hot deals
Sounds to me like a direct calque on the EN. In sales / marketing, we often talk about things being 'hot' or 'cold', c.f. ' a hot lead' or 'cold calling'

Presumably.
"Hot" in the familiar sense of "topical", "current", "favourable", "likely to be won/bagged".
Which yet again is proof that we all, men and women alike, have a sexual thought every eight seconds.

urgent business
In my experience, "chaud" means "urgent" rather than "important".
