			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The New York Stock Exchange fell back slightly on Wednesday at the opening after a strong rebound. The Dow Jones lost 0.40% to 10,775 points in early trade and the Nasdaq, 0.72% to 2387 points. The New York Stock Exchange has signed a dramatic rebound Tuesday late in the session, erasing the last minute the heavy losses earlier as a result of fears of default of Greece. </p>
<p> Specialists Aurel BGC, the violent rebound index in the last fifteen minutes of the session on Wall Street is mainly due to the information leaked after the meeting of economic ministers of the European Union . European Commissioner for Economic Affairs has indeed mentioned in an interview with the Financial Times, a European plan to recapitalize banks.&quot;We share a growing opinion that we need a concerted, coordinated in Europe,&quot; he said, &quot;the capital of European banks should be strengthened to give them a safety margin and so reduce uncertainty &quot;in markets. </p>
<p> Degradation of the note of Italy by Moody&#39;s did not stop the European stock markets to begin the session in the green and should have little impact on Wall Street. </p>
<p> However, the pessimistic forecasts of the IMF could influence the trend.The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned on Wednesday that he did not rule out a recession in the world in 2012, facing a possible reversal of the activity. </p>
<p> According to analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald, the market is also beginning to show some resistance, &quot;because the corporate earnings season is about to begin, that most economic indicators were positively surprised.&quot; </p>
<p> The president of the U.S. central bank, Ben Bernanke, warned that employment growth could be &quot;sluggish&quot; for some time, but said the institution was &quot;ready to take additional measures&quot; to support the economy.Ben Bernanke, who testified in Washington before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, also called on parliamentarians to provide savings in the medium and long term, but to &quot;avoid taking fiscal measures may impede the ongoing economic recovery,&quot; and They were asked to complete the action of the central bank. </p>
<p> United States, on the macroeconomic front, hirings rose slightly in September in the private sector in the United States, according to the monthly survey of the consulting firm HR ADP <a href="http://pay-day-loan-s.com">pay day loan lenders</a><!-- . -->. Private companies have created 91,000 net jobs, in seasonally adjusted data, or 2% more than in August said ADP.Investors also expect the ISM at 16:00 in services and at 16:30 the traditional weekly report on oil stocks. </p>
<p> Oil markets, fell sharply Tuesday after the courses are starting to rebound on Wednesday morning. The Brent North Sea crude for November delivery gained 1.67 dollars to 101.46 dollars. A barrel of &quot;light sweet crude for November delivery was appreciating his side of 1.91 dollars to 77.58 dollars. On the foreign exchange market, the euro is trading at 1.3292 dollar per ounce of gold is trading at 1628 dollars. </p>
<p> BNY Mellon in the sights of New York
<p> The side of values, the State of New York filed a complaint Tuesday against the establishment of New York Mellon Bank (-3.67% to 18.13 dollars) to have overcharged transactions on foreign exchange markets and wants to recover nearly two billion dollars.For ten years, &quot;instead of providing the best interbank rates as he promised,&quot; the institution makes money &quot;by cashing the difference between the worst rate of the day, it charged its customers, and the price current market transactions at the time, &quot;said the office. </p>
<p> Hewlett-Packard (0.04% to 23.03 dollars) should take a decision on its PC division in late October, according to CEO Meg Whitman cited by Reuters. </p>
<p> Yum! Brands (-0.22% to 49.33 dollars), which owns chains Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC, whose figures stand out as a leading indicator of economic conditions in the United States, reported a third quarter benefit of $ 383 million above expectations. Sales rose 14% to $ 3.3 billion.CEO David Novak said: &quot;Our margins in China were up 7% in the quarter with a jump of 29% of sales, excluding the impact of changes. (&#8230;) This tremendous growth in sales, combined with our forecast high of 600 restaurant openings, makes us confident in the strength of our business model in China. &quot;For the full year, the group now its forecast 12% growth in profits before exceptional items. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> It is half a relief to senior citizens out of work. Labour Minister Xavier Bertrand said Monday on RMC and BFM TV partial restoration of the retirement equivalent allowance (REA) abolished on 1 January. At a cost of 1000 euros per month maximum, this aid was a replacement income for the unemployed who have reached the required number of quarters, but not the legal age of retirement. </p>
<p> Established in 2002, the EAR allowed these people, who generally have started working very early, wait until they receive a full pension. Its removal has the financial difficulties some 40,000 people who benefited and who have seen their incomes for many fall by half.Most do in fact perceive more than the specific solidarity allowance, amounting to 467 euros maximum. </p>
