US, China to hold top-level trade talks
AFP,
The United States and China hold cabinet level trade talks in California this week amid tensions over China's massive export surplus and worries about the slowing global economy.
The talks come in the sunset of George W. Bush's Republican presidency that has seen trade disputes with China over a host of issues, ranging from copyright infringement, automobile parts and investment barriers to toxic toys and pet food.
The latest attempt to get the World Trade Organization's Doha Round of negotiations off the ground foundered in July, leaving the world's largest economy and Asia's superpower squared off in their corners.
US Secretary' of Commerce ( arlos Gutierrez and US lYade Representative Susan Schwab, the lead negotiator at the July Doha talks in Geneva, will host Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan for the one-day meeting Tuesday.
Gutierrez and Schwab will co-chair the talks with Wang, who is responsible for Chinese economic and trade matters. US Secretary of Agriculture Edward Schafer will also participate in the session.
The talks will focus on three main issues - "market access, intellectual properly rights and transparency," Commerce Department spokeswoman Ann Marie Hauser told AFP late Friday.
EU finance chiefs still see
no end in sight to crisis
AFP, Nice. France
The crisis roiling the financial sector will probably grind on for some time, but European banks should be able to avert serious trouble, EU finance chiefs said.
US investment bank Lehman Brothers’ fight for its very survival over the weekend highlighted just how fragile the sector remains more than one year after the crisis first broke.
"Everybody who was saying for tire last few weeks that the light was at the end of the tunnel have had the surprise of finding a locomotive bearing down on them," said German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck on Saturday.
With no end in sight to the crisis, the stability of the financial sector figured high on the agenda of a two-day meeting of EU finance ministers and central bankers in the French Riviera city of Nice.
"This financial crisis will be on our agenda for a great number of months to come," Luxembourg Finance Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said on Friday after the ministers debated Europe's preparations for banking sector turbulence.
"I am really convinced that we are not at the end of the financial crisis.” said Juncker, who chairs the Eurogroup of finance ministers from the 15 euro countries and is also Luxembourg's premier.
Fed likely to hold fire amid market, economic turmoil
AFP, Washington
The Federal Reserve is likely to maintain its stimulative interest rate policy on Tuesday in the face of renewed market turmoil and signs that the US economy remains in a funk, analysts say.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) headed by chairman Ben Bernanke is widely expected to maintain the federal funds rate at 2.0 percent, where it has been since April 30, even though that is below the pace of inflation.
The panel also is expected to shift gears, backing away from a pledge to lift interest rates at some point soon, despite hints since June that inflation is its main concern.
"The Fed clearly cannot raise rates -- that would send the economy and financial markets into a tailspin," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
"The market is pricing in a minimal chance of a rate cut, but I think that's fairly unlikely," Guatieri said.
China vows better food safety after baby milk scandal
AFP, Beijing
China vowed Sunday to improve its food safety supervision after confirming 432 babies suffered kidney stones and at least one died after drinking contaminated milk powder.
An efficient system should be set up to combine efforts of various ministries and bring food safety supervision "to a new level," Xinhua news agency reported, citing Health Minister Gao Qiang.
Gao said Saturday that kidney stones had been found in 432 babies nationwide since China was rattled by its most recent product safety scandal.
The number was sharply up from figures reported earlier which put the number of affected babies at about 150, with one dead. Kidney stones are rare in babies and can block their urinary tracts.
The figure was likely to rise further with the Beijing Evening News reporting Sunday that six more babies had been admitted to hospital with kidney stones.
