Wall Street falls as a debt default day edges closer

The relatively relaxed attitude Wall Street has taken so far in the talks that began two months ago is now replaced with anxiety growing with the approach of the deadline August 2 Photo: AP

With no sign of progress in the round of talks parallel debt to the Capitol, investors moved quickly to reduce their exposure to shares in what is shaping up to a heavy it four trading days. The & S P 500 fell 10.66-0. 81pc - 1,305.48, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 92,34-0. 74pc - to 12,387.39.

Despite a sweep of the largest companies in America, including Coca-Cola, Apple and Goldman Sachs, reports of results this week Wall Street is now riveted on the negotiations aims to raise the ceiling of the debt of $ 14.3 billion (8.9 billion to £) America.

Markets "continue to have saw long Exchange as new macro continue to confuse and concern investors", said Mary Ann Bartels, a strategist at Bank of America, Merrill Lynch. "Investors are naturally maintain a low profile."

The relatively relaxed attitude that Wall Street has taken so far in the talks that began two months ago is now replaced by concern at the approach of the date limit growing August 2. U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner has warned that if the ceiling of the debt - or requirement of the country the legal loan - was not raised in two weeks and then the Government has more will be able to pay all his bills.

With some politicians in Congress by minimizing the importance of a temporary default on its debts, Monday rating agency Fitch said that risks of losing America's precious AAA credit rating for the first time in its history. "Agreement on a credible fiscal consolidation strategy will secure the status of"AAA"U.S.," said Fitch. "Not inevitably undermine the sovereign credit profile." The warning echoed those made by Standard & Poor and Moody last week.

On Wall Street, it was the banks, the first victims of the losses. Shares of Bank of America, the countries largest lender collapsed 2. 8pc, while the shares of Citigroup fell to 1. FP7. The new, Friday evening, that eight banks were not new trials of stress by financial regulators of the already shaken nerves frayed continent.

The President Barack Obama and the Republicans and Democrats in Congress are in the paradoxical situation to try to reach a long-term agreement on the reduction of the deficit as a condition for the lifting of its debt ceiling.

After winning control of House of representatives during the elections last November, Republicans insist spending reduction must bear the burden.

The White House and the Democrats are adamant that the closure of tax for companies and the richest in America must be part of the agreement.

While the S & P and the Dow Jones was cast, prize of the American Government bonds rose Monday as investors relies still on them as a refuge for the debt crisis deepening of Europe.

The yield, which moves in the opposite direction to bond prices, dropped to 2 89pc, near its lowest level this year.

Goldman Sachs shuns the BRICs for Wall Street

Goldman insists that the longer-term super-boom remains healthy in both the BRICs and a broader group of countries, or "N-11", led by South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, Turkey and Egypt.

Pension funds and insurers in the rich countries have invested just 6.5pc of their $60 trillion (£38 trillion) of combined wealth in new markets, leaving them vastly misaligned against the geography of world growth. "We are only in the first innings of an undeniable structural story over the next two decades," said Mr Moe.

Japan's state-run GPIF, the world's biggest pension fund with $1.4 trillion in assets, is only now acquiring a change in its mandate allowing it to venture outside the mature economies.

First, however, China must extricate itself from a credit boom. Mr Moe said the outcome is hard to judge since Beijing is resorting to opaque instruments to fight inflation – 5.1pc and rising – rather than relying on transparent instruments of interest rate rises and currency appreciation.

Goldman expects China to rebound strongly in the second half of the year, distancing itself from the ultra-bearish views of those such as hedge fund star Jim Chanos betting that Beijing will prove unable to engineer a soft landing from its property bubble.

The surprise for 2011 will be a torrid recovery in the US, with growth of 3.4pc to 3.8pc, as the country confounds critics and averts a post-bubble "Lost Decade". Surging earnings will push the S&P 500 index of US stocks to 1500 by the end of the year.

Even Japan will outshine China, pulling out of its deflation trap, with earnings growth of 23pc this year and 22pc in 2012. Kathy Matsui, Goldman's Tokyo strategist, said Japanese equities may be the best way to play the Pacific growth story since the average price-to-book ratio is 1.0, compared to 1.9 for China and the rest of emerging Asia.

She said Japanese companies are sitting on a "Mount Fuji" of cash reserves worth $867bn to be unleashed on share buy-backs, dividends and a takeover blitz once the deflation danger recedes.

Jeff Currie, Goldman's commodity guru, said global equities will beat resources for the next few months. Gold may yet push yet higher to $1,650 an ounce before peaking but vertigo sets in at these giddy levels. "Gold is pricing sovereign default risk but we see the macro-environment on a much more solid footing," he said.

Mr Currie told clients to remain "long gold" until the US Federal Reserve winds down quantitative easing and prepares for a tightening cycle. There is a near-perfect correlation over time between negative real interest rates and rising gold prices.

With real rates near minus 1pc in Europe, minus 2pc in the US and minus 3pc in the UK, a wash of global liquidity is fuelling the bullion boom – along with purchases by the central banks of China, India, and Russia – but watch out when the worm turns.

The moment that OECD central banks start to raise rates in earnest could switch the process into rapid reverse. Mr Currie has compiled a chart of real gold prices based of Bank of England records dating back to 1260, when Pope Alexander IV was cranking up the Inquisition and Henry III was trying to reverse the Magna Carta in England.

It shows that prices are the highest they have been at any time for the last 440 years, other than a brief episode in the early 1720s, and the parabolic spike of 1980, which collapsed abruptly.

The "Soviet bloc" of CCCP – crude, copper, cotton, and platinum – offers a more enticing balance of risk and reward. "All of these commodities are supply-constrained. The world can't produce enough of them, and nor can China." Mr Currie said.

Are the vendors because on the market and at one point, that the future Nikkei fell to three hundred points within ten minutes. »

Markets had been agitated throughout the day of the crisis in the power plant nuclear Fukushima damaged by the earthquake in the Japan has intensified.

Guenther Oettinger, Minister of energy of the European Union, said the European Parliament: "In the next few hours it could be more catastrophic events, which could pose a threat to the life of the inhabitants of the island."

He said the nuclear site is "effectively out of control:"cooling systems have not worked, and as a result, we are somewhere between a disaster and a major disaster.""
