Fed Action Spurs Broad Rally; S.&P. Rises 1.6%

09/14/2012 09:13

 

The Federal Reserve’s new effort to bolster the economy and support the housing market was greeted enthusiastically on Wall Street on Thursday, but mortgage experts were already doubting whether the benefits would be passed along to American homeowners.

For many investors, the most important element of the stimulus plan announced on Thursday was its sweeping nature. The Fed pushed out its window for lower interest rates and set out a new program to buy $40 billion of mortgage-backed bonds each month until the economy improved. The open-ended move was more than many investors had anticipated and helped spur a broad rally that strengthened as the day went on.

The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index gained 23.43 points, or 1.6 percent, to close at 1,459.99, its highest level since the last day of 2007. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 206.51 points, or 1.6 percent, to close at 13,539.86. The Nasdaq composite index gained 41.51 points, or 1.3 percent, to close at 3,155.83.

The Fed’s emphasis on mortgage-backed bonds was a shift from recent stimulus efforts that focused primarily on buying Treasury bonds. The announcement pushed the interest rates on these bonds down on Thursday. The Fed chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, indicated in his news conference that the lower rates on mortgage bonds could allow banks to offer lower home loan rates. That could, in turn, encourage more construction and economic activity. Banks that offered mortgages were among the biggest gainers on Thursday, with Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase leading blue-chip stocks up.

But with interest rates already hovering near record lows, there is skepticism about whether the Fed’s plan will push rates down further or make it any more likely that Americans will return to the housing market.

“The program today is more likely to affect investors than the real economy,” said Dan Greenhaus, the chief global strategist at BTIG, an institutional brokerage. “Another easing program is only one part of what might be necessary to get the U.S. economy out of the rut in which it finds itself.”

The market’s gains added to three months of steadily rising share prices in the United States, which have brought the benchmark index up over 16 percent from early June. The biggest increases have come since the European Central Bank announced aggressive steps to end the Continent’s debt crisis.

In the United States, signs of economic cooling have been rising. The latest evidence came on Thursday, when the Labor Department announced that the number of people filing for unemployment benefits rose by 15,000 last week.

But the slowdown helped build expectations that the Fed would take action at the two-day meeting that ended on Thursday, and Mr. Bernanke did not disappoint.

“Despite the fact that the Fed telegraphed that it would do something, they managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat and surprise a little bit,” said Leslie Barbi, the head of the fixed-income portfolio at RS Investments.

The Fed’s announcement is a major new step in its evolving effort since the crisis to stimulate the economy, and it was quickly christened QE3. The first few rounds of so-called quantitative easing spurred market rallies that went on for months, often until the bond buying stopped. But each new program has had less of an impact than the one before it.

The path forward is not a complete departure from the Fed’s previous efforts. Until the end of the year, the central bank will continue buying longer-dated Treasury bonds and swapping them for short-term Treasury notes in what has been called Operation Twist. Mr. Bernanke also left the door open to more Treasury bond purchases. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond, which moves in the opposite direction from bond prices, fell to 1.72 percent from 1.76 percent late on Wednesday.

But the emphasis is now shifting to mortgage bonds. Banks and government-sponsored agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac package new mortgages into bonds, which they sell to investors. When demand for the bonds rises, which translates into lower interest rates on them, banks can offer homeowners lower interest rates on their underlying mortgages.

The Fed’s first stimulus program, back in 2009, also focused largely on purchases of mortgage-backed bonds. Back then, the housing market was still lifeless and investors were unwilling to touch the bonds. The Fed’s effort is credited with getting the market off the ground at its lowest point. But after that program ended, the Fed moved its attention away from mortgage bonds.

Mr. Bernanke said on Thursday that the housing market had showed signs of turning around in recent months but continued to be “one of the missing pistons in the engine here.”

“To the extent that we can support housing, I think that would be a very useful outcome,” he said.

