The UK provisionally recorded its highest-ever temperature on 19 July, with a reading of more than 40 degrees Celsius — 104 degrees Fahrenheit at Heathrow.

“I suspect this record is going to be broken several times over the course of the day,” said Bob Ward, the communications director of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. “Peak temperatures are around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

A federal jury in Chicago convicted two former traders of JPMorgan’s precious metals desk who had been charged with manipulating gold prices, finding they used misleading orders to rig prices.

The convictions are the capstone of a seven-year Justice Department campaign to punish a style of deceptive trading in futures markets known as spoofing.
