Geopolitical risk is the topic of Davos, KPMG chairman says
Global auditing firm KPMG has highlighted geopolitical risk as the main issue occupying the minds of attendees at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
Bill Thomas, chairman of KPMG International, told CNBC on Monday that a survey of 1,300 chief executives had showed that geopolitical risk has risen right to the top of leaders' concerns and was encouraging executives to seek answers.
"It is all about uncertainty. Businesses today, if they know what the rules of the game are, then they can respond," he said.

"But the geopolitical risks that we have are so uncertain, that's why we are seeing record numbers here at the World Economic Forum."
Thomas added that last year's speech by Chinese President's Xi showed how influential Davos can be in shaping people's thinking.
KPMG revenues grew to a record $26.4 billion for the 2017 fiscal year. The company said growth is being driven by investments in technology, alliances and developing new services.

General Electric shares fall below $16 as epic sell-off continues on Bank of America downgrade

General Electric shares broke briefly below $16 after Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgrades the company to neutral from buy.
The stock fell to a six-year low Friday.
Our outlook "reflects lower earnings estimates, zero equity value assigned to GE Capital, and lower value assigned to GE Digital initiatives, as we don't see the market paying up for this optionality," the Bank of America note says.

General Electric shares continued to plumb new depths after Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgraded the troubled bellwether on Monday.
The shares fell 1 percent Monday to $16.07 and touched an intraday low of $15.80, their lowest in six years. The stock fell last week below $17 a share after GE said earlier in the week that it would take a $6.2 billion after-tax charge because of its GE Capital insurance portfolio and that it expects to contribute $14 billion over the next seven years to shore up the company's reserves.
Analyst Andrew Obin told investors that the industrial conglomerate is likely to slash its 2018 outlook when it reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday.


Our outlook "reflects lower earnings estimates, zero equity value assigned to GE Capital, and lower value assigned to GE Digital initiatives, as we don't see the market paying up for this optionality," wrote Obin in a note to clients. "The relative size of the charge vs. expectations and limited disclosure related to potential off-balance sheet liabilities once again raise a question about the credibility of the current guidance and capital structure framework."
The analyst has a 12-month price target of $17 and downgraded the stock to neutral from buy. The shares are down 47 percent over the past 12 months.
Obin's view echoes the concern of the market's last week, that not even a breakup can stop the recent slide. The company may move to split itself as early as this spring, sources told CNBC's David Faber last Tuesday.
"Our view is that General Electric's key challenge is in North America and it relates to the lack of
robust demand for new gas-fired power capacity coupled with an installed fleet that is
coming off Long Term Service Agreements that were put in place as far back as 2000," Obin explained. "Because of a relatively benign demand environment, operators in many cases choose lower cost third party service and parts providers as they are looking for 'good enough'
v. top tier, higher cost service options that optimize performance provided by General Electric."
General Electric has hemorrhaged value over the past year as new CEO John Flannery attempts to turn the conglomerate around. The company recently cut its dividend to raise funds, but alienated many longtime investors in the process.
— CNBC's Michael Bloom contributed to this report.

Apple gets second downgrade in a week as Wall Street fears iPhone demand is softening

Atlantic Equities lowers its rating for Apple shares to neutral from overweight, predicting weaker-than-expected sales for the company's March quarter.
We see "signs that iPhone demand is starting to soften, limited visibility into the potential for future iPhone cycles and emerging challenges to the smartphone's dominance at the centre of consumer technology," the firm says.
Longbow Research downgraded Apple on Wednesday.

IPhone demand will disappoint this year, according to another Wall Street analyst.
Atlantic Equities lowered its rating for Apple shares to neutral from overweight on Monday, predicting weaker-than-expected sales for the company's March quarter. This follows a downgrade of the popular stock last week by Longbow Research.
We see "signs that iPhone demand is starting to soften, limited visibility into the potential for future iPhone cycles and emerging challenges to the smartphone's dominance at the centre of consumer technology, we believe the stock's multiple will compress, limiting upside potential," analyst James Cordwell wrote in a note to clients. We are "lowering our March qtr revenue estimates and are now below consensus for Q2-Q418."