Another potential benefit of lower mortgage rates would be increased refinancing, which would free money to be spent in other parts of the economy.

Scott Simon, a mortgage bond expert at Pimco, said the focus on mortgages was likely to do more for ordinary Americans than the purchases of Treasury bonds in previous stimulus programs.

But Mr. Simon and other mortgage investors said several obstacles stood between the Fed and helping homeowners. One problem is that in recent months, investors have been eager to buy mortgage bonds, driving down rates on the bonds, but banks have not passed along the lower rates to their customers.

More broadly, housing analysts say the already record low interest rates have been only moderately successful at tempting potential home buyers back into the market. 

Playoff Drama Reigns in Reshuffled Format

09/13/2012 17:01

 

If a team wants to be in playoff contention in mid-September, a viable strategy may be to give up in July.

The Oakland Athletics, like the Orioles, have shown a flair for late-game wins that at some point has to get in the heads of their opponents.

That is what the Philadelphia Phillies did on July 31 when they traded away Hunter Pence and Shane Victorino in separate deadline deals. Despite that, the Phillies were three games back in the National League wild-card standings after winning on Wednesday evening. The Milwaukee Brewers gave up even earlier, letting Prince Fielder leave as a free agent before the season started and trading the team’s best pitcher, Zack Greinke, on July 27. They were also three games out after winning on Wednesday night.

The thought of the Phillies making the postseason may seem comical, but with a seven-game winning streak the team is clearly entertaining the idea.

“You hear it’s a cliché that this is what you play for, for September, but it’s true,” shortstop Jimmy Rollins said after a win Tuesday over the Miami Marlins. “We have a lot of flags but we don’t have a wild-card flag, so this would be a good time.”

Forty-five years ago, only two teams qualified for postseason play each year, but through Tuesday, 18 of the 30 teams were within five games of the 10 available postseason positions. If Major League Baseball was hoping to create parity through chaos in the playoff races, adding a second wild-card team in each league this year accomplished that goal.

The Phillies and the Brewers should not start printing playoff tickets; overcoming their deficits in the remaining weeks, especially with so many other teams having to fail, will be difficult. But the notion that two teams that sent up a white flag are hanging around a pennant race is a sign that meaningful baseball will continue to be played late in the regular season under the new playoff format, in which a third of the teams advance.

The list of contenders even includes two teams, the Pirates and the Orioles, that are trying to attain their first winning seasons since the Internet became mainstream. The Orioles are nearly a lock, needing to go just 2-18 for their first winning season since 1997. The slumping Pirates have a tougher road, needing to go 10-10 to end their streak of losing seasons, which began in 1993.

The only team officially eliminated through Tuesday was the Houston Astros. With the worst record in the major leagues, 45-97, the Astros were 40 1/2 games out of first place. In soccer they would be facing relegation to a lower division, but instead, in a move unrelated to their record, they will head to the American League West to balance the leagues at 15 teams each.

Taking a look around the playoff races shows one thing: Chaos reigns. Major League Baseball will have to hope that where there is chaos, there is interest.

Division Races

The three division races in the N.L. are the only places of tranquillity this season. Barring a collapse that only Mets fans would find reasonable, the Nationals, the Reds and the Giants will win their divisions. Despite that, each team has had some drama.

The Nationals shut down Stephen Strasburg, though the move was not as dire as many presumed, considering he has been the team’s third-best starting pitcher behind Jordan Zimmermann and Gio Gonzalez.

The Reds also shut down a young phenom, closer Aroldis Chapman, hoping it helps him regain some lost velocity. Having traded for Jonathan Broxton and already having Logan Ondrusek, Jose Arredondo and Sean Marshall, the team should be fine without him.

The Giants lost outfielder Melky Cabrera to a 50-game drug suspension, which will keep him out through the first week of the playoffs, but they have ridden the hot bat of Buster Posey to a commanding lead over the Dodgers despite the blockbuster deal Los Angeles completed last month to acquire three of the Boston Red Sox’ most expensive players.

