CNN Money By Cyrus Sanati February 6, 2012 To form a strong fiscal union and

degree of control of their national budgets to a central European authority.
FORTUNE — The European Central Bank has thrown cold water on the sovereign
debt crisis by injecting billions of euros into the banking system, but the
embers of the crisis are still smoldering. S&P says the eurozone has a 40%
chance of entering a severe recession this year, with the economy projected to
shrink by as much as 2%. Unless comprehensive reform creates a much tighter
fiscal union, uncertainty will continue to cast a dark cloud over Europe's
economic future. It may seem as if Europe is out of the woods. Bond yields for

“No es conveniente retirar agua a minera Southern”

El presidente de la Asociación de Municipalidades de la Región Tacna (Amret),
Santiago Curi Velásquez, consideró de extremista la posición de cancelar las
licencias de agua a la empresa minera Southern Peru para el uso del recurso
hídrico para la explotación de los yacimientos en Toquepala y Cuajone.
POSICIÓN Desde su punto de vista, tanto las autoridades nacionales como de la
región deben lograr el consenso durante la reunión de la mesa de trabajo que
sostendrán hoy con el premier Óscar Valdés. "No se puede cortar el agua a
nadie, todo tiene un proceso, hay que tener en cuenta que existen convenios
internacionales, autorizaciones del ANA (Autoridad Nacional de Agua) y decir que
se devolverá el agua no es oportuno, lo ideal sería dar un tiempo
perentorio", sostuvo. Luego de este plazo la empresa Southern Peru y otras
mineras que realicen actividades mineras deben buscar otras fuentes de recurso
hídrico para que no se afecte el agua de la cabecera de cuenca. Agregó que los
miembros del Amret se reunirán con el premier a partir de las 3 p.m. en el
auditorio de la Zofratacna. Fuente:

Inversión privada crecería 8% en Perú este año en escenario conservador

La inversión privada crecería en Perú ocho por ciento en el presente año,
bajo un escenario conservador, dado el entorno de alta incertidumbre mundial,
señaló el banco Scotiabank. Si bien los empresarios están más cómodos con
la situación política interna y menos preocupados, o tal vez más
acostumbrados a los riesgos del entorno internacional, en el 2009 ocurrió un
quiebre muy rápido y profundo en las expectativas de los inversionistas,
recordó.Señaló que actualmente existen señales de intenciones de invertir en
el 2012 – 2013 en forma relativamente agresiva en una diversidad de sectores,
incluyendo retail (tiendas de departamentos y supermercados), bancos,
construcción e inmobiliario e incluso minería e hidrocarburos. Pero es
particularmente notable el salto que se viene dando en la inversión minera ,
señaló el Departamento de Estudios Económicos del banco en su Reporte
Especial "Perú: Proyecciones Macroeconómica 2012 – 2013".Explicó que en
general existe confianza entre los mineros de que los precios se mantendrán
relativamente altos; y, si bien los conflictos sociales están afectando algunos
proyectos puntuales, no parece estar contagiando los planes de inversión de la
minería en su conjunto .Subrayó que el 2012 – 2013 será un período en que
tanto el sector privado como el público contribuirán al crecimiento, a
diferencia del 2011 cuando el Sector Público restó aproximadamente un punto
porcentual a la expansión del Producto Bruto Interno (PBI).Recordó que el
Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas (MEF) espera un crecimiento de 30 por ciento
en la inversión pública, y crecer sobre una base tan baja como en el 2011
ayuda, pero es difícil hacer supuestos sobre la velocidad con que los gobiernos
regionales y locales mejorarán su capacidad de gasto en el tiempo."Ante la
incertidumbre, preferimos ser cautos. Nuestra proyección de crecimiento de 23
por ciento es menor a la proyección oficial, pero aún así implica un nuevo
récord en monto total de inversión pública (28,000 millones de nuevos soles
versus el récord anterior de 26,000 millones registrado en el 2010)",
agregó.También comentó que el consumo público y consumo privado tienden a
ser más constantes en el tiempo y la proyección del consumo público está en
línea, en general, con el presupuesto.La proyección del Scotiabank del consumo
privado toma como pauta el crecimiento del empleo formal, de 5.5 por ciento en
el 2011.El consumo privado, a diferencia del gasto público y la inversión
privada, mantuvo su solidez en el 2011 y ha empezado el 2012 en forma muy
robusta, subrayó.Por lo general, los sectores vinculados a la demanda interna
crecerán en el 2012 – 2013 y una de las fortalezas que tiene el país es la
demanda interna, lo cual reduce la importancia de las exportaciones y amortigua
el impacto de shocks externos, indicó. Short URL :

