Espania le aventara billones de maseuros a su sector bancario y los forzara a que sean mas abiertos en sus prestamos.

En los proximos dias Espania emitira $4 billones de deuda y el gobierno esta considerando emitir hasta 30 billones de euros en deuda adicional. Aunque podria ser menos.

Spain to Ramp Up Bailout of Banks

By SARA SCHAEFER MUñOZ And JONATHAN HOUSE
Spain plans to pour billions more euros into its troubled savings banks and force them to be more open about their lending practices, people familiar with the matter said, an acknowledgment that previous efforts to fix the banks have fallen flat as the country seeks to ward off an international bailout.

In a first step, Spain is preparing to issue €3 billion ($4 billion) in debt in coming days, the people familiar with the matter said. Government officials are putting plans in place to eventually raise as much as €30 billion, according to these people, though some say the final tally will be less.

The hope is that a series of capital injections will quell investor jitters about the savings banks, known as cajas (literally, "boxes"), which have been a thorn in Spain's side as it seeks to convince investors that the country's finances are stable.

The fate of the cajas is inextricably tied to the fate of Spain and potentially to the euro itself. Fear that the savings banks can't raise funds on their own and will need a government bailout was one reason ratings agency Moody's put Spain's rating on review for a downgrade last month.

Another step the government is taking to boost investor confidence in the cajas is simplifying their complex structures, making them more like traditional banks. The cajas have long had confusing ownership and governance structures and disclosed far less financial information than other banks. Their boards consisted of local politicians, union members, clients and, in some cases, Catholic priests, many of whom were reluctant to relinquish their influence over lending decisions.

The Spanish government last year forced a wave of mergers among the cajas—reducing their number from 45 to 17—but confusing, unwieldy structures persisted, scaring off investors. Another part of last year's rescue attempt was an injection of €11 billion via the newly formed Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring. At the time, Spain said it could put up to €99 billion into the fund, but until recently had said further injections wouldn't be necessary. Now, it's reversing course.

Going forward, people close to the matter say, the idea is to force the cajas to transform themselves into centralized, transparent entities that more closely resemble traditional banks by placing all of their assets into a central holding company and streamlining management. The changes would be made either through legislation or by making it a condition of accessing government funds.

"We think that the restructuring and recapitalization of the savings bank sector is probably the most important issue for the government at this juncture," said Antonio Garcia Pascual, an economist at Barclays Capital.

Raising any new capital for the cajas carries risks, as it comes on top of Spain's existing financing needs. Economists estimate that the country needs to borrow €125 billion this year just to finance its deficit and roll over maturing debt.

Many of the cajas, which account for €1.3 trillion in assets—or 42% of total bank assets in Spain—used liberal lending practices to fuel a decade-long housing boom that went bust and left many of the institutions holding billions in bad loans and facing heavy losses.

The new moves reflect the fact that last year's fixes didn't stick. The shotgun weddings forced by the government proved difficult to execute in practice, with the governing boards of merged cajas bickering over issues like labor, salaries and operating hours. In most cases, the new banks only partially merged their assets.

Some investors were skeptical. Private equity firm J.C. Flowers, which in July committed to buying €450 million in debt from the newly formed Banca Civica, put its investment on hold until it sees what the bank's final merger looks like, said a person close to the fund. Banca Civica couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

By the end of November, with Spain's borrowing costs soaring, the Bank of Spain publicly urged the cajas to move faster in combining businesses and cutting costs. In recent days, the government has been more aggressive. Last week, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said recapitalization of the banks was an "urgent objective."

Already, some of the savings banks, urged on by government officials, have decided to abandon the decentralized model, and transform themselves into entities resembling regular banks. Cajastur, for example, in its merger with three other lenders, announced at the end of last month it would be pooling 100% of its assets.

The government will wait to give any ultimatum to the cajas until it sees the results of detailed disclosures about the type and quality of loans that savings banks have made to the real-estate sector, said people close to the matter. Those will be made public for the first time later this month and in February.