Cordwell reaffirmed his $190 price target for Apple shares, representing 6.5 percent upside to Friday's close.
The analyst said recent supply-chain data points from Apple's suppliers have "turned negative." He also said the comments from the suppliers were much more optimistic during the iPhone 6 launch at this point in the cycle.
"Tougher ASP [average selling price] comps and the lack of a volume 'supercycle' with the iPhone X will leave it difficult to build conviction in future cycles," Cordwell wrote. "Meanwhile, there also appears potential that concerns could increase over Apple's position at the centre of consumer technology, particularly given the growing consumer interest and rapid innovation in voice-based devices."
Longbow Research on Wednesday lowered its rating for Apple shares to neutral from buy, predicting the company will ship fewer iPhones than expected in fiscal 2018.
We are "seeing only a good, not great iPhone cycle," Longbow analyst Shawn Harrison wrote in a note to clients.
Apple was down 0.8 percent in early trading Monday. The company's stock is up 49 percent the last 12 months.
Apple is still overwhelmingly recommended on Wall Street. It has 28 buy ratings, nine hold ratings and zero sell ratings among analysts, according to FactSet.

Todos los organismos del gobierno restablecen actividades. A diferencia del cierre del 2013 con Obama, donde a proposito cerraron todo, Trump y su administracion se esforzaron por mantener todo operativo, especialmente los lugares de los veteranos y los lugares turisticos.

Senadores EEUU alcanzan acuerdo para poner fin a paralización del gobierno
Redacción de Reuters

3 MIN. DE LECTURA

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Los senadores estadounidenses alcanzaron el lunes un acuerdo para poner fin a los tres días de paralización del Gobierno federal e intentar superar un enfrentamiento entre los demócratas y los republicanos del presidente Donald Trump sobre inmigración y seguridad fronteriza.

La ley de financiamiento eliminó un obstáculo de procedimiento en el Senado y está previsto que se vote lo más pronto posible por el pleno, lo cual permitiría que el Gobierno cuente con fondos hasta el 8 de febrero.

Cientos de miles de trabajadores federales habían comenzado a suspender operaciones el lunes, el primer día hábil desde el cierre la medianoche del viernes, pero continuaron los servicios esenciales tales como las operaciones de seguridad y defensa.

El líder demócrata del Senado Chuck Schumer dijo que había llegado a un acuerdo con el republicano Mitch McConnell para mantener al Gobierno funcionando durante las próximas tres semanas y un plan para abordar el tema de los Dreamers, más de 700.000 inmigrantes que llegaron ilegalmente a Estados Unidos cuando eran niños.

El cierre, que comenzó en el primer aniversario de la toma de posesión de Trump, amenazó con socavar la imagen autoproclamada del presidente como negociador.

La imposibilidad de llegar a un acuerdo obligó a Trump a cancelar un viaje de fin de semana planificado a su propiedad de Mar-a-Lago en Florida y generó incertidumbre en torno a su ida esta semana al Foro Económico Mundial en Davos, Suiza.

Los fondos para las operaciones del gobierno expiraron a la medianoche del viernes y los legisladores trabajaron durante el fin de semana para resolver la crisis. Las líneas generales de un acuerdo comenzaron a surgir cuando un grupo bipartidista de senadores sostuvo conversaciones el domingo y el lunes por la mañana.

Los demócratas han insistido en que cualquier legislación de gasto a corto plazo para mantener al gobierno en funcionamiento incluya protecciones para los jóvenes inmigrantes indocumentados conocidos como “Dreamers”.

Los republicanos a su vez dijeron que no negociarían sobre inmigración hasta que los demócratas les dieran los votos necesarios para reabrir el gobierno.

“Vamos a votar hoy (lunes) para reabrir el gobierno”, dijo Schumer.

La última paralización gubernamental, en octubre del 2013, se prolongó por más de dos semanas y más de 800.000 empleados federales se vieron afectados por la licencia sin goce de sueldo.

Esta vez, la disputa está enfocada en las políticas de inmigración, principalmente por el decreto que emitió el año pasado Trump poniendo fin al programa Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por su sigla en inglés), que ofrecía protección contra la deportación a los “Dreamers”.