The A.L. is nowhere near as clear-cut. The Orioles and the Yankees remained tied for the lead in the East on Wednesday, three games ahead of the Rays; the White Sox were two games ahead of the Tigers in the Central; and the Rangers were three and a half games ahead of the Athletics in the West.

Seven teams are vying for three spots, with each team believing it can fall back on winning one of the two wild-card berths.

Wild Cards

The addition of the second wild card is where things get crazy.

In the N.L., the Atlanta Braves were safely in front for the first wild card, five and a half games ahead of their nearest competitor, the Cardinals. But the Cardinals had a half-game lead over the newly rich Dodgers, and a two-and-a-half-game lead over the Pirates. Slumps by those three teams could put the Phillies or the Brewers in the playoffs despite their intentions to play for the future.

The A.L., meanwhile, is a free-for-all. The Rangers appear safely on the way to the playoffs, either as a division winner or a wild card, but nothing else is guaranteed. The pool of teams to fill out the other five spots includes the Yankees, the Orioles, the Rays, the White Sox, the Tigers, the Athletics and the Angels.

The Orioles and the Athletics may seem strange fits among that list of high-profile and deep-pocketed teams, but both clubs have shown a flair for late-game wins that at some point has to get in the heads of their opponents.

The Perfect Storm

The Orioles and the Yankees were not only tied atop the A.L. East entering Wednesday’s games, but they were also tied for the second wild-card spot, creating a situation in which they could play a 163rd game to break the divisional tie and then meet again in the American League Championship Series.

Under tiebreaker rules, if the Yankees and the Orioles finished tied for the division and the wild-card lead, the loser of the tiebreaker game would still advance to the wild-card game.

Billy Beane, the general manager of the Athletics, used to cite the random nature of a five-game series for his team’s failures to advance beyond the division series, but the Yankees could end their regular season on Oct. 3, play a division tiebreaker game against the Orioles on Oct. 4, play a wild-card game against the Athletics on Oct. 5 and start a division series against the White Sox on Oct. 7. If both the Yankees and the Orioles were to win their division series, they would face each other in the A.L.C.S.

It may seem like a comedy of errors, but this appears to be baseball’s new normal.

Giants Bomb in Opening Defense of Super Bowl Title

09/07/2012 10:09

 

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Super Bowl champion New York Giants certainly didn't pick up where they left off.

Instead of playing like the team that went on a six-game winning streak in capturing their second title in five seasons, the Giants played a dismal game on both sides of the ball in dropping a 24-17 decision to the Dallas Cowboys in the kickoff to the NFL season on Wednesday night.

"It's very, very frustrating," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "It's hurts to come in and be playing a game at home, a game of this nature, the opener of the season and the way we played, we certainly are capable of playing better."

The Giants gave up 433 yards, allowed Cowboys No. 3 receiver Kevin Ogletree to have a career night with eight catches for 114 yards and two touchdowns and saw running back DeMarco Murray scamper for 131 yards, many on runs in which he seemed stopped at the line of scrimmage.

While Eli Manning passed for 213 yards, the Giants offensive line could not protect him and never got the running game going, except for a couple of plays. Victor Cruz dropped passes and touted rookie running back David Wilson lost a fumble with New York near the Dallas 30.

"We definitely stumbled out of the gates, no doubt about that," said linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka, who failed to wrapped up Murray at the line of scrimmage on a run that turned in a 48-yard gain. "The good thing is we see them again and we have a lot of football left to play. For us to get down on ourselves is not going to be effective or productive. What we have to do is look at it with an open mind and say 'OK, take our lump, look at the film and say I messed this up and make sure those issues don't come back during the season."

The Cowboys played like a champion in gaining a measure of revenge against the team that beat them out for the NFC East title on the final day of last season.

They were ready for 2012 and so were the replacement officials, who barely were a story in a game that wasn't as close as the final score.