The Spanish government is also studying changes to allow the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring to inject capital in the banks through direct stake purchases, considered the safest kind of investment and one that would give the government more control over the entities, in contrast to the nonvoting preferred shares it bought in the past.

Government officials are also weighing the possibility of setting up a government-administered "bad bank" for the toxic assets of some of the cajas, according to one of the people familiar with the matter, although it is unclear how that would be funded and structured.

Spain's government debt isn't that high compared to other troubled countries in the euro zone, such as Greece and Ireland. But borrowing costs for Spain soared at the end of last year after Ireland received a €67.5 billion bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. After a successful bond issuance by Spain earlier this week costs have ebbed some. Nonetheless, investors worry that the authorities haven't come clean on the problems of the savings banks, which will leave the government with a big bill down the road. Analyst estimates of the amount of capital needed are less conservative then that of the government's. UBS AG estimates banks could need anywhere from €20 billion to €120 billion.

El petroleo cayo debajo de $91 el Miercoles, debido a las preocupaciones del aumento de la oferta un dia antes del conteo de inventarios. Cerro a 90.86.

Crude Pulls Back Below $91

By JERRY A. DICOLO
NEW YORK—Crude futures fell Wednesday, hurt by concerns about rising supplies ahead of key government data on U.S. inventories.

Light, sweet crude for February delivery settled 52 cents, or 0.6%, lower at $90.86 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude on the ICE futures exchange traded 36 cents higher at $98.16 a barrel.

Oil prices dropped ahead of important data on U.S. oil supplies, due 11 a.m. EST Thursday. U.S. oil inventories are expected to fall by 900,000 barrels in the weekly report from the Department of Energy. But the expected decline is partly due to the shutdown of the Trans Alaska Pipeline, which restarted Monday. Fuel inventories are seen continuing their recent steep increase, with gasoline stockpiles expected to grow 2.3 million barrels and distillates, including heating oil and diesel, seen adding 500,000 barrels.

The American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, is scheduled to release its weekly inventory data later Wednesday.

Supply issues have been paramount in recent days after the shutdown of the Alaska pipeline last week pushed crude futures back above $90 a barrel. With the key 800-mile oil route back in service, investors are closely watching the recent rise in stockpiles of fuel products, both in the U.S. and Europe, as continued builds could stifle any push toward triple-digit oil.

"Ample supplies are coming back into the marketplace," said Tony Rosado, a broker with GA Global Markets. "The market is still feeling a little bit heavy in the $90 area, and with Trans Alaska pumping, I just don't think [traders] are going to step in and pay any better."

Near-capacity stockpiles of oil in Cushing, Okla., the delivery point for Nymex-traded West Texas Intermediate crude futures, has kept the U.S. benchmark trading at a large discount to Brent, which is used to price much of the oil in Europe and Asia.

Crude storage in Cushing has held down prices even as signs of improving global oil demand have allowed Brent to inch close to $100 a barrel. Any drop in Cushing stockpiles in Thursday's report will help boost futures, analysts said.

"Cushing [supply] continues to be the key crude oil number," said Stephen Schork, head of oil-trading advisory firm the Schork Report.

Meanwhile, concerns about the broader economic recovery put pressure on crude prices. Data on U.S. housing from the Commerce Department left traders concerned about the strength of a key sector of the economy, as home construction in the U.S. fell by 4.3% to its lowest level in more than a year in December.

Investors are also concerned about a slowdown in China's economy. The country's oil demand rose above 10 million barrels a day for the first time in November, but the Chinese government's actions to slow its rapid growth could dent demand for crude from the world's largest consumer of energy. China is set to release December inflation data Thursday.

Front-month February reformulated gasoline blendstock, or RBOB, settled 0.24 cent higher at $2.4816 a gallon. February heating oil settled 1.03 cents higher at $2.6562 a gallon.

El oro subio el Miercoles debido a que los inversionistas buscaron una alternativa al dolar.

El oro subio a $1,370.20 (futures de Febrero) en NY.

