Analysis-New York could profit from Brexit tussle over euro derivatives By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

By Huw Jones LONDON (Reuters) - A hasty shift in euro-denominated derivatives clearing from London to Frankfurt to meet European Union post-Brexit demands may drive business to New York and shackle the 27-member bloc's capital market, banks warn. The future of where euro derivatives are cleared for customers in the bloc became a focal point in the Brexit debate, with EU politicians keen to wrest control of the 100 trillion euro ($122 trillion) market away from the City of London after Britain quit the EU. Whilst employing a relatively small number of people, euro clearing...

By Simon Jessop and Benjamin Mallet PARIS (Reuters) - Several Total shareholders plan to demonstrate their concern that the French firm is not doing enough to curb carbon emissions at its shareholder meeting on Friday, as global oil and gas companies come under growing environmental pressure.

By Sharon Abratique HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong's legislature approved the biggest overhaul of its political system in the quarter century since British rule on Thursday, in a decisive step to assert Beijing's authority over the autonomous city.

Posted by admin

in News

LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England is only likely to start to raise interest rates "well into" next year, although a move could come earlier in 2022 if the economy rebounds faster than expected, BoE policymaker Gertjan Vlieghe said on Thursday.

By Michael Shields ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland will pay the price in lost exports, higher costs and diminished attractiveness as a business centre after deciding this week to pull the plug on a draft treaty binding it more snugly to the European Union, its biggest trading partner. Popular concerns about yielding too much sovereignty sank the 2018 pact that would have had non-member Switzerland routinely adopt rules governing the EU's giant single market, including the free movement of people. While the eurosceptic far-right celebrated the demise of a what it saw as a "colonial" treaty...
