France’s new premier Francois Bayrou vowed to sharply narrow the nation’s deficit to close to 5% of GDP, a plan that threatens a repeat of the stand-off which toppled the last government. Bayrou, who presented his new cabinet on Monday, will lay out his new policy agenda to parliament on Jan. 14 and has pledged to have a 2025 budget by mid-February. A fragmented National Assembly means the new government made up mostly of centrists will need to placate opposition lawmakers from across the political spectrum. And there are early indications that key parties aren’t pleased with the composition of the new administration or its direction, risking another no-confidence motion. Jordan Bardella, president of the far-right National Rally, called the new administration a “coalition of failure.” And on the left, Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure called the casting of the new government a “provocation.” France has been in political turmoil since June, when President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called early elections. The ballot returned a lower house split roughly among three feuding blocs: the leftist New Popular Front alliance, Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally and a smaller group of centrists that support the president. The first two joined together to force out Prime Minister Michel Barnier in early December. France has long been out of compliance with European Union rules that require member states’ debt to be below 60% of GDP and a deficit under 3%. Next year’s budget will need to chip away at France’s current deficit, which has ballooned to 6.1% of economic output. Bayrou has recruited a new cabinet stuffed with heavyweights and veteran figures to attempt the urgent budget tightening that lead to his predecessor’s eviction. The premier brought two former prime ministers back to government and tapped Eric Lombard, a seasoned investment professional with ties to left, to run the finance ministry. Finding support for a 2025 budget will be difficult in the National Assembly, where Macron’s lawmakers are in the minority and opposition forces have shown little desire for compromise. Because France doesn’t yet have a budget law for 2025, the state will be reliant from January on emergency legislation that took effect on Saturday and permits only vital spending. France’s political and budget difficulties have sparked a sell-off in the country’s debt in recent months, driving up the country’s borrowing costs compared to European peers. The spread between the yields on France and Germany’s 10-year debt closed at 81 basis points on Monday, the highest level since Dec. 4. While the deficit target may be similar as the one sought by the previous cabinet, Bayrou said that the implications of his government’s budget, particularly regarding businesses, would be different. “I’m for protecting companies,” Bayrou said. “I’m not saying that we can’t find some some short-term efforts to make, but I think it’s necessary for everyone to know where the national treasure is. The national treasure is companies. They create wealth. They create jobs.” Lombard also signaled a slight change of approach to the budget from Barnier’s proposal of €60 billion ($62.4 billion) in taxes and spending cuts — an unusually large adjustment for France. “We must reduce the deficit without killing growth,” Lombard said at a handover ceremony at the finance ministry late Monday. “It’s this balance we must look for and that’s the meaning of the 2025 budget.” Bank of France Governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Thursday that to remain credible France must still deliver a significant improvement that brings the deficit closer to 5% next year than 6%. “We are at risk of gradually sinking little by little as we lose weight in Europe and the world and we lose our margin for maneuver,” he said on France 5 television. Earlier this month, Moody’s Ratings cut France’s credit grade in an unscheduled change, warning that the country’s finances will be weakened over the coming years and that there is a “low probability” that the next government will be able to sustainably reduce the size of fiscal deficits beyond next year. Bayrou is counting on Lombard’s credentials in helping get the 2025 budget over the line. “He’s someone who’s had a very long career in business, insurance and banking, and is respected, I think, by everyone,” the premier said on Monday. Lombard, 66, has a long experience of finance, most recently as chief executive of the Caisse des Depots Group, a two-century-old financial institution that reports to parliament. The institution is designed to serve public interests, combining asset management, financing of social housing and management of the state’s strategic holdings. Lombard has spent most of his career before that in the financial sector, with stints at BNP Paribas and Generali France. In the early 1990s, he briefly served as an adviser to Socialist Finance Minister Michel Sapin, who himself returned to the same post for part of Francois Hollande’s 2012-2017 presidency. But his biggest hurdle will be finding a compromise among opposition lawmakers. The Ecologist party leader Marine Tondelier said on Monday that the new government was “imbalanced” with too much influence given to the right. “The same causes will have the same effects and Bayrou is following the same path as Barnier and it’s unlikely he doesn’t share the same destiny,” she said on BFM TV. Faure, whose Socialist party could prove decisive in a no-confidence motion, said on Tuesday that none of the conditions are met for a “no-censure” pact with the new government, but that he will wait until the Jan. 14 policy speech to decide what action to take. ©2024 Bloomberg L.P.

Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.NEW YORK , Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Dow Jones Indices ("S&P DJI") is clarifying the float-adjusted liquidity ratio (FALR) eligibility criteria used in the S&P U.S. Indices and Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Indices Methodologies. No constituent changes for any U.S. companies currently in the S&P Composite 1500 indices or Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market indices will occur, as this simply clarifies and provides more transparency to the existing FALR rule. The below excerpt is the full U.S. Liquidity criteria language, including the clarification: Liquidity. A float-adjusted liquidity ratio (FALR), defined as the annual dollar value traded divided by the float-adjusted market capitalization (FMC), is used to measure liquidity. Using composite pricing and all publicly reported U.S. consolidated volume, annual dollar value traded is defined as the average closing price multiplied by the historical volume over the 365 calendar days prior to the evaluation date. This is reduced to the available trading period for IPOs, spin-offs or public companies considered to be U.S. domiciled for index purposes that do not have 365 calendar days of trading history on a U.S. exchange. In these cases, the dollar value traded available as of the evaluation date is annualized. Eligibility differs depending on the index: S&P Total Market Index Liquidity requirements are reviewed during the quarterly rebalancings. The price (corporate action adjusted) as of the evaluation date, and the shares outstanding and Investable Weight Factor as of the rebalancing effective date are used to calculate the FMC. The evaluation date is five weeks prior to the rebalancing effective date. FALR must be greater than or equal to 0.1. Current constituents have no minimum requirement. IMPACTED INDICES IMPLEMENTATION TIMING The clarification is effective today, Monday, December 9, 2024 .

Musk causes uproar by backing German far-right party ahead of key elections

Bill Belichick's UNC HC Contract Stuns CFB Fans After Historic NFL CareerNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Coach Brian Callahan is sticking with Mason Rudolph at quarterback for a second straight game to see if the Tennessee Titans can build on the veteran who's played in four of their highest scoring games this season. Callahan said Tuesday that he thinks Rudolph earned another chance to play despite a 38-30 loss to Indianapolis. “Obviously the one interception was probably his only really poor moment," Callahan said. "The rest of it was pretty well executed on his part and operated in a drop-back passing game and had to fight his way back through it. And it was good to see, so we’ll let him take another crack at it.” Rudolph is 2-4 in the six games he's played in this season. That includes coming in for an injured Will Levis on Sept. 30 in a 31-12 win at Miami , and he tried to rally the Titans in a turnover-plagued 37-27 loss to Cincinnati before being selected as the starter last week. Rudolph, who is in Tennessee on a one-year deal, was 23 of 34 for 252 yards with two touchdown passes and three interceptions. One went off running back Tony Pollard's hands with the final pick coming on the last play of the game after Rudolph led a rally from a 38-7 deficit in the final 18 minutes. Rudolph's ability to avoid sacks is a key piece of sticking with him over Levis, the 33rd pick overall in the 2023 draft. The quarterbacks' stats are similar with Rudolph having eight TD passes and eight interceptions, completing 63.8% of his passes with a 78.8 passer rating. That’s similar to Levis completing 63.7% of his passes with 12 TD passes and 12 interceptions. But Levis has been sacked 40 times compared to just seven for Rudolph. “He’s got the ability to avoid the negative play when it comes to sacks," Callahan said of Rudolph. “He gets the ball out. He knows where to go with it quickly.” That means Rudolph gets a chance Sunday when the Titans (3-12) visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-12) to see if he can guide the offense to more than the six points Levis managed against their AFC South rival in a 10-6 loss on Dec. 8 in Nashville. Rudolph said he knows he put the Titans defense in a bad spot with some turnovers. "I’m ready to prove that I can take care of the ball better and keep scoring points,” Rudolph said. The Titans held a walk-through Tuesday with Callahan giving the team Wednesday off for Christmas. An injury report won't be released until Wednesday, and Callahan said it'll likely be lengthy. RG Dillon Radunz, who was knocked out of last week's game with an injury, will be on that report. Lineman Jaelyn Duncan, who hurt a hamstring badly enough early in his first start at right tackle Oct. 20 that he wound up on injured reserve , will be available. Callahan said he is excited to see Duncan play. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflCar industry suffers another breakdown: Vauxhall-owner Stellantis shares plunge as boss quits By CALUM MUIRHEAD Updated: 22:00, 2 December 2024 e-mail View comments The global car industry suffered another convulsion yesterday as shares in Vauxhall’s owner plunged following the surprise exit of its chief executive. Stellantis’s stock, which is listed in Paris and Milan, tumbled 6.3 per cent to its lowest level in more than two years as Carlos Tavares, one of the most respected figures in the industry, dramatically resigned on Sunday ahead of his expected retirement in early 2026. Tavares’s departure came after his reputation took a hit in September when the company issued a major profit warning amid intense competition from Chinese rivals and weak US demand. ‘This sets an unprecedented challenge for investors looking to invest in a firm with such volatility in the management team,’ said analysts at investment bank JP Morgan. Analysts at broker Jefferies added that his exit, thought to have been the result of a row over corporate strategy between the chief executive, the board and major investors, would ‘cast doubts’ about the effectiveness of Stellantis’s model of multiple car brands being owned by a single conglomerate. The departure of Tavares, 66, came days after Stellantis – which also owns brands including Jeep, Fiat and Peugeot – announced plans to close its Vauxhall factory in Luton, putting more than 1,100 jobs at risk. Stock shock: Stellantis's stock, tumbled 6.3% to its lowest level in more than two years after boss Carlos Tavares (pictured), dramatically resigned on Sunday The problems highlight the misery facing global car makers, who find themselves caught in a perfect storm of falling demand, rising competition and increasing pressure from governments to adapt their production to hit net-zero targets. Volkswagen (VW) is embroiled in a dispute with workers over plans to close at least three of its German factories and lay off thousands of staff alongside a 10 per cent pay cut for those remaining. Meanwhile, Japanese group Nissan is facing a make-or-break year. Last month, it unveiled plans to axe 9,000 jobs as it tries to keep itself afloat amid plunging profits and an exodus of senior executives that has left it on the brink of collapse. Boss Makoto Uchida has presided over the company’s worst share price performance in 50 years. The company’s fate has big implications for the UK, where Nissan employs 7,000 staff, mostly in Sunderland.

Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP How to choose the best (and cheapest) stocks and shares Isa and the right DIY investing account Ford, the long-dominant US motoring group, is also struggling to adapt. Last week, UK boss Lisa Brankin called on the Government to introduce incentives to encourage drivers to buy electric vehicles after the firm announced 4,000 job cuts in Europe over the next three years, including 800 in Britain, due to low demand and competition pressures. Industry watchers say all the major car brands are suffering from a poisonous cocktail of sluggish demand for electric cars and rising competition from China. Chinese car makers, on the back of substantial subsidies from Beijing, have begun to dominate their domestic market and are now looking to break into other countries, adding more competition to the sector. America has already slapped a 100 per cent tariff on imports of Chinese electric cars. In October, the EU approved plans for tariffs of up to 45 per cent on electric cars from China. But the Government seems unlikely to follow the examples set in Washington and Brussels, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer having recently met with Chinese president Xi Jinping in a bid to thaw relations between the two countries. Andy Palmer, the former boss of Aston Martin, said the situation reminded him of when Japanese car makers first began to challenge their Western counterparts in the 1970s and 1980s. He told the Mail: ‘At that time, it did seem like the Japanese were eating everybody’s breakfast and right now it feels like the Chinese are eating everybody’s breakfast.’ Shutting up shop: The departure of Tavares, 66, came days after Stellantis announced plans to close its Vauxhall factory in Luton, putting more than 1,100 jobs at risk He added that the crisis-hit automakers were now paying the price for adapting too slowly as rivals surged ahead. ‘Nissan, Ford and Stellantis were particularly slow to react to a changing world,’ he said. Factory closures in Britain are also intensifying a row between the industry and ministers over targets intended to boost the number of electric cars on the roads. Electric cars must make up at least 22 per cent of sales for car makers this year, a figure that will rise to 80 per cent by 2030. Firms that fall short face hefty fines. Labour has also pledged to reintroduce a ban on new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 after the Conservative government previously pushed back the deadline to 2035. But car makers have urged the Government to rethink the targets, warning that falling demand for electric vehicles from consumers means they are being forced to close factories and cut jobs instead. The Government’s stance appeared to soften last week when Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds admitted to MPs that the electric vehicle mandate was ‘not working as anyone intended’. David Bailey, a car industry expert at the University of Birmingham, said the Government needs to find ways to stimulate demand for electric cars and that ‘simply telling car firms to supply electric vehicles isn’t going to cut it’.

Germany is to vote in an early election on February 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalise the country’s stagnant economy. Mr Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag – a sister publication of Politico owned by the Axel Springer Group – published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month that he has supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD. “The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last spark of hope for this country,” he wrote in his translated commentary. He went on to say that the far-right party “can lead the country into a future where economic prosperity, cultural integrity and technological innovation are not just wishes, but reality”. The Tesla Motors chief executive also wrote that his investment in Germany gives him the right to comment on the country’s condition. The AfD is polling strongly, but its candidate for the top job, Alice Weidel, has no realistic chance of becoming chancellor because other parties refuse to work with the far-right party. Billionaire Mr Musk, an ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, challenged in his opinion piece the party’s public image. “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Mr Musk’s commentary has led to a debate in German media over the boundaries of free speech, with the paper’s own opinion editor announcing her resignation, pointedly on Mr Musk’s social media platform, X. Eva Marie Kogel wrote: “I always enjoyed leading the opinion section of WELT and WAMS. Today an article by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. I handed in my resignation yesterday after it went to print.” A critical article by the future editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Jan Philipp Burgard, accompanied Mr Musk’s opinion piece. “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally wrong,” he wrote. Responding to a request for comment from the German Press Agency, dpa, the current editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Ulf Poschardt, and Mr Burgard – who is due to take over on January 1 – said in a joint statement that the discussion over Mr Musk’s piece was “very insightful. Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression.” “This will continue to determine the compass of the ‘world’ in the future. We will develop ‘Die Welt’ even more decisively as a forum for such debates,” they wrote to dpa.
