Oil prices ended the week below $ 100

Doubts seize the oil markets this weekend. On the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), the price of a barrel of light sweet crude for June delivery broke down the psychological barrier of $ 100 on Thursday. He confirmed his decline at the close on Friday. After a session of ups and downs, it closed at 97.18 dollars.

The downward trend is the same on the Intercontinental Exchange in London where a barrel of Brent North Sea crude for June delivery traded at 108.42 dollars, down 2.38 dollars compared to Thursday. These days, the decline was due to analysts' pessimism about the future numbers of jobs overseas.

Surprise contradictory indicators, the U.S. economy created more jobs than expected in April (244,000). Nevertheless, a barrel continued to decline in early trading, before settling at around 99.45 dollars in mid jouréne in New York.Job creation does not erase the bad macroeconomic indicators released in recent days, suggesting that the recovery remains fragile.

The day before, the numbers of firm ADP showed that job creation in the private sector in the United States slowed in April, well below forecasts of economists.

These announcements point to a decline in oil demand in a context of high oil prices. In addition, a continued rise in U.S. oil inventories, which should have been starting to fall a few months of the summer of large displacements.

In this context, the sharp rise in the dollar makes things worse.Thursday disappointed by the decision of the ECB not to raise interest rates next month, traders got rid of their euros. Result: the single currency, which was worth $ 1.49 yesterday, falling almost 2% to 1.4547 dollar. A situation which penalizes the purchase of dollar-denominated crude and thus rendered less attractive.

The Livret A could reach 2.5% in August

Encouraging news for investors. After an increase from 1 February – he was then increased from 1.75% to 2% – the rate of the Livret A could rise again this summer. According to economist Cyril Blesson interviewed by the daily newspaper Les Echos on Friday, is expected to reach 2.25% or 2.5% to 1 August.

To make this forecast, the founder of Cahiers de l'Epargne based on the mathematical formula used to determine the remuneration of the booklet and is applied twice a year (February 1 and August 1). Furthermore the level of interest rates, this calculation takes into account the increase in prices. However, for several months, inflation is back and the pressure on energy prices would feed into the next month.

Customers, equal access to Internet

Customers should they pay more for their Internet access if they over-consumption of online video? Providers of Internet access they can slow the rate of subscriber connections that download on the Internet? No and no, slice the report of the mission on the neutrality of the Internet and networks, introduced Wednesday by deputies Laure La Raudière (UMP) and Corinne Erhel (CBC) Economic Affairs Committee of the National Assembly.

Anxious to "protect the Internet" in its current form, they detail the nine principles that should ensure an open Internet or "neutral" for Internet users. Proposals trenches that contrast with the approach of a "traffic control" as proposed by the Minister of the Digital Economy, Eric Besson.

The cornerstone of this report is the inclusion in the law, the principle of net neutrality.Its definition could be slipped in the Postal and Electronic Communications: "Capacity for Internet users to send and receive the content of their choice, or use the services to run applications of their choice, connecting the equipment of their choice (…) with a transparent quality of service, adequate and nondiscriminatory. "

The report also estimates that only obligations of a judicial or security must justify blocking access to the Internet. Therefore, access to file sharing sites should not be blocked upstream. "The network would not be neutral if the peer-to-peer was degraded," say the MPs, because peer-to-peer is used both to pirate music or movies that innovation as Internet telephony Skype.This does not apply the law to hackers.

Participate in financing

It does not include the principle of network neutrality into law, it is still necessary authority to enforce it. This authority could be the policeman telecom Arcep or judge. The authority will be particularly responsible for preventing telecom operators to restrict access to Internet content. The report wants to "reserve the term Internet access to only deals with the principle of neutrality."Thus, a mobile operator could no longer sell "unlimited Internet packages" when consumption is limited for example 500 megabytes per month or if it refuses to install applications like Skype Internet telephony.

If equal access to the Internet and is ringfenced from the Internet side, it remains to ensure services for publishers – video platforms, social networks, connected TV applications. For the service providers, the report proposes to "further reflection" on their participation in the financing of the Internet and network investment. He claims such a precise study of the costs of increased traffic on the Internet.Where appropriate, the report recommends that a mechanism by which sites get the traffic (such as YouTube, Google, Facebook, Skype …) are involved in financing networks by paying a kind of right of way. "It would stabilize the cost sharing of the network … and could encourage smaller players content," the report said. But it's a story at the European level.

European banks are seeking 100 billion

And three. Europe prepares to submit its banks for a third round of stress tests. The objective is always the same: to reassure markets on the strength of the European banking system. And thus enable it to finance itself without the help of the European Central Bank.

On Friday, the European banking authority has announced details of the exercise, whose results will be announced in June, as promised, the device has been hardened by the previous album. This time for the 91 European banks subject to the "check-up cross bar higher than 5% of capital" hard ", even in stormy weather on real estate, sharp rise in rates or further increase in funding costs. Last July, investors have found the stress tests implausible.Moreover, four months after seeing their health bulletin buffered by the ECB, two Irish banks had called for help.

Last year, the stress tests had highlighted a need for equity of only 3.5 billion euros. Since then, Deutsche Bank, BBVA and other Standard Chartered has increased its capital by 10.5 billion, partly to fund acquisitions, partly to prepare for the increased requirements of Basel 3. But it is still far off. By adding the "hole" of 24 billion euros of Irish banks, the 50 billion that could cost the "cajas" in Spain, the 20 billion estimated on Italian banks, and even the 11 billion announced last week by Commerzbank the 100 billion euros of capital requirements is taken blithely.

Contain contagion

The announcements follow one another.Furthermore Commerzbank, Intesa Italian unveiled last week its intention to raise $ 5 billion one hour payday loan. These projects were well received. The markets want to believe that four years after the explosion of the subprime credit bubble in the U.S., the continent is poised to contain the contagion. Governments, in fact, began to worry about the soundness of their banking system. Permeability between banks and the U.S. has never been more evident. Last winter, the woes of the Anglo Irish Bank and other Bank of Ireland Ireland compelled to seek help from Europe and the IMF.Conversely, it is under pressure from his own bank, choked by the degradation of the Portuguese sovereign risk, that Lisbon was forced last week to accept the lifeline.

Typically, Portugal's decision could put pressure on Spain, next on the list of countries deemed sensitive. It did not happen at this point. Madrid took the lead in addressing, since January, the restructuring of its savings undermined by the housing crisis.As for Italy, the governor of the central bank has conveyed the message that he wanted much better capitalized institutions.

Then, build equity far? The gap between, on one hand, the high solvency ratios – above 10% – set by the Swiss regulator, which the UK could follow suit and the other, the Germans and French, that warn against the risk of escalation. The debate is far from complete.
