Banca de EE.UU. logró casi US$120.000 millones de ganancias en el 2011
Beneficios de entidades financieras inscritas en la Corporación Federal de Garantía de Depósitos de EE.UU. (FDIC) crecieron 39,8%

Martes 28 de febrero de 2012 - 02:26 pm

Pese al contexto de crisis que se vive en Estados Unidos, la banca norteamericana anotó cifras positivas, dado que los bancos comerciales y las entidades de ahorro pertenecientes a la Corporación Federal de Garantía de Depósitos de EE.UU. (FDIC) registraron un total de US$119.505 millones en ganancias netas en el 2011.

Esta cifra alcanzada representa un avance 39,8% en comparación con lo obtenido en el 2010.

Asimismo, según informó el portal español eleconomista.com, en el cuarto trimestre del año pasado las ganancias de la banca estadounidense ascendieron a US$26.300 millones, un 22,9% más que el periodo similar del 2010. Con este resultado, el periodo entre setiembre y diciembre del 2011 fue el décimo trimestre consecutivo en el que los beneficios de la banca de EE.UU. se incrementaron.

Martín J. Gruenberg, presidente interino de la FDIC, indicó que en el 2011 se mejoraron los resultados del sistema bancario estadounidense y disminuyeron los bancos en problemas así como el número de entidades intervenidas.

ET.Dow Ends at 13000 for First Time Since May 2008

By CHRISTIAN BERTHELSEN
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the 13000 mark for the first time since May 19, 2008, before the financial crisis and recession sent markets reeling.

After just failing to close at the milestone during the five previous trading sessions, the Dow gained 24 points, or 0.2%, to close at 13005.

The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was up 5 points, or 0.3%, at 1372, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 21 points, or 0.7%, to 2987.

Seven of the S&P's 10 sectors were higher, led by technology and health-care shares. Blue chips were mostly higher, led by Microsoft, which was up 1.3%, but weighed down by American Express, off 0.8%.

Mixed economic data provided conflicting direction earlier in the session.

The Commerce Department's latest report on durable goods showed orders in January fell at the fastest pace in three years, decreasing 4% compared with the 1.1% drop expected by economists. And U.S. home prices fell 3.8% in December from a month earlier, ending 2011 at the lowest level since mid-2006, according to the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home-price index.

But the Conference Board said U.S. consumer confidence rose to its highest reading in a year, lifted by a better outlook on the job market. And a regional Fed measure of economic activity in the mid-Atlantic area expanded for the third month in a row, albeit at a slower rate.

The market shook off the confusion and turned higher.

."There's a conviction among investors that, one, 'If I sell stocks, what do I do with the money?' There's a total lack of selling as a result of that. And, two, [there is] a strong attitude out there that, if the economy does turn down again, the Federal Reserve will be quick to initiate QE3," said Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist of Robert W. Baird, referring to another round of so-called quantitative easing, or bond buying. "Right now, you've got the best of both worlds: If the economy turns down, it's good, but if it turns up, it's good."

The Stoxx Europe 600 closed up 0.2%. Optimism ahead of the European Central Bank's second long-term refinancing operation and Germany's approval of Greece's bailout package provided support, countering Standard & Poor's downgrade of Greek sovereign credit to "selective default," a move that was widely expected.

Asian exchanges were mostly higher, with Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rising 0.9% to close at a six-month high and China's Shanghai Composite adding 0.2% to post its eighth straight gain.

Plata sube 4.5%

MARKETSFEBRUARY 28, 2012, 3:05 P.M. ET.Silver Soars 4.5%; Gold Hits Three-Month High

By TATYANA SHUMSKY
NEW YORK—Silver futures rallied 4.5% while gold settled at its highest level in three months amid growing investor interest in precious metals and a weaker dollar.

The most actively traded silver contract, for May delivery, settled at $37.205 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Silver climbed to its highest level in five months as traders who follow technical indicators rushed in to the market. Silver prices breached the $35.65 resistance level, which it hadn't tested since October, sending a strong buy signal to the market.

"The move triggered a rush of buying activity as shorts covered and new longs came in," said Fawad Razaqzada, strategist with GFT Markets.

Investor appetite for silver has been growing in recent weeks. The number of silver futures contracts, known as open interest, touched a high of 118,204 on Feb. 24, the highest level since Aug. 24 when silver futures were trading at around $40 a troy ounce.

"There was no external influence other than the technical breakout that a number of hedge funds jumped on at the same time," said Frank McGhee, head precious metals dealer at Integrated Brokerage Services in Chicago. "Silver was sold off much further than gold at the end of last year and has now retraced to where fair valuation is against gold."

Tuesday's rally crowned silver with a 33% gain, making it the best-performing metal of 2012 to date.

Meanwhile, gold for April delivery, the most active contract, rallied $13.50, or 0.8%, to settle at $1,788.40 a troy ounce on the Comex, the highest settlement since Nov. 9.

A weaker dollar and stronger equities gave gold prices a boost, as the yellow metal has increasingly traded in line with risky assets like stocks and out of step with havens like the dollar.

Gold's gains were also helped by comments from Iranian Central Bank Governor Mahmoud Bahmani. The central bank official said Iran could accept payments in gold instead of dollars and other hard currencies from its trading partners, state-controlled news agency IRNA reported.