Producción 2011 de Cobre, Estaño, Zinc, Plomo, Hierro, Oro, Plata, Molibdeno, Tungsteno

La producción peruana de cobre fue de 122,642 toneladas métricas finas (TMF)
en diciembre del 2011, 6.49 por ciento más con relación a la del mismo mes del
2010 (115,171 TMF), reportó hoy el Ministerio de Energía y Minas (MEM). La
Dirección de Promoción Minera (DPM) del MEM indicó que este crecimiento se
debe principalmente a los incrementos observados en la producción de Xstrata
Tintaya (43 por ciento), Minera Milpo (28 por ciento) y Minera Antamina (24 por
ciento).Minera El Brocal y Minera Cerro Verde, por su parte, informaron una
disminución en su producción de 24 y 18 por ciento, respectivamente.La
producción acumulada de cobre en el 2011 fue de un millón 235,198 TMF, menor
en 0.96 por ciento a la del año 2010 (un millón 247,184 TMF).La producción de
zinc fue de 102,262 TMF en diciembre del año pasado, disminuyendo 6.26 por
ciento frente a la del mismo mes del 2010, cuando reportó 109,087 TMF.Este
resultado se explica por la menor producción de este mineral en Volcan
Compañía Minera (-33 por ciento), Empresa Minera Los Quenuales (-32 por
ciento) y Minera Colquisiri (-31 por ciento).Los mayores crecimientos se dieron
en la producción de Catalina Huanca Sociedad Minera (36 por ciento) y
Compañía Minera Milpo (27 por ciento).En el 2011 la producción acumulada es
de un millón 255,899 TMF, cifra inferior en 14.59 por ciento a la del año
2010, que fue de un millón 470,450 TMF.Por su parte, la producción de plomo
fue de 20,896 TMF en diciembre del 2011 y se incrementó 6.67 por ciento
respecto al mismo mes del 2010, cuando ascendió a 19,589 TMF.Dicho resultado se
explica por la mayor producción en Minera Atacocha (82 por ciento), Pan
American Silver Mina Quiruvilca (37 por ciento) y Catalina Huanca (32 por
ciento).En Minera Los Quenuales y Volcan Compañía Minera la producción
disminuyó en 57 y 27 por ciento, respectivamente, en comparación a lo
reportado en diciembre del 2010.La producción de plomo en el 2011 fue de
230,019 TMF, menor en 12.20 por ciento a la del 2010, que fue de 261,990 TMF.La
producción de hierro fue de 736,944 toneladas largas finas (TLF), en el último
mes del 2011, lo que representa un aumento de 24.54 por ciento en relación a la
diciembre del 2010 (591,721 TLF).Shougang Hierro Perú es la única empresa
productora de este mineral a través de su unidad CPS, que está ubicada en
Ica.Durante el 2011 la producción acumulada de hierro fue de siete millones
10,938 TLF, 16.02 por ciento más frente a la del 2010 (seis millones 42,644
TLF).La producción peruana de oro fue de 13 millones 713,769 gramos finos en
diciembre del 2011, lo que supera en 6.79 por ciento a la de diciembre del 2010,
que fue de 12 millones 842,312 gramos finos, anunció hoy el Ministerio de
Energía y Minas (MEM).La Dirección de Promoción Minera (DPM) del MEM explicó
que este resultado se debe a la mayor producción que se registró en Minera La
Zanja (61 por ciento), Xstrata Tintaya (59 por ciento) y Barrick Misquichilca
(52 por ciento).En Minera Ares y Minas Buenaventura la producción disminuyó en
36 y 16 por ciento, respectivamente, en comparación a lo reportado en diciembre
del 2010.La producción acumulada de oro en el 2011 fue de 164 millones 13,489
gramos finos, menor en 0.04 por ciento a la del 2010 (164 millones 84,389 gramos
finos).La producción de plata tuvo un descenso de 3.95 por ciento al reportar
300,141 kilogramos finos en diciembre de 2011 menor a los 312,499 kilogramos
finos en diciembre del 2010.Esta disminución se debe a la menor producción de
Minera Ares (-28 por ciento), Minera Suyamarca (-28 por ciento) y Volcan
Compañía Minera (-25 por ciento); mientras que Minas Buenaventura tuvo un
incremento de diez por ciento.En el 2011 la producción acumulada fue de tres
millones 414,010 kilogramos finos, menor en 6.22 por ciento a la del mismo
período del 2010 (tres millones 640,465 kilogramos finos).Por su parte, la
producción de molibdeno fue de 1,861 toneladas métricas finas (TMF) en
diciembre del 2011, 3.50 por ciento más respecto a las 1,798 TMF de diciembre
del año previo.Este mineral es producido por Southern Peru Copper Corporation
Sucursal del Perú, Cía. Minera Antamina y Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde.En el
2011 la producción acumulada de molibdeno fue de 19,141 TMF, superior en 12.84
por ciento a las 16,963 TMF del año 2010.La producción de tungsteno en
diciembre del 2011 fue de 26 TMF, menor en 57.73 por ciento a la del mismo mes
del 2010 (61 TMF).La producción acumulada de este mineral en el 2011 fue de 546
TMF, menor en 23.81 por ciento a la del año 2010 (716 TMF).Finalmente, la
producción de estaño a cargo de la única empresa productora (Minsur) fue de

