Responsible macroeconomic news

In this context, the markets will take time, however, to analyze key indicators of the day. The growth in manufacturing activity in the euro zone accelerated more than expected in April, according to a second estimate of the PMI index published on Monday. The index rebounded to 58 points, against 57.5 points in March, the company said Markit.In France, growth in activity in manufacturing worsened last month, reaching its fastest pace for fifteen months, with beneficial effects on employment, according to Markit.

In the U.S., construction spending gained momentum, knowing their strongest growth in 11 months, 1.4%, according to data released Monday by the Commerce Department. In contrast, growth of manufacturing activity slowed for the second consecutive month in April, but less than expected, according to the index of industrial purchasing managers released Monday. This index, calculated by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), stood at 60.4 in April after already slowed to 61 guaranteed approval cash loans.2 in March, against 61.4 in February.The 72 analysts and economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast an index to 60.0.

Values ​​to follow

Altran: + 3.38% to 5.51 euros

Specialist in High Technology Council has exceeded its goals in the first quarter by signing up at double-digit sales (to 387.7 million, +10.1% at constant perimeter) and announced the sale of all its subsidiaries in Brazil.The group also said to anticipate a significant improvement in current operating profit in the first half compared to the same period last year.

Trigano: + 4.60% to 25.25 euros

For the period September 2010 to February 2011, the specialist for caravans and camper vans, achieved an operating profit of 14.7 million euros, against a loss of 0.8 million a year earlier.

Renault: +0.41% to 41.31 euros, Peugeot: 0.72% to 30.88 euros

Renault and Peugeot stand up well despite the announcement of a drop in their registrations by 19.1% and 21.1% respectively in April.

PPR: – 0.12% to 120.60 euros

The group will launch a friendly takeover Volcom priced at $ 24.50 per share.This friendly offer values ​​the company at 516 million euros.

Technip: – 1.261% to 75.20 euros

The group has won a contract worth 100 million euros for the engineering and equipment supply and construction assistance for the Horizon Oil Sands Project in Canada, according to a statement released Monday.

Vinci – 0.52% to 44.86 euros

The group wants to increase the share of concessions in its revenues and will therefore be a candidate for the privatization of regional airports when it is valid, said Xavier Huillard, CEO of construction and concessions, in an interview published Monday by Les Echos.The group will hold its general assembly in early afternoon today.

Fimalac: 30.45 euro balance

The group will take a 40% stake in Auguri Production, which organizes performances of several famous singers, such as Matthieu Chedid, Vanessa Paradis and Thomas Dutronc, according to a statement released Monday.

GDF Suez will publish its first quarter sales this afternoon.

After market: Areva, CAM, GFI Informatique, Steria and Bollore will publish their quarterly earnings.

Certainly, the financing of high-speed rail line between Tours and Bordeaux is a story full of twists. Latest episode, Vinci, selected in March 2010 to build and operate this path, calling for several weeks an extension to the original contract of 7.2 billion. Reportedly, the largest group of French construction and concessions asks his client RFF (Réseau Ferré de France) to pay a supplement of more than 60 million. He argues in particular the rising cost of raw materials.

Vinci does not speak on the subject, but if it goes in this direction is that it can hope to have the right for him. Last year it was agreed with RFF its price of $ 7.2 billion would remain the same until February 28, 2011. The final concession contract between the two parties should be signed before that date.But today, the famous agreement is still not signed. Obviously, RFF is not willing to pay that amount. Negotiations between the two parties are therefore likely to be rough.

These discussions inevitably evoke why preliminary steps essential for the signing of the contract were not completed. First, Vinci had to find loans to the tune of three billion. However, it has not yet achieved this financial closure. "It's complicated given the large number of bankers around the table," said Xavier Huillard mid-February, the group's CEO. The record is, indeed, complicated given the very high amounts of this operation, unprecedented in France.

Communities left behind

The state, meanwhile, was to finalize the contribution of local authorities to round. It was anticipated that 57 communities contribute $ 1.5 billion.Again, this agreement was expected in late February. But the diversity of local contexts has hampered this movement. Especially in the context of district elections. In addition, some communities (General Council of the Landes region of Poitou-Charentes …) have long refused to put their hands in the pocket for this project. Recognizing this, the Minister of Ecology and Transportation, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, left a deadline until April 15 to gather the latest signatures. This has raised the contribution of some as the General Council of Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

But a few days before the deadline, a final tally shows that 200 million missed the $ 1.5 billion. The main recalcitrant? Poitou-Charentes headed by Ségolène Royal, who has just committed to a loan repayable to the state 102 million. Suddenly, everyone wonders who will fill the hole.All eyes turn to the state. But experts say if the state could consider to supplement community failing to 100 million, nothing says it is ready to settle without flinching a note of 200 million.

