0916 GMT - Germany's IG Metall trade union is among the most mentioned topics across news items over the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data, after it said that Ford Europe is poised to cut jobs and relocate positions from Germany. The labor union said Ford's European operation is planning on cutting a "four-digit" number of positions in product development and that these activities would be repatriated to the U.S. It said the company plans to make additional reductions, affecting administrative activities, across its German sites in the coming years. Ford Europe didn't respond to a request for comment. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (pierre.bertrand@wsj.com)