mes del 2010.En el año 2011 la producción acumulada de estaño fue de 28,882
TMF, 14.67 por ciento menos que la del 2010 (33,848 TMF). Short URL :

Dirigentes denuncian sabotaje a La Oroya

Acusan a Cormin-Trafigura de intentar trabar proceso de reestructuración de
Doe Run Perú. Según los trabajadores, existen fuertes intereses económicos
detrás de las críticas contra el proceso de Junta de Acreedores. Los
dirigentes sindicales mineros Royberto Guzmán y Amid Yangali cuestionaron a los
representantes de la empresa del grupo Cormin-Trafigura de intentar boicotear el
proceso de reestructuración de Doe Run Perú, operador del Complejo
Metalúrgico deLa Oroya, para beneficiarse económicamente. Según la versión
de Guzmán, secretario general del Sindicato de Trabajadores Metalúrgicos de
Doe Run Perú, los representantes de Cormin estarían desfasados y no buscarían
el desarrollo del país. "Ellos piensan que solamente alzando la voz, estos
grandes problemas (del Complejo Metalúrgico) ya se han solucionado. No
contribuyen con el país, como se sabe, Cormin-Trafigura es una empresa
acopiadora de mineral que vende a terceros y no le conviene que se reinicie las
operaciones de la fundición porque, perderían clientes", sostuvo Guzmán.
Asimismo, cuestionó la actitud de los abogados de este "trader
internacional" ya que por sus intereses económicos, buscan despertar
suspicacias para entorpecer el proceso que devolvería la fuerza productiva a la
provincia de Yauli-La Oroya. AMID YANGALI Por su parte, Yangali, secretario
general dela Unidad Minerade Cobriza (vinculada a Doe Run Perú), sostuvo que
desde el inicio de este proceso, Cormin ha querido truncar el reinicio de las
operaciones del Complejo Metalúrgico. "Ellos tienen intereses económicos muy
fuertes, las declaraciones del abogado Puelles, no fueron graves, pero podría
generar suspicacias y entorpecer este proceso de aprobación del Plan de
Reestructuración", dice Yangali. Frente a ello, el dirigente sindical
comentó que confía en el Plan de Reestructuración que ha presentado Doe Run
Perú y cree que prontola Comisiónde energía y Minas apruebela Ampliacióndel
Programa de Adecuación y Manejo Ambiental (PAMA). "Yo creo que este proceso
está en su etapa final y es bastante importante que se puedan continuar con las
operaciones y pido a la opinión pública que esté vigilante para que nadie
pueda frenarlo. Las autoridades involucradas en esto, saben que vamos por el
buen camino y todos los trabajadores nos mantenemos expectantes de la
aprobación del Plan de Reestructuración", advierte Yangali. PIDE CELERIDAD
AL CONGRESO Guzmán precisó que, desde hace varias semanas, los trabajadores
continúan insistiendo para que se acelere el proceso de aprobación del
Proyecto de Ley que permitirá la ampliación del PAMA a Doe Run Perú.
"Quiero pedir a los integrantes dela Comisiónde energía y Minas que aceleren
la aprobación de este Proyecto de Ley para que se trate este asunto del PAMA
porque se tiene que viabilizar la culminación de la última etapa dela Plantade
Tratamiento de Ácido Sulfúrico y eso creo que va a ser saludable para mejorar
el trabajo en la región y sobre todo garantizar el respeto a la salud y
medioambiente, con ello, se mantendrá controlados la emisión de gases y evitar
contaminar el medioambiente", dijo Guzmán. El sindicalista refiere que
"hemos estado esperando el resultado de las opiniones que ha solicitadola
Comisiónde energía y Minas al ministerio del mismo sector, al Gobierno
Regional de Junín y a Indecopi, entre ellos, sabemos que Indecopi ya cumplió
con la opinión ante esta comisión del Legislativo, así como, al gobierno
regional" Fuente:

Bernanke Urges Caution In Sharp Deficit Cutting

Associated Press By Martin Crutsinger February 2, 2012 Bernanke urges Congress
to be careful not to derail recovery with excessive deficit reduction WASHINGTON
(AP) — Ben Bernanke is urging lawmakers to balance their desire to cut
deficits with policies that could help boost the weak economy in the short run.
Bernanke told the House Budget Committee that he recognizes that huge budget
deficits represent a serious threat to the economy. "Even as fiscal
policymakers address the urgent issue of fiscal sustainability, they should take
care not to unnecessarily impede the current economic recovery," Bernanke
said. "Fortunately, the two goals … are fully compatible." The Federal
Reserve chairman is testifying a week after the Fed signaled that a full
recovery could take at least three more years. As a result, the Fed said it
doesn't plan to raise its benchmark interest rate from a record low before
late 2014 at the earliest. The hearing began on a contentious note. Chairman
Paul Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, said the Fed's policies were adding to
uncertainty and raising risks of higher inflation down the road. Ryan was
critical of the Fed's decision last week to announce that it hoped to hold
interest rates at record low levels for three more years. "I think this policy
runs the great risk of fueling asset bubbles, destabilizing prices and
eventually eroding the value of the dollar," Ryan told Bernanke. "The
prospect of all three is adding to uncertainty and holding our economy back."
Bernanke is also appearing two days after the Congressional Budget Office
estimated that the deficit will top $1 trillion for a fourth straight year and
could stay around that level for years. The two leaders offered contrasting
views last summer over how to handle high budget deficits. Bernanke warned
Republicans that threatening to block a pending increase in the nation's
borrowing limit could hurt the economy. He said the debt ceiling was the
"wrong tool" for trying to push federal spending cuts through Congress. Ryan
countered at the time that using the debt-ceiling vote as leverage to win
meaningful deficit reductions was a valid approach. This time, Bernanke will
likely point to some economic improvements. Factories are making more goods.
Americans are buying more cars. The unemployment rate is near its lowest level
in nearly three years. And employers have produced six straight months of solid
hiring. Still, growth was only modest in the final three months of last year.
And consumers will likely slow their spending if hiring and pay increases
don't strengthen. A key reason the deficit has surged in the past four years
is that the government collected less tax revenue. In part, that's because the
economy has yet to regain the millions of jobs lost during the Great Recession.
And the government has had to spend more on emergency unemployment benefits and
efforts to boost growth, such as the Social Security tax cut that will expire in
February unless Congress extends it. The Fed has also taken extraordinary
measures during and after the recession to try to help the economy recover. In
June, it completed its second round of bond buying. At a news conference after
last week's Fed meeting, Bernanke said a third round of bond buying might be
necessary. Some economists think the Fed could announce more bond buying as soon
as its next meeting in March. View the original article here

dow2664 Today’s DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Market Trends Today: The primary indices in the U.S. were posting green at the mid-way point of the last trading session, but trends were choppy. The DJI Index , as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 Indices, posted fluctuating trends throughout the last session. The ongoing debt crisis in the eurozone is the primary catalyst for the inconsistent trends. Economic data posting last session was also mixed . Although initial unemployment claims dropped lower, those filing to continue claims notched higher than expected. According to the government’s data, the number of Americans applying for first time unemployment dropped 15,000 to 358,000 for the week ended Feb. 4. This mark was better than expected. Data for those Americans filing to continued unemployment claims notched higher however. Approximately 3.5 million Americans filed to continue claims. Ultimately, stock indices in the U.S. stayed green. Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market Close Review: All three primary index composites in the U.S. closed the last session in the green.

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Federal Unemployment Benefit Claims Review: Unemployment claims dropped lower again in America last week. Fewer Americans are in need of government assistance as the U.S. economy steps forward on its path to sustained recovery. Economic data has skewed towards the positive side of the spectrum recently and America’s economic standing appears to be gaining positive position, especially when viewed with the backdrop of the ongoing debt crisis in the eurozone. According to the government data which posted last session, initial unemployment claims dropped lower by 15,000 to 358,000 last week. This data represented a mark better than that which was anticipated by many economists. This data however countered data which showed that more than 3.5 million Americans filed to continue unemployment benefit claims. This data was a bit stronger than what most economists were anticipating. The unemployment data parallels news stemming from Washington regarding House Senate negotiations pertaining to jobless benefits. Democrats on Capitol Hill proposed extending jobless benefits and cutting the payroll tax by two percentage points. The proposal stalled though as Democrats were unwilling to accept a deal that required Americans to endure drug testing in order to receive the benefits. Genny Germano