<p> &quot;Poor&quot;
<p> As the government had already hinted in September, the retirement allowance equivalent will be restored retroactively from July, but on narrower grounds. The device now called &quot;transitional allowance of solidarity&quot; will concern only those born between July 1951 and December 1953 or, as determined by the Department of Labor, about 11,000 people. It is designed primarily for senior citizens affected by the pension reform adopted last year, which pushes for four months a year the legal age of retirement, from 1 July.</p>
<p> The disbursements are therefore not the same: the retirement allowance equivalent relieve the coffers of more than 200 million euros a year according to the unions, when the new version should not cost more than 30 million. &quot;This is clearly insufficient, responded on Monday the association against the removal of the AER. It ensured the precarious for more than 30,000 people. &quot; &quot;We find that inuspportable employees with a full career are found in social minimum,&quot; adds Laurent Berger, in charge of employment at the CFDT. </p>
<p> The decree establishing this recovery, however, should be published in the coming weeks. The issue is even more sensitive than the unemployment of older workers continues to widen, inflating the number of employees who would have been entitled to the allowance equivalent withdrawal before its reform.According to the latest figures released by the Dares, 560,300 people over age 50 were unemployed in August, a number up 13.5% year on year. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The numbers are chilling. Since the crisis began in 2009, the number of people who have committed suicide has doubled in Greece, according to figures from the Ministry of Health echoed by the Wall Street Journal. The first five months of the year, there were even 40% of suicides and more over the same period last year. These figures are especially impressive that according to the Greek statistical authorities, the suicide rate in Greece was among the lowest in the EU between 1990 and 2009. </p>
<p> Unemployment, inability to repay its debts are as many explanations for these gestures of despair <a href="http://payday-loans-cheap.com">paydayloans</a><!-- . -->. According to figures from National Bank of Greece, the unemployment rate has doubled over two years, more than 16%. &quot;This is the illustration that rigor is not the solution to revive Greece, says Céline Antonin, an economist at the French Office of Economic Conditions.Rigor leads to recession and the social crisis. Asphyxiant in households (higher taxes, lower wages &#8230;), the country will lose an engine to boost growth. &quot; <br /> A general transport strike was called on Thursday in Athens. &quot;The Greek airport is not for sale&quot; it said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Constellium officials selected by employees angry at the site of Ham (Somme), where the group wants to remove aluminum processing positions 127 to 200, escaped in the night from Friday to Saturday, it was learned union source. </p>
<p> Leaders, sequestered since Friday morning, &quot;ran away&quot;, taking advantage of a &quot;diversion&quot; at the time of the visit of an officer of the gendarmerie about 2 o&#39;clock in the morning to rush into an opening cut in a grid Site of manufacture of aluminum profiles, told AFP Merel, CFTC trade union representative (majority). </p>
<p> Among them was the president of this event for the world Constellium, Paul Warton, the director for France, Hervé Pelcerf and two leaders of the site of Ham. A fifth person, human resources manager of the site originally chosen, was released in the meantime by the employees, saidMerelle. </p>
<p> &quot;Employees are disgusted by the attitude of management&quot;
<p> &quot;A police commander came to see us, it was a meeting, and during that time, on the other side of the factory, they made an operation by cutting the fence and access to Brush the path <a href="http://payday-nofax.com">payday loans</a><!-- . -->. They were out there, the union said. Employees are disgusted by the attitude of management, &quot;he said. </p>
<p> &quot;There is no dialogue.We received no concrete progress &quot;while the unions are demanding the continuation of the site and support a project of re-industrialization of the site, which received the value of an investment fund, but was rejected by Constellium, has he lamented. </p>
<p> Employees of the site of Ham, threatened by a social plan announced in February eliminating 127 jobs due to the shutdown of one of the two presses aluminum site, had enjoyed a visit Friday morning to Paul Warton the challenge of the future of their factory. </p>
<p> After a stormy meeting, the employees had left the factory had closed the gates with padlocks, locking the five officers who were at that time in the office.</p>
<p> Friday night, an attempt to mediate the sub-prefect had failed, the employees felt that the management proposal, namely to meet for negotiations Monday in a hotel about thirty miles away, was merely dilatory. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The Paris Bourse finally returns to the threshold of 3000 points. On Thursday, the CAC 40 closed up on 3.27% to 3045.62 points. Other European markets follow the same path: Milan ended up 3.56%, 2.11% from London, Frankfurt and Madrid from 3.15% to 3.63%. Wall Street was also in the green fence at the time in Europe. </p>
