| | | Paris Attacks: Short-Term Hit For Markets, Longer-Term Effects For France | Asian stocks fell after the deadly attacks in Paris over the weekend but European markets and U.S. futures were steadier. Most investors and analysts expect markets to normalize quickly, but economists say France's recent recovery may have been sabotaged. |
| Obama To Raise Terrorism, China Expansionism At Asian Summits | U.S. President Barack Obama will be in Manila and Kuala Lumpur from Tuesday -- Monday night in the U.S. -- through the weekend for a series of summits where terrorism was already on the table before the Paris attacks. Also on the president's agenda: China's moves in the South China Sea. China reacted to the Paris attacks saying it will step up anti-terrorism measures, taking aim at a group in its Xinjiang region. |
| The Force Awakens Sales | Hasbro holds its shareholders meeting on Monday with the stock up 40 percent this year thanks in part to sales of Star Wars toys. The toys are so hot that retailers are pushing other products off their shelves, and "The Force Awakens" isn't even on screens yet. Another company, Electronic Arts, is counting on parents to boost sales of the Star Wars game it is releasing on Tuesday. |
| Tsinghua Unigroup To Challenge Intel, Qualcomm and Samsung In Chipmaking | The Chinese tech conglomerate says it will spend $47 billion to become one of the world's three biggest chipmakers. The amount is close to Intel's 2014 chip revenue and bigger than Tsinghua's recently rebuffed bid for Micron Technology. The company says it's now in talks with a U.S. company but probably won't buy a majority for national security reasons. |

|  | | | HERE'S WHAT YOU MISSED LAST NIGHT. |
| | | France Says It Knew Of Terror Plot, And More Plans | The French government said they knew Friday's attacks were being planned, and that terrorists are plotting more across Europe. It confirmed more than a hundred searches leading to arrests and the seizure of weapons and cash. U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron says his government has foiled seven planned attacks in six months. |
| Romney Joins Call For Tougher 'War On ISIS' | Former U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney joins other Republicans in criticizing the Obama administration's efforts against the Islamic State terrorist group. Intelligence experts debate how ISIS’s attacks in Paris could have escaped surveillance, and what can be done to prevent a recurrence. |
| Japan Recession Again | Japan returned to recession, the fourth time since the global financial crisis, putting more pressure on the Bank of Japan to boost stimulus, which it is reluctant to do. |
| UN Chief Said To Visit North Korea Amid Missile Test Speculation | U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will reportedly visit North Korea this week and, if he does, will probably meet its leader Kim Jong Un. It will be the first such event since a 1993 meeting between their predecessors. The visit would come at a time when South Korea spotted signs the North may be planning another missile test. |