No democratic government would dare to address and to his people. "If they have no bread, let them eat cake" Marie Antoinette would have said in the fall 1789. Similarly in the third century, the Chinese emperor Huida Jin replied to his subjects desperate to get rice, "Why do not they eat meat?" Such arrogance is more appropriate. But strangely, the board would surely relevant today. In our industrialized societies and hypertechniques, buns, indeed, increasing more slowly. They are sometimes even cheaper than home-made bread. It's the world upside down: the more a product is essential and its prices are soaring.And conversely, anything that is sophisticated, even a questionable value, such as electronic gadgets, continues to be cheaper.

The remark of Marie Antoinette, perhaps apocryphal – Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who died eleven years earlier, told the same thing to a "princess" in his Confessions – anticipates fully functioning modern economy. Core resources become scarcer and more expensive, but we regorgeons of superfluous goods.

Americans talk about "biflation"

This paradox is one of the structural features of globalization, as we said Xavier Timbeau, director of the OFCE (French Observatory of Economic Conditions). On the one hand, rare goods, whether oil, farmland, building land or water, whose supply is naturally limited.On the other, the industrial production capacity almost endless with the arrival of new players and technology advancement. The Treasury has calculated that the Bercy "the global labor supply has more than doubled between 1980 and 2006" on the market of international trade. And that's not going to stop. The UN considers that 'the world's population of working age will increase by 40% by 2050. " Even the experts the less catastrophic, as the International Energy Agency, never imagine that oil production is growing at this rate. It instead addresses his reflux.

This disparity between two types of products has already resulted in a dramatic upheaval in relative prices. In France, "the purchase price of vehicles" increased from just under 10% since 1998, according to Insee, while "fuel and lubricants' jumped 78%.These figures do make sense only when compared to the higher minimum wage that was 46.8% over the same period. "The acquisition of a car is less expensive, but it is more expensive to roll," says Xavier Timbeau. INSEE also considers that the cost of using a car weighs 2.4 times more than its purchase in the budget of a French household.

Across the Atlantic, the Americans, always eager to create new concepts, coined a neologism to express this reality in two speeds. They speak of "biflation", meaning the coexistence of inflation and deflation. "Inflation is What We Need, deflation is What We Want" on one side, sharp increases for all products required, which can not be happen in real life and on the other hand, price declines for purchases may be delayed.Housing and automobiles belong to this second category, because U.S. households, overburdened, are reluctant to use credit, which tends to depress their markets.

The "bi" is characteristic of periods of transition

The very term "biflation" was created in 2003 by Osborne Brown, a financial analyst from Phoenix Investment Group, at a time when there was already wondering if the U.S. economy did not run the risk of depression. The debate has rebounded in recent months with the monetary policy of the Fed chairman, Ben Bernanke. The head of the U.S. central bank says there is no inflation in the U.S., since the increase in consumer prices is just 1.1% over one year if one ignores food and energy.

But the price of gas soaring, now exceeding $ 4 a gallon (3.78 liters) in California, when they fell to $ 1.67 in December 2008, the worst of the crisis Financial. Heavily enough to amputate the purchasing power of households. Bernanke is also accused by the Republicans to fuel speculation on commodities, through its policy of cheap money too. Which penalizes savers, particularly pensioners, whose income depends largely on the level of interest rates …

France is also struck by the syndrome of "biflation", although unlike the U.S. housing market would rank rather camp in the inflationary exuberance for reasons of physical inadequacy of housing specific Hexagon . There is no doubt that the term "biflation" is spreading among us.In the press, swears by the "bimédia" to describe the juxtaposition of newspapers printed (print) and information sites on the Internet (Web). The "bi" is characteristic of periods of transition. Oh so painful periods, as at dawn and dusk, when no one knows distinguish between dog and wolf.

Reversal. After steady growth for at least fifteen years, and accérélée the early 2000s to offset the effects of 35 hours, the number of public hospitals have stabilized in 2008 (-0.06%). And for the first time they fell in 2009 -9800 full-time equivalent positions, according to official statistics and final unveiled this morning by The Daily of the physician.