The win won't make up for the New Year's Day loss that ended the Cowboys' season and sent the Giants on their way to the NFL championship. It sure could provide impetus for this season, though, particularly with the discovery of Ogletree.

Romo passed for 307 yards and threw two of his three touchdowns to Ogletree.

Dallas' defense frustrated Manning and his offense with three sacks and a half-dozen pressures, all before the largest crowd at MetLife Stadium for a Giants game. The 82,287 saw the defending league champs lose in the now-traditional midweek kickoff contest for the first time in nine such games.

When the Cowboys were threatened late — a spot they often have folded in against the Giants — Romo hit Ogletree for 15 yards on third down to clinch it. That gave Ogletree 114 yards on eight catches; he had 25 receptions for 294 yards and no scores entering the game.

"We're judged by winning and losing so the best thing was going on the road and getting a win," Romo said. "Not only a win but it was against a division rival and obviously against the world champs. I don't know how many times teams go in and beat them in that first game of the year. It's a tough atmosphere, a tough game. Our team grinded it out and did good."

The Cowboys' big-time receivers — Miles Austin, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten — were eclipsed by Ogletree, who sure didn't resemble a backup. In the first half, he had five catches for 47 yards and a TD, and broke free for a 40-yard reception early in the third quarter.

Ogletree thoroughly fooled New York's top cornerback, Corey Webster on his long score to start the second half — the kind of big play the Cowboys couldn't make enough of in that Jan. 1 showdown that ended their season. And they got another huge play from Murray, who broke two tackles in the backfield, scooted down the right sideline for 48 yards, and set up Dan Bailey's 33-yard field goal for a 17-10 lead through three quarters.

After Manning connected with former Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett for a 9-yard touchdown with 2:36 remaining, Dallas never gave the ball back. 

 

Assaults, an orgy - China's Communist Party battles image problem

09/05/2012 09:47

 

 (Reuters) - China has suspended an army officer after reports he assaulted a flight attendant spread like wildfire on the Internet, fuelling growing outrage against the misbehavior of some government and Communist Party officials.

China's leaders want to project a good image ahead of a once-a-decade leadership transition later this year, but the Party is being hurt by reports of officials abusing their position. A series of corruption scandals, a reported orgy as well as incidents involving the offspring of senior leaders have not helped.

On Tuesday, the official Xinhua news agency said Fang Daguo, a military official from the southern city of Guangzhou, had been suspended after he and his wife, both smelling of alcohol, had an altercation with flight attendant Zhou Yumeng over the couple's carry-on luggage.

Xinhua initially said a preliminary investigation found Fang had apologized but not assaulted Zhou.

The flight attendant published photos of her bruised arms and torn uniform on the Twitter-like microblog Sina Weibo, sparking a storm of angry comments.

"Fang Daguo, you have shamed China in front of the world," wrote one blogger.

After the photos published by Zhou spread online, the local government was investigating further and had suspended the official, Xinhua said.

The Global Times, a popular tabloid owned by the Communist Party mouthpiece, the People's Daily, said reports of such incidents were spreading like wildfire online as conflict between citizens and local officials was increasing.

"It's hard to improve officials' public image if they fail to stand up to public scrutiny and remain passive in communication with the people," the paper said on Sunday.

The party has always been image conscious, air brushing photos and strictly controlling the media to send the right message.

However, the rise of the Internet and microblogs like Sina Weibo have posed a major challenge to the party's control.

"A lot of times in the past, power might have gone unchecked and such things might have happened quite a lot without us knowing, but now people post things all the time... so a lot of things get revealed very quickly," said Chen Minglu, a lecturer at the University of Sydney's China Studies Centre.

"Civil society is slowly being formed in China... I think the people are learning more and more to be critical, they are learning how to criticize the power (holders) and they are more and more keen to do so."

LEADERSHIP CHANGE

David Zweig, a Chinese politics expert at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said the Communist Party has always been more sensitive to public opinion around times of leadership change.