<p> Investors seem reassured by the willingness of European leaders to develop concrete actions to leave the eurozone its difficulties. Among them is the establishment of an agreement in principle to toughen the Stability Pact and fiscal discipline common in the EU, which provides for sanctions for countries that would leave too lax spinning their deficits. Another reassuring element: the willingness of German and French leaders to avoid an out of Greece in the euro area and the Greek government&#39;s determination to break the budget impasse.</p>
<p> Brazil and Russia have also said they were considering a support action. While international solidarity is organized to support Europe, Christine Lagarde since Washington recalled the need for world leaders to &quot;common front&quot; to avoid falling into a global recession will spare &quot;person <a href="http://businesscardsabc.com">business card</a><!-- . -->.&quot; </p>
<p> These statements on the euro area, combined with bargain hunting, did overshadow the release of mixed U.S. indicators (including the employment front) and European (growth on less-than-expected expected in the second half). </p>
<p> Side values, the banking sector was further illustrated by a sharp rise. Operators have particularly appreciated the decision taken by the central banks of the richest countries to take concerted action to expand the supply of banks in dollars.BNP Paribas is the largest increase in the ACC (13.38% to 30.50 euros). It is followed by Natixis (7.12% to 2.49 euros), Axa (6.49% to 9.89 euros), Credit Agricole (5.89% to 5.52 euros) and Societe Generale ( 5.44% to 18.33 euros). The area was not affected by the announcement of the massive fraud that hit UBS. </p>
<p> Another day value, LVMH, which climbed 3.44% to 115.65 euros after announcing choosing Jordi Constans, come to Danone, to succeed Yves Carcelle at the head of Louis Vuitton in 2013. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Deezer has won a round in the standoff between the site of listening to music online in the first world producer of music, Universal Music. For several months, Deezer available on their website from the stable of artists Universal, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, &#8230; Rihanna &#8211; without renewing his contract with the record company. The reason? Anxious to push users to pay for music, Universal Music wants to listen to a repeat title is limited to five, beyond what digital music lovers will have to pay. Stress too important to Deezer, which peaked in June, listening to music on the overall site to five hours per month. </p>
<p> Failing agreement, Universal Music France has turned to justice. For the subsidiary of Vivendi, Deezer is guilty of infringement. On Monday, the judge of the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Paris has decided otherwise and dismissed Universal.For justice, Deezer has &quot;sufficiently established in the interim stage the possibility that the company Universal Music France has committed an abuse of dominant position which has the effect of depriving the bans based on the copyright it claims &quot;. Thus, the court allows Deezer, which Orange is a shareholder at 11%, to continue to operate free catalog of Staff &#8230; &quot;In conditions that were not accepted by Universal,&quot; Vivendi&#39;s subsidiary storm, with Deezer attack now on the bottom. </p>
<p> Find a deal
<p> &quot;This decision clearly express the idea that we have several models on the French market for it to grow, said Axel Dauchez his part, Director General of Deezer. Furthermore, it can not be any different solutions for each producer. &quot;Satisfied with the decision of the court, he readily admits that the Universal catalog is &quot;essential to the existence of Deezer&quot; and he&#39;ll have to reach an agreement. A fortiori Deezer while preparing its international expansion. In 2012, France could be less than half the income of the start-up. It opened an office in England and is expected to announce the launch of its service in the coming days. The French experience is not foreign. In addition to tickets sold in packages Orange (1.1 million), claiming in effect Deezer 100,000 subscriptions sold directly from that listening is limited to 5 hours per month. &quot;With success, it is logical that we seek to replicate it abroad,&quot; said Axel Dauchez. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The anxiety begins to rise in the staffs of distributors. Since last May, in response to rising prices in hypermarkets and supermarkets, French households scratch some products of their shopping list. In late February, the central purchasing of hypermarkets and supermarkets had completed, in pain, their traditional annual tariff negotiations with food manufacturers and consumer products. They had had great difficulty in getting the increases they felt were necessary, given the soaring prices of raw materials. </p>
<p> Since March, distributors impact gradually increases on their labels. That month, prices in stores were up 0.67% over February, according to the institute Symphony IRI Group. Since then, a month to month, prices increase in radius each time by 0.50%.&quot;The return of inflation is beginning to be felt on the behavior of buyers in supermarkets,&quot; says Jacques Dupré, Director of Insight Symphony IRI Group, which analyzes the monthly receipts of all the major surfaces of the Hexagon . </p>