This figure represents less than 1.3% of total hospital staff, which is almost 753,000 jobs. The administrative staff, technical workers and retreat, and those of carers are slightly higher (stability for nurses in particular).These efforts have helped reduce the deficit in hospitals increased from 686 to 512 million euros from 2007, according to figures announced by the then health minister, Roselyne Bachelot.

Each institution is legally independent and therefore free to manage its workforce, the rule of non-replacement of staff on two retiring – which has prevailed for the five-year state officials – does not apply to hospital . In this case, this reduction amounts to almost 10,000 jobs do not replace one out of four. Over five years, the numbers remain on the upside. And all these data are not doctors, accounted for separately: their number rose 3.2% year on year to $ 64,500.

The idea is gaining ground among the MPs who are working on the reform of broadcasting outside France (AEF). Christian Kert Didier Mathus and the two members co-rapporteurs of the mission on the AEF chaired by Michèle Tabarot (UMP) examine opportunities to "secure the international structure to France Televisions. "The public group could act as a reception center," commented Christian Kert cautious reminder that this idea had already been in development a few years ago before the report of Bernard Brochand not advocating the creation of a structure autonomous as it currently exists.

For the UMP deputy of the Bouches du Rhone, "this would be a more natural affiliation to Agence France Presse that the kinship with less obvious". In addition it would minimize a number of issues raised by Bercy interviewed by the Mission information.They have indeed outlined, in very diplomatic language, virtually impossible for shareholders is the state of having a clear idea of ​​the financial situation of the AEF. That because of the difficulties of current governance. "This explains that the contract objectives and resources with the State which is under construction since 2008 is still not finalized in 2011."

Spun, the AEF would clear up his accounts, but also its costs down, especially in terms of labor costs. MPs recall in effect, that "the two leaders of the AEF – Christine Ockrent and Alain de Pouzilhac – are as well paid as the president of France Televisions, while sizes of companies are not really equivalent. Moreover, it would mean that the Foreign Ministry would no longer directly on the frontline. This, according to people close to the dossier, would not displease him.If at this stage, Pflimlin Remy, president of France Televisions had not commented on this event, he would not, however, vetoed such a possibility. France Televisions is already a 25% shareholder of EuroNews, the European news channel.

But several issues remain pending. MPs do not rule out completely unravel the AEF and thus halt the merger France 24 and RFI. In such a case, France would be only 24 in the bosom of France Televisions while international radio remain independent unless it is linked to Radio France. It now remains whether the public broadcasting group, itself full internal reform, will be able to absorb a new entity.

Finally parliamentarians who know that time is running will not be content to appraise the mechanic of the AEF.They also intend to look at the editorial aspect of the chain and its developments abroad. All responses will be made in early July.

Latécoère takes matters into his hands. The aerospace supplier in financial trouble trying to convince the group of aerospace and defense company EADS to buy. Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Pierre Gadonneix, is expected to announce within a month "the buyer or at least an industrial solution" to relieve the group that collapses under a debt of more than 300 million, reports La Tribune.

For now, EADS does not seem interested in reconciliation as such with his counterpart. EADS would however be "ready to contribute to an industrial solution, which would maintain a die aerostructures in France," reports La Tribune. The group of defense and aviation would be able to "merge much (its subsidiary) Aerolia with Latécoère and hold (in a first time only) a stake in this together paperless payday loans."

EADS and multiplies conditions.The group says it will accept this approximation only if the "guarantee that the Strategic Investment Fund (ISF) is also involved in this operation with a minority and that one or more international investment funds take a significant share of all-Aerolia Latecoere.

The closing in the green on Wall Street and the increases, even timid, in Asia this morning, contend that the movement extends to other European markets: The London Stock Exchange climbed 0.81% to 5910.69 points. The Dax index featuring the Frankfurt Stock Exchange gained 0.97% on its side at 7145.90 points.

HSBC is less categorical and evokes a PMI remained virtually unchanged at 54.5 in January, against 54.4 in December.What sow doubt in the minds of investors, already disrupted by protests in Egypt.

On the foreign exchange market, the euro continued to rise above $ 1.37 on Tuesday after sharp rebound the previous day fueled by the figures for inflation in the euro zone that gave rise to speculation about a increase in the rate of the European Central Bank.