"The key question is whether this is a revolution where websites and microblogs will change China forever or whether it is something that only works around the time of the Party Congress," he said.

Unfortunately for the party, officials are giving plenty of ammunition to China's Internet users, who are quick to paint them as callous and out of touch with the people.

This year was already shaping up to be a rough one for the Communist Party's image, with the escape from illegal house arrest and flight into exile of blind human rights activist Chen Guangcheng and the downfall of Politburo member Bo Xilai, whose wife was found guilty of murdering a British businessman.

Last month, an official at the Shaanxi province's work safety department was caught on camera smiling broadly at the scene of a fiery bus crash that killed 36 people. China's net surfers have since turned up the heat on him over a collection of luxury watches noticed on his wrist in photos.

Luxury sports cars also have made ready targets, after a deadly Ferrari crash in March was said by some sources to have involved the son of a senior official and two young women.

Sensitive to perceptions that children of top party officials live privileged lifestyles, the details of the crash remain shrouded in mystery.

Last month, a county government in Anhui province had to deny that participants in photos of an orgy posted online were local officials.

Another incident that has received much attention online is the abuse and threats hurled at a traffic policeman by a man identified by Weibo users as a local party official in the northeastern province of Liaoning who was pulled over.

"F--k your mother! You dare check my car? If you aren't killed today I will have joined the Party for nothing," the official was quoted as saying in posts accompanied by pictures of a crowd supposedly witnessing the incident and a policeman with his shirt ripped.

The online reaction has been vehement.

"If (the official) doesn't die, the party just might," said Weibo user MingJun3488.

Chen Ziming, an independent scholar of politics in Beijing, said newspapers were frightened to publicize these incidents for fear of punishment, but Internet users aren't affected in the same way.

"Local governments haven't caught up. If they think they can suppress it, they are going to try. But Internet users increasingly won't tolerate this," he said.

Contador vows to fight to the end in Vuelta

09/05/2012 09:47

 

(Reuters) - Spain's Alberto Contador said on Tuesday he would pull out all the stops in the last week of the Vuelta a Espana to avoid losing the race to compatriot Joaquim Rodriguez, who leads by 28 seconds.

Barring the 2011 Tour de France, which he raced injured after crashing and badly hurting his knee on the first day, the 29-year-old has won every Grand Tour in which he has taken part since winning the Tour de France in 2007.

Victorious in two Tours de France, one Giro d'Italia and one Vuelta, Contador also won the 2010 Tour and 2011 Giro but was stripped of both titles because of a doping suspension which he completed on August 5.

Speaking at a Vuelta rest day news conference in a country hotel near the northern port of Santander, Contador said it would be "complicated" to win but added: "I can't change myself, and one thing that never crosses my mind is not to go for the overall victory."

Contador said the Vuelta's final-week route, with two summit finishes, was not the best for his plans.

"If there was a climb close to the finish on one stage where I could attack from further out rather than having to wait for the last four to five kilometers to make my move, that would be ideal.

"And we've only really had 13.5 kilometers of flat time trial but the route is what it is and we have to adapt to that."

Asked who he would bet on to win the race, Contador smiled and said: "Myself. If I didn't believe in my possibilities, then I would be deceiving myself."

The Saxo Bank-Tinkoff rider said he felt his lack of racing before the Vuelta had affected his chances. Since his ban ended, Contador has had time to take part in only one stage race, the seven-day Eneco Tour in the Low Countries, before heading to the Vuelta start in Pamplona on August 18.

"More racing would have blown away any dirt there was in the engine," he said. "I lack punch.

"If I had a little better race condition there's no doubt I wouldn't have lost time where I did in the first week.

"But Joaquim's form is impressive, too, and we have to congratulate him for that."

Contador said he would target the world championships in the Netherlands after the Vuelta, with the time trial on September 19 and the road race on September 23 in his sights, as well as cycling's last top classic of the season, La Lombarda, on October 20.