Gold Rises in Flight From Dollar

By MATT WHITTAKER
NEW YORK—Gold futures gained Wednesday as investors wanted an alternative to the U.S. dollar

The most actively traded gold contract, for February delivery, gained $2 to settle at $1,370.20 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The front-month January contract rose $2.10, to $1,370.20.

"Gold was driven higher by the weaker dollar," said Sterling Smith, market analyst at Country Hedging in Minnesota.

The dollar was under pressure as a visit to the U.S. by Chinese President Hu Jintao underscored the swelling U.S. fiscal imbalance and China's controversial currency peg.

The ICE Futures U.S. Dollar Index was down 0.6%, shortly after gold closed.

In the Asian trading session, the People's Bank of China set the parity rate of the yuan to a record low against the dollar. China's currency move came on the heels of Tuesday's news that China, the largest foreign creditor to the U.S., was a net seller of U.S. Treasury debt in November.

Gold is considered an alternative currency because it is easily converted into cash, and it is considered a safe-haven investment along with the dollar because the metal isn't as closely linked to industrial production cycles like copper, oil or equities.

Additionally, a weaker U.S. dollar makes dollar-denominated gold less expensive for buyers using other currencies, helping demand.

Further, prices are "finding good support on the downside from physical demand in Asia ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday," Barclays Capital precious metals analyst Suki Cooper said in a note to clients.

China is the world's second largest jewelry market after India.

Comex March silver fell 0.4%, Nymex April platinum rose 0.5% and Nymex March palladium gained 1.1%.

Colombia, Peru Stock Exchanges Plan Corporate Merger

By DAN MOLINSKI And ROBERT KOZAK
BOGOTÁ, Colombia—The stock exchanges of Colombia and Peru are planning a corporate merger that will be the first-ever cross-border fusion of stock markets in Latin America, the two exchanges said Wednesday.

The merger is separate from a planned integration of trading between the stock exchanges in Colombia, Peru and Chile slated to happen this year.

Stock-market officials said, however, that the two projects should complement each other.

"The merger is an opportunity for our industry to increase value for the [traded] companies by way of operating efficiency and the development of new products for both markets," said Colombian Stock Exchange President Juan Pablo Córdoba.

Gustavo Urrutia, an economist with brokerage Inteligo in Peru, said that beyond helping both markets to develop, the merger could speed up the trading integration of the two exchanges because directors will more easily be able to make joint decisions.

The two exchanges, the Colombian Stock Exchange and the Lima Stock Exchange, have already signed a memorandum of understanding for the merger, but both boards still need to approve the final details. The merger is expected to close sometime after March.

"The merger of the stock exchanges will create a strategic alignment, which will strengthen our position among regional capital markets and help complement market integration, supporting solid, strong growth," the director general of the Lima Stock Exchange, Francis Stenning, said.

The shareholders in each exchange will become shareholders of the new company, the stock markets said in a joint statement.

The companies that trade on both exchanges will have a total market capitalization of $378 billion. The Colombian side of the merger will control 64% of the new company while the Peru side will control 36%.

The new firm will have consolidated revenue of $45.8 million, based on 12-month results through September of last year.

The stock markets said the merger will allow for a "new, more competitive actor that can face the challenges of globalized capital markets."

Analysts at Celfin Capital in Medellín, Colombia expressed some concerns over how trading fees might be set by the merged company.

"It will be interesting to see if we get some sort of coordinated fee structure given the continuing complaints about the cost of trading in Lima," the analysts said in a note to clients.

El crecimiento economico de China se acelero a 9.8% en el cuarto trimestre, agregando la presion al gobierno para tomar medidas de ajuste monetario para combatir la inflacion.

China's Economic Growth Accelerates, Adding to Rate Pressure
By Bloomberg News - Jan 19, 2011 9:00 PM ET

China’s growth accelerated to a more-than-forecast 9.8 percent in the fourth quarter, adding pressure for more monetary tightening to counter inflation.

