knocked them nearly to zero in 2020. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, the international standard, rose nearly US$110 early this week, up from a little over US$70 in July. It briefly dropped below US$102 in overnight trading before settling at US$103.87. (AP) Edited by Robert Kemp
