Israel Corp obtiene financiación para planta hidroeléctrica Perú
domingo 19 de agosto de 2012 12:08 GYT Imprimir [-] Texto [+]
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - IC Power, una filial de la compañía Israel Corp, selló un acuerdo para recibir 534 millones de dólares en financiación bancaria a fin de construir una planta de energía hidroeléctrica en Perú, anunció el domingo el conglomerado israelí.

La planta energética de 510 megavatios, Cerro Del Aguila, tendrá un costo de construcción de 900 millones de dólares y se espera que esté terminada en el 2016.

El crédito a 10 años será recibido con aportes de 11 bancos extranjeros a una tasa interés promedio Libor más un 5 por ciento. Israel Corp colocó 65 millones de dólares en garantías para obtener el préstamo.

IC Power posee un 74,9 por ciento de Cerro Del Aguila, que para fines de julio había invertido 102 millones de dólares en el proyecto.

BCE considera tope en tasas interés para compra bonos: revista
domingo 19 de agosto de 2012 09:00 GYT Imprimir [-] Texto [+]
BERLIN (Reuters) - El Banco Central Europeo (BCE) considera establecer umbrales de tasas de interés para cualquier compra de bonos soberanos de países en problemas de la zona euro, a fin de poder adquirir sus deudas en caso de que los valores excedan cierta prima respecto a los papeles alemanes, según un reporte publicado el domingo.

El semanario alemán Spiegel, que no nombró a sus fuentes, dijo que el BCE decidiría si implementar o no aquellos umbrales en su reunión de septiembre.

La medida daría una señal a los inversionistas sobre qué nivel de interés es considerado adecuado por el BCE. Ello desalentaría a los especuladores a empujar los rendimientos por sobre el umbral fijado por el banco central de la zona euro, dijo la revista.

El BCE dijo que no haría comentarios sobre el reporte.

El presidente del BCE, Mario Draghi, indicó este mes que el banco podría comenzar a comprar deuda gubernamental para reducir los enormes costos de endeudamiento de Italia y España, pero también sostuvo que sólo se intervendría si los Gobiernos solicitaban ayuda de la zona euro primero.

A cambio, la asistencia estaría vinculada a una serie de condiciones.

Al introducir los márgenes de tasas de interés, el banco apuntaría a mantener a raya los costos de financiamiento de los países en problemas además de asegurar que las tasas de interés en la zona euro no sean muy divergentes, según Spiegel.

El Bundesbank alemán se ha opuesto a que el BCE compre bonos soberanos para disminuir los costos de endeudamiento de los países en problemas, ya que lo considera demasiado cercano a la prohibición del banco central respecto a financiar a Estados.

El ministro de Finanzas alemán, Wolfgang Schaeuble, rechazó el sábado la idea de financiar la deuda estatal mediante el Banco Central Europeo y dijo que "si empezamos a hacer eso, no nos detendremos. Es como cuando empiezas a intentar resolver tus problemas con drogas".

Por su parte la canciller alemana, Angela Merkel, expresó su apoyo el jueves a la estrategia de Draghi para combatir la crisis.

Spiegel dijo que el BCE quiere hacer más transparentes sus compras de bonos en el futuro y planea empezar a anunciar el volumen de sus compras de papeles soberanos inmediatamente después de comprarlos.

Actualmente, el banco divulga cada lunes cuánto dinero gastó en compras de bonos durante la semana anterior.

Reportan: Dell, HPQ, etc.



Next Week’s Tape: Dell, H-P Top Earnings Parade

By Nathalie Tadena

Technology heavyweights Dell Inc. (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) will report their latest quarterly results next week, giving further insight into how the companies are coping with soft personal-computer sales and changing industry trends. Several retailers are also set to release earnings next week.

Among the economic reports due next week are July new-home and existing-home sales, as well as minutes from the most recent meeting of Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee.

Weaker Results Expected from Dell, H-P

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Dell and H-P, which report earnings Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, to post another quarter of weaker top- and bottom-line results.

Both companies face a slowdown in PC sales as consumers instead focus their attention on mobile devices.

Dell has been attempting to move beyond its core PC business and boost its results by acquiring higher-margin businesses, including data-storage, security and networking technologies. However, the company issued a cautious outlook in May for the fiscal second quarter and noted some customers were holding back on big purchases.

Rival H-P has been trying to boost its services business with its own offerings in areas such as cloud computing and by signing fewer, more profitable deals. However, the company has said the turnaround could take three to five years and said earlier this month it will write down the value of its technology-services business by about $8 billion. In May, the company unveiled plans to lay off 27,000 of its workers–about 8% of its workforce–as part of a restructuring plan to stem its declining profits and revenues.

Earnings from Retail Segment Continue

Several retailers are scheduled to report earnings next week, including home-improvement retailer Lowe’s Cos. (LOW) and electronics retailer Best Buy Co. (BBY).

Lately, business has been strengthening for Lowe’s, which in May reported a 14% increase in first-quarter earnings. However, it was unclear how much of the upswing in demand was driven by early spring weather. Like its larger rival Home Depot Inc. (HD), Lowe’s depends to some extent on a recovery in the housing sector. Analysts expect the company to post a slight improvement in earnings.

Meanwhile, Best Buy is struggling with competition from online retailers able to offer lower-priced electronics. Earlier this week, the company’s founder and biggest shareholder, Richard Schulze, reiterated his takeover interest in the company and requested permission to conduct due diligence and form a group that could present a fully financed offer.

Other retailers reporting next week include Urban Outfitters Inc. (URBN), Barnes & Noble Inc. (BKS), American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (AEO) and Williams-Sonoma Inc. (WSM)

Trina Solar, JinkoSolar Results Due

Solar-product makers Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL, K3KD.SG) and JinkoSolar Holding Co. (JKS) will release their latest quarterly results Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.

Both companies are projected to report weaker bottom-line results as the industry continues to struggle with falling prices and a global oversupply of solar panels and manufacturing capacity. Last month, Trina Solar lowered its second-quarter forecast for shipments and gross margin, citing the global overcapacity and declining prices. The company said U.S. market uncertainty and tariff impacts resulted in stagnant demand in North America.

Housing Data, Fed Minutes Due

Housing demand tops next week’s economic data list. Existing-home sales will be reported Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect resales to have risen to an annual rate of 4.5 million in July, from 4.37 million in June.

July new-home sales, due Thursday, are projected to increase to 365,000 from a 350,000 rate in June.

Meanwhile, a report on July durable-goods orders will be released Friday. The median forecast expects a 2.8% increase in new orders, but almost all of those new bookings will be in aircraft.

Wednesday, the Fed will release the minutes from its July 31-Aug. 1 policy meeting. The minutes may reveal just how worried policy makers were about the economic outlook and whether central bankers felt increased urgency to add monetary accommodation, even though no action was taken.
