Dhaka, Bangladesh (AHN) – Thousands of small investors took to the streets in Bangladesh Wednesday after the country’s stock index dipped to 4695.57 points, losing 168.72 points or 3.46 percent, at the close of trading. As the index tumbled inside, outside the Dhaka Stock Exchange building investors protesting retail stocks blocked traffic in the Motijheel, the commercial hub of the city. Riot police with bulletproof vests and tear gas shells stood guard to prevent the demonstration from becoming violent, said senior police officer Krishna Roy. Share prices dropped sharply on Wednesday even after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman clarified that no decision was taken in Monday’s cabinet meeting to stop [...] Continue Reading…

New York, NY, United States (AHN) – Texas Instruments is ditching the New York Stock Exchange for the NASDAQ. Effective Jan. 1, the Dallas-based semiconductor company will transfer its stock listing. Shares will continue to trade under the symbol TXN. A spokesperson for Texas Instruments said in a statement Thursday, “NASDAQ is home to many of the world’s best technology companies and is a natural fit for TI. NASDAQ itself has always been an early adopter of technology. This move will enhance our public visibility while offering shareholders cost-effective access to advance trading technologies.” NASDAQ replied, “We welcome Texas Instruments to NASDAQ. TI is one of the world’s most significant [...] Continue Reading…

NYC, NY, United States (AHN) – U.S. stocks rose Friday morning following two days of steep losses. Just after 9:30 a.m., the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 30 points, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose 2 points and the NASDAQ was flat. Giving stocks a slight boost Friday were comments from European Central Bank Chief Mario Daghi who criticized leaders for failing to follow through with comprehensive plans to resolve the sovereign debt crisis. Germany and France disagree on the role that the central bank should play. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has maintained that the ECB cannot act as a lender of last resort. European stocks stabilized Friday after [...] Continue Reading…

NYC, NY, United States (AHN) – The Dow Jones Industrial Average was better by 43 points Monday just before 10 a.m. following better than expected numbers from Caterpillar and a round of mergers and acquisitions news.

New York, NY, United States (AHN) – U.S. stocks started lower on Tuesday on concerns that a plan to expand the euro zone’s rescue fund may not be approved. Shortly before noon, the Dow, down 31 points, showed some gains and was up from earlier lows. The NASDAQ was up about 12 points and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index was off less than a point.

New York, NY, United States (AHN) – September couldn’t have ended soon enough for United States and global investors, and October has started on a sour note. The Dow Jones Industrial Averages finished the third quarter that ended Friday down 12 percent, finishing at 10,913.38, a loss of 1,500.96 points. Global stocks faced a much more gloomy fate, with French and German stock indexes both losing more than 25 percent of their value, their largest quarterly declines since 2002. Asians stocks suffered similar fates, also falling double digits. Even gold, usually a safe haven in times of economic and geopolitical turmoil, was the victim of a tumultuous September. After hitting a [...] Continue Reading…

New York, NY, United States (AHN) – Many investors and traders were saying TGIF and trying to make it five days in a row for gains. Stocks in the U.S. bounced up and down all day Friday. A short supply of economic data failed to sway markets one way or the other. However, eyes and ears were closely focused on comments from U.S. Treasury Timothy Geithner as he met with eurozone finance ministers and attempted to encourage solidarity among his European peers. The week is set to close with impressive gains despite a week of less than impressive news. Reports showed retail sales were weak in August. Thursday’s report from the Labor [...] Continue Reading…

New York, NY, United States (AHN) – U.S. stocks gained Monday in morning trading as mergers and acquisitions led markets higher. Gold prices fell as traders continued to take profits and turned their attention from the precious metal to more risk, buying beaten-down and battered stocks. Shorty before noon, gold prices were off about $23, bid at $1,739.70 an ounce. Minor liquidations have led the yellow metal lower following last week’s impressive gains and a new high of $1,813.79. While some analysts see a modest retracement in gold as a short-term appetite for global stocks emerge, the story remains the same for the precious metal. Bullish sentiment for the commodity remains [...] Continue Reading…

Windsor Genova – AHN News News Writer
Frankfurt, Germany (AHN) – The European Central Bank on Sunday decided to buy eurozone government bonds to deter a possible panic selling on Monday’s opening of stock market trading. The decision was made through a tense evening video conference of the European Union’s 17 central bank governors, who were divided on the issue of purchasing sovereign debts after bailing out Portugal, Ireland and Greece last week. The downgrading by ratings agency Standard & Poor’s of U.S. government debt over the weekend from AAA to AA+ apparently prompted the meeting. The announcement was made amid selloffs of Italian and Spanish government bonds last week, a sign the two countries may face [...] Continue Reading…

Jerusalem, Israel David Rosenberg – Efforts by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar to become leading world financial centers took a step back on Tuesday after MSCI Inc. – whose indices are used by international investors to decide how to allocate their capital – put off a decision on whether to upgrade the two Gulf countries’ status. MSCI said it would wait until December to decide if the countries’ stock markets met the criteria to be considered “emerging markets,” a rise in status from their current designation as “frontier markets.” The decision to wait six months and reconsider is unusual, as MSCI announces such changes once a year. At stake for the Dubai [...] Continue Reading…

Beijing, China (AHN) – China has agreed to end subsidies of its wind power manufacturers that use domestic parts instead of imports, which violate World Trade Organization (WTO) rules and give Chinese firms an unfair advantage over U.S. manufacturers. A complaint to the WTO filed by the United Steelworkers prompted China’s move, according to U.S. .Trade Representative Ron Kirk. The end of subsidies by China’s government provides a more level playing field for U.S. wind turbine manufacturers to compete with Chinese products. Kirk also criticized China for evading its transparency commitments by failing to provide the WTO with information about its subsidy programs on a regular basis. He said that because [...] Continue Reading…

Product Description Between 1995 and 2007, financial elites in more than a dozen western European countries engaged in a cross-border battle to create some twenty new stock markets, many of which were explicitly modeled on the American Nasdaq. The resulting high-risk, high-reward markets facilitated wealth creation, rewarded venture capitalists, and drew major U.S. financial players to Europe. But they also chipped away at the European social compacts between national governments and citizens, opening the door of smaller company finance to the broad trend of marketization and its bounties, and further subjecting European households and family businesses to the rhythms of global capital. Elliot Posner explores the causes of Europe’s emergence [...] Continue Reading…