The expansion reported by the statistics bureau in Beijing today compared with a 9.6 percent annual gain in the previous three months. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 22 economists was 9.4 percent. Consumer prices rose 4.6 percent in December, matching the median forecast.

Chinese officials may keep ratcheting up bank reserve requirements and allow more gains in the yuan after the currency strengthened to a 17-year high as President Hu Jintao visited the U.S. this week. The World Bank sees “considerable scope” for higher benchmark interest rates, with Citigroup Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG estimating that inflation may peak at as much as 6 percent in the first half.

“Growth won’t be a problem this year,” said Zhuang Jian, a Beijing-based economist with the Asian Development Bank, before today’s release. “Inflation remains the top immediate risk for the economy.”

December’s inflation compared with November’s 5.1 percent annual pace, which was the fastest in more than two years. For 2010 as a whole, consumer prices rose 3.3 percent, breaching a government target of 3 percent.

Overtaking Japan

China’s economy expanded 10.3 percent in 2010 to 39.8 trillion yuan ($6.04 trillion), the fastest pace in three years, the statistics bureau report showed. That compared with 9.2 percent in 2009. The nation’s standing as the world’s No. 2 economy may be confirmed on Feb. 14 when Japan reports gross domestic product for the fourth quarter.

Urban fixed-asset investment rose 24.5 percent in 2010 from a year earlier. Retail sales grew at an annual 19.1 percent in December, partly boosted by inflation, and industrial production rose 13.5 percent, the statistics bureau said. Producer prices jumped 5.9 percent.

Premier Wen Jiabao pledged this week to prevent “abnormal” loan growth amid concern that resurgent lending may add to excess money in the financial system, fueling asset bubbles and inflation.

China’s foreign-exchange reserves jumped by a record $199 billion in the fourth quarter and new loans breached the government’s target for 2010. Companies from Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. to Starbucks Corp. and McDonald’s Corp. have raised prices.

Risk of ‘Overshooting’

Policy makers’ commitment to taming inflation means they risk “overshooting” and causing a slowdown that hampers the global recovery, Allen Sinai, president of Decision Economics in New York, said in an interview in Tokyo this week.

The central bank will increase the key one-year lending rate to 6.81 percent from 5.81 percent this year and let the yuan gain about 6 percent against the dollar, Nomura Holdings Inc. estimated this week.

The Chinese currency closed yesterday at 6.5824 per dollar, with President Barack Obama telling counterpart Hu that the yuan remains undervalued and gains so far have “not been fast enough.” Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming said U.S. export controls and China’s role in global manufacturing helped to explain the nations’ trade imbalance.

China aims to hold inflation at 4 percent for the full year, state television reported last month, citing the National Development and Reform Commission, the top economic planning agency.

‘Social Discontent’

Inflation of even that level is “serious” in China, according to Ma Jun, Deutsche Bank AG’s chief China economist. “People are used to low inflation and high inflation will easily cause social discontent,” he said, citing a 1.6 percent average annual rate for the 10 years through 2009.

The central bank has raised reserve ratios for the largest banks to 19 percent, excluding any extra requirements for individual lenders. Still, local-currency lending has already exceeded 1 trillion yuan in the year to date, the 21st Century Business Herald reported, citing an unidentified person familiar with the matter. Lending was 481 billion yuan in December.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose by the most in five weeks yesterday after speculation that the December inflation number had leaked and was 4.6 percent, less than November’s rate.

Acciones europeas extienden pérdidas, retroceden bancos
jueves 20 de nero de 2011 07:25 GYT
Imprimir[-] Texto [+] LONDRES (Reuters) - Las acciones europeas ampliaban pérdidas el jueves debido a las perspectivas de que China endurezca su política monetaria después de datos de crecimiento más sólidos de lo esperado.
Las acciones del sector bancario revertían parte de las ganancias de la sesión previa.

A las 1112 GMT, el índice paneuropeo FTSEurofirst 300 retrocedía 0,9 por ciento a 1.141,83 puntos después de subir hasta los 1.154,36 puntos más temprano.
