Banking giant HSBC today axed 35,000 jobs, far more than expected, and posted slumping annual profits over the financial impact of the deadly coronavirus. Pre-tax profits tumbled by a third to $13.3 billion (12.3 billion euros) in 2019 from a year earlier, largely owing to a $7.3-billion write-off related to its investment and commercial banking businesses in Europe.
