Oil prices fall amid uncertainty over US financial bailout
Al;P, A'rw York
Oil prices fell Friday amid uncertainty over the fate of a proposed US government bank bailout mired in wrangling between the White House and Congress.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for November delivery, fell 1.13 dollars a barrel to close at 106.89 dollars.
In London, Brent North Sea crude for November shed 1.06 dollars to settle at 103.54 dollars.
President George W. Bush's administration and lawmakers struggled Friday to hammer out a compromise over a 700-billion-dollar plan to buy tainted mortgage-related assets from financial firms.
A deal that appeared on the verge of happening had lifted oil prices by more than two dollars Thursday, but uncertainty returned after the market closed when the would-be deal disintegrated in the face of a revolt from Bush's own party in Congress.
"Prices were knocked lower when a tentative plan to thaw out the nation's credit markets fell apart," said Mike Fitzpatrick, analyst at MF Global.
Bush. lYeasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke argue that the massive package is urgently needed to avert a wider collapse of the economy.
Fortis battles liquidity concerns
AFP, Brussels
Belgian-Dutch financial group Fortis battled Friday to dispel liquidity concerns hammering its shares, insisting there was "not a single chance" of failure as it replaced its chief executive.
After two days of steep slides in its share price, the banking and insurance group hastily arranged a news conference to assure clients that their deposits were safe and that it had ample funding.
Despite the assurances, shares in the group only fell further, chalking up a loss of nearly 21 percent Friday -- down 71 percent since the beginning of the year.
Fortis late Friday said it had replaced its chief executive, Herman Verwilst, with Filip Dierckx, currently head of the banking division.
"He will formally be appointed CEO after approval by a general shareholder meeting to be announced in due course," the company said in a statement.
"As of today and up until this time, Filip has been granted full CEO authority. "
Just hours after Verwilst had told journalists there was "not one single chance" of the company going bankrupt, Fortis announced his replacement and expressed confidence in Dierckx's ability to "restore trust and confidence in the company.”
Bradford & Bingley may be nationalised
AFP, London
British mortgage lender Bradford & Bingley, which has been hit by a housing downturn and weakness in the wider economy, maybe nationalised, newspapers reported Saturday.
The Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail newspapers both reported, citing unnamed sources, that government ministers were considering a nationalisation of the troubled bank, little more than a year after the collapse of Northern Rock, which was eventually nationalised earlier this year.
A spokesman for the bank told the Telegraph, however, that it was "fully funded and we are one of the strongest capitalised banks in the UK."
"As far as the febrile speculation goes, we do not comment on market rumours."
Bradford & Bingley announced on Thursday that it was cutting 370 jobs, mainly at its mortgage processing centre near London, in a bid to save 15 million pounds (18.9 million euros, 27.8 million dollars).
Whistle blows for German rail privatisation
AfP, Berlin
Germany's rail operator announced the timetable Friday for its long-awaited stock market listing next month, one of the biggest in Europe in 2008, despite a "tense" situation on financial markets.
In what will be the last major privatisation in Europe's biggest economy, Deutsche Bahn will offer to investors a 24.9 percent stake in its main freight and passenger train activities unit, known as DB Mobility Logistics.
But the company, which has stakes in several foreign passenger and freight operators outside Germany including in Britain's Chiltern Railways, will retain full control of the country's railway network and train stations.
Chief executive Hartmut Mehdorn will kick off a two-week "investor roadshow” designed to attract buyers for the shares on October 13, when the period for private investors to sign up will begin, and the shares will trade for the first time on October 27.