<p> The break in the trend is clear. Of the four months preceding the return of inflation on the shelves between November 2010 and February 2011, sales of food increased by 1.3%. And the next three months, between March and May, the increase slowed to only 0.4%. </p>
<p> Promotional pressure
<p> In April, the phenomenal sales of water, beverages, beer and ice cream, boosted by high temperatures, have allowed supermarkets to record an exceptional increase their volumes, which jumped this month to 4 3% compared to April 2010. But since May, purchases in supermarkets are falling over one year.Month after month, the trend continues. &quot;In July, the decline could even exceed 1%, says Jacques Dupré. Inflation continues to gain momentum. &quot; </p>
<p> The drop in purchases is certainly less intense than in 2008. At the time, soaring raw materials led to an increase of 4.5% of the labels in three months, which had resulted in a decline in overall consumption of around 2% throughout the year, twice as large as that observed in the last three months. </p>
<p> &quot;So far, arbitration is more about quantity than quality, said Jacques Dupré. Rather than falling in line, they buy a little less product. &quot;As in 2008, consumers are tightening their belts.But they give up to afford one or two products &quot;frivolous&quot; (see box) rather than turn to the variety of entry-level or private labels (PLs) for items they value. </p>
<p> Despite the general rise in prices, domestic brands continued to be more resilient than labels distributor, yet less expensive. Until May, growth was consistently higher, thanks to promotions, which have proliferated in the first half. </p>
<p> Promotional pressure from national brands was released in June &#8230; and then returned to the private label market share for the first time in eighteen months.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Greece must provide more work and results, said the French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, who put pressure on Athens in an interview with Austrian daily Der Standard to be released this Saturday. </p>
<p> &quot;Greece must deliver results and why the country must do more than during the last twelve months,&quot; said Christine Lagarde, whose name is mentioned as a successor to Dominique Strauss-Kahn to head the IMF. </p>
<p> Asked about her refusal of any debt restructuring, Christine Lagarde said: &quot;We already gave Athens more time to repay its loans in the euro area is already a concession.&quot; He continued: &quot;It is legitimate that we expected that Greece will make its share of work.&quot;</p>
<p> &quot;We do not want a state of bankruptcy&quot;
<p> The French Minister of Economy recognizes that the Greek government has done things, &quot;but there are still areas where things are moving too slowly&quot;, referring to privatizations. &quot;Either Greece delivers results, then we can imagine additional help.Otherwise there is the question of how Greece is ready to play the game for its own bailout, &quot;said ministre.Et further emphasized:&quot; What we certainly do not want, c &#39;is a state of bankruptcy, a default in Europe .. </p>
<p> While the Greek Government discusses the rise in unemployment generated by the austerity plan, the minister reminded the unemployment rate in Spain, according to her superior to that of Greece, but where &quot;the country still does its job, saved and managed to turn around. &quot; </p>
<p> Challenge to implement a program
<p> The rating agency Fitch, meanwhile, lowered on Friday noted the long-term debt of Greece to three notches. This is a new blow to Athens which also saw its borrowing costs on market reached a new record.Fitch lowered the rating of BB + Greek + to B, referring to the &quot;challenge&quot; for Greece that is the &quot;implementation of a program of structural reform and radical tax necessary to ensure the solvency of the state and the foundations of sustained economic recovery &quot;in the country. </p>
<p> &quot;New fiscal austerity measures are necessary&quot; to achieve that Greece&#39;s budget deficit target of 7.5% of GDP in 2011, said Fitch. The agency suggests including poor tax revenues and difficulties in implementing a privatization program. </p>
<p> Greece also saw its cost of borrowing on the markets at a record Friday, the rate of its ten-year bonds exceeding 16.7%. Sign that investors fear that Greece is not able to honor its debts. </p>
<p> The Greek prime minister said his country would repay its entire debt.&quot;We will refund the loans,&quot; said George Papandreou, whose country was granted last year a plan to help the EU and the IMF amounting to 110 billion euros to avoid it default. </p>
<p> But many observers believe that Greece will avoid a major restructuring of its debt, meaning pay creditors later or less than expected. But the European Central Bank precludes this scenario. </p>
<p> In the wake of Fitch, another rating agency S &amp; P has for its part lowered by one notch the rating of the long-term debt of the Crédit Agricole to &#39;A +&#39; cons &#39;AA-&#39; before, because of its exposure Greece.&quot;We believe that the French banking group Credit Agricole is particularly prone in Greece, because of the issue of solvency and the economic outlook&quot; of the country, particularly through its subsidiary Emporiki, S &amp; P said in a statement. </p>
