German Market Notably Lower Amid Yuan Impact
August 11, 2015 at 12:54
BERLIN (dpa-AFX) - The German market came under pressure on Tuesday, after China devalued yuan by the most in two decades to cushion its exports as the economy shows no solid signs of revival after the volatility in the stock market.
The bank set the value of yuan at 6.2298 a dollar, 1.9 percent lower than Monday's official fixing rate. This was the biggest one-day loss since 1994, when it unified official rate with market rates. Export stocks with exposure to China, mainly auto stocks and luxury goods, retreated in response to the move.
That said, investors also felt some relief after Greece early Tuesday reached an agreement with its creditors over the terms of the third bailout. There are minor details yet to be resolved.
The deal will likely unlock around 86 billion euros loans for Greece. The agreement has to be passed by parliament this week.
On the data front, German economic confidence deteriorated sharply to a nine-month low in August, survey data from the Mannheim-based Centre for European Economic Research or ZEW revealed.
The economic confidence index dropped unexpectedly by 4.7 points to 25 in August, the lowest score since November 2014. It was expected to rise to 31.9.
The Euro Stoxx 50 index of eurozone bluechip stocks lost around 1 percent, while the Stoxx Europe 50 index, which includes some major U.K. companies, was losing 0.78 percent.
The DAX index declined 1.7 percent.
Daimler and BMW declined 4 percent, while Volkswagen dropped 3.4 percent. Tire maker Continental lost 3.4 percent.
Manz declined more than 5 percent after reporting first-half results.
Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank were in negative territory.
Bucking the trend, Lufthansa and Lanxess made moderate gains.
Other markets in the region also fell.
The Asian stocks fell broadly as investors mulled the impact of China's abrupt devaluation of its currency on the global currency markets and the major economies, including the U.S., Europe and Japan.
In the U.S., futures point to a lower open on Wall Street. In the previous session, the Dow climbed 1.4 percent to end a seven-day losing streak, the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 1.2 percent and the S&P 500 advanced 1.3 percent.
Crude for September delivery fell $0.36 to $44.60 per barrel, while December gold rose $8.9 to $1113.0 a troy ounce.

[Swissquote] Greece Secures Third Bailout Deal
Greece Secures Third Bailout Deal
August 11, 2015 at 12:38
BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) - Greece reached an agreement with its creditors over the terms of the third bailout which would help nation stay afloat.
After intensive talks, external creditors namely the European Central Bank, the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund and the European Stability Mechanism finally wrapped up talks early Tuesday sealing a deal.
This would likely unlock around EUR 86 billion loans for Greece. The agreement has to be passed by the Greek parliament ahead of the meeting of Eurozone finance ministers on Friday.
It would help Athens to repay EUR 3.2 billion debt to the ECB, due on August 20.
There are minor details yet to be resolved, Finance Ministry spokesman Theodoros Mihopoulos said.
The key points of the deal were primary surplus targets and how to operate a new independent privatization fund. The agreement would also outline how to deal with its non-performing loans.
The primary deficit is expected to be 0.25 percent of GDP this year, but would turn to a surplus of 0.5 percent the next year.
Newspaper Kathimerini reported the draft deal includes 35 prior actions to be taken by Greece before the release of funds. It includes phasing out early retirement, a review of the social welfare system, changes in taxation of shipping firms and reform of the favorable tax treatments for the islands.
The Greek economic situation has strongly deteriorated over the last 8 months, making fiscal consolidation still quite a challenge in a country that is tired of austerity, Peter Vanden Houte, an ING Bank NV economist, said.

Goldman Sachs Reportedly Agrees To Pay $270 Mln To Settle MBS Lawsuit
August 2, 2015 at 00:40
NEW YORK CITY (dpa-AFX) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) has agreed to pay around $270 million to settle a lawsuit by investors who claimed the bank misled them about the safety of billions of dollars worth of residential mortgage-backed securities, Bloomberg reported citing people familiar with the matter.
The agreement hasn't been signed yet and is expected to be disclosed as soon as Monday, the report said.
Pension funds led by NECA-IBEW Health & Welfare Fund of Illinois reportedly said the bank gave investors misleading information about the appraisals and credit quality of home loans underlying the securities. The prices soon collapsed amid the 2008 financial crisis, the investors said.
In mid-July, Goldman Sachs said that during the second-quarter, it recorded $1.45 billion in net provisions for mortgage-related litigation and regulatory matter.

Bitcoin: Giappone, arrestato Karpeles numero uno di mt.gox
August 1, 2015 at 13:36
TOKYO (awp/ats/ans) - La polizia giapponese ha arrestato Mark Karpeles, numero uno di Mt.Gox, la piattaforma fallita di bitcoin, per il sospetto di aver gonfiato i suoi conti facendo leva sul presunto attacco hacker che ha gravemente danneggiato la reputazione della moneta virtuale online.
Secondo le accuse, Karpeles, 30 anni, avrebbe avuto l'accesso non autorizzato per ben due volte alla piattaforma a febbraio 2013 al fine di aumentare il saldo del suo conto in dollari per un totale di 1 milione. La polizia, secondo i media nipponici, continua a indagare per verificare se il cittadino di origine francese abbia illecitamente gonfiato il suo conto di bitcoin.
