CitarNokia To Axe Up To 14,000 Jobs To Cut CostsPosted by msmash on Thursday October 19, 2023 @11:20AM from the tough-luck dept.Finnish telecoms giant Nokia is to axe between 9,000 and 14,000 jobs by the end of 2026 to cut costs. From a report:CitarThe announcement was made as the company reported a 20% drop in sales between July and September. The company blamed slowing demand for 5G equipment in markets such as North America. It currently has 86,000 employees around the world, and has axed thousands of jobs since 2015. Nokia wants to cut costs by between $845m and $1.27bn by 2026, it said.Its customers have been cutting spending amid high inflation and interest rates, it said.

Bankinter avisa del giro económico: el ahorro se acaba y se consume a créditoCasi el 50% de las nuevas provisiones se destina a cubrirse de impagos en la cartera de consumo. La tasa de mora de este segmento supera el 5%, el doble que la generalSe atisba un cambio de ciclo en la economía. El ahorro acumulado durante la pandemia se está acabando y los bancos ya detectan que se 'tira' de crédito para consumir. Así lo advierte María Dolores Dancausa, consejera delegada de Bankinter, que alerta de que se trata de uno de los principales riesgos que afronta la economía española en medio de una crisis de precios y ralentización de la actividad."El ahorro se está consumiendo y se está cambiando por consumir a crédito", afirmó Dancausa en la presentación de resultados de los nueves primeros meses del año, en los que Bankinter disparó un 59% el beneficio pese a pagar una factura de 77 millones por el 'impuestazo'. Es la primera vez que un banquero hace esta advertencia.Según los últimos datos publicados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), la tasa de ahorro de los hogares alcanzó el 20% de su renta disponible en el segundo trimestre, el nivel más alto en dos años. El crédito al consumo es el único segmento del negocio bancario que crece y está compensando la intensa caída en hipotecas, que alcanza el 17% en el caso de Bankinter.Se trata de una cartera más sensible al ciclo económico y que se considera como el termómetro de la evolución de la actividad. De hecho, el equipo de Bankinter ya detecta un empeoramiento en la entrada de impagos en consumo, con una tasa de mora superior al 5% y que casi duplica la general (2,5% en España).Más provisiones para cubrir el deterioro"Seguimos sin ver deterioros significativos ni en empresas ni en hipotecas. El aumento en consumo es muy pequeño y está controlado", defendió la consejera delegada de Bankinter. Pese a que la cúpula del banco no está preocupada, casi la mitad de las nuevas provisiones se destinaron a cubrirse de los impagos en la cartera de crédito al consumo, como concretó Jacobo Díaz, director financiero.La partida de dotaciones para préstamos alcanzó los 238 millones en los nueve primeros meses del año, un 28% más que en el mismo periodo de 2022.Bankinter, que tradicionalmente ha apostado por clientes con un perfil más propio de banca privada, decidió hace unos años poner el foco en los préstamos personales y abrir nuevas vías de negocio, con la entrada en el segmento de crédito al consumo para no clientes, conocido como 'open market'.Incertidumbre creciente por la geopolíticaDancausa advirtió de que el nivel de incertidumbre sobre la economía es "enorme", sobre todo tras el estallido de la guerra entre Israel y Hamás. Y por ello pidió eliminar el impuesto a los bancos por los ingresos extra de las subidas de tipos. "Se generaría incertidumbre jurídica", alertó. El Gobierno de coalición activó un gravamen del 4,8% de los ingresos típicos y de las comisiones de los bancos durante este y el próximo año."No se puede cambiar de opinión permanentemente, se generaría inseguridad jurídica", advierte María Dolores Dancausa sobre la posibilidad de que el impuestazo se extienda más allá del próximo añoPero Sumar ya ha elevado la presión y quiere incluir la prórroga del 'impuestazo' en las negociaciones del pacto de una nueva legislatura de Pedro Sánchez. "No se puede cambiar de opinión permanentemente", dijo Dancausa sobre la 'promesa' de que sería extraordinario hasta 2024. Ahora bien, los supervisores bancarios descuentan que el impuesto se hará permanente.Pese al gravamen, que costará 77 millones de euros a Bankinter este año, el beneficio de la entidad en los nueve primeros meses (685 millones) del año supera ya en un 20% a las ganancias de todo 2022.

The UK housing crash is just beginningFor the first time since 2007, the returns on a typical new buy-to-let property have entered negative territory.In the second quarter of this year Britain’s rentier economy quietly arrived at a turning point: the end of the buy-to-let property market. According to research published by Savills yesterday, there is no longer any profit to be made from buying a home with a typical loan-to-value ratio (meaning a deposit of 30 per cent or less) and renting it out to someone else. For the first time since 2007, mortgage rates have moved the returns on a typical new buy-to-let into negative territory. The small landlord business is dead.These buyers were the core of the BTL market. Since 2014, 73 per cent of new buy-to-let mortgages have been taken out by people with a deposit of less than 30 per cent, according to data supplied to me by UK Finance. In the two years to July 2023, more than 163,000 of these leveraged borrowers took out £25bn in new buy-to-let mortgages; none of them, were they taking out the same loan today, would expect to make a profit from doing so.Small landlords on cheaper rates (or with bigger deposits) will continue to make money, but this means the flow of new landlords into the market will dry up, and as the cheaper fixed-rate periods (often two years) of many landlords end, they will be forced to choose between selling up or becoming a loss-making business.The small-landlord business has had a transformative effect on Britain’s economy and society. For three decades, buy-to-let mortgages offered small investors the leverage to grow a deposit-sized sum into a house-sized sum, with someone else (a tenant) paying the borrowing costs. This low-skill, low-tax, high-return business became a route to wealthy retirement for millions of people. Millions more became their tenants: by 2021, almost one in five people lived in the private rented sector.But the most attractive thing about BTL property was that because so many other people were doing it – and so little housing, especially social housing, was being built – the underlying asset (the house) gained value well above the rate of inflation. Now the market is headed in the opposite direction. Buy-to-let landlords owe £300bn to Britain’s banks, according to UK Finance. This is a huge amount of debt to keep servicing without any incentive to do so. In fact, the incentive is to get out, because persistent high inflation is dissolving the value of landlords’ investments: last week Savills found that the real-terms (inflation-adjusted) value of houses in the UK had dropped 13.4 per cent from its peak in March 2022.October is usually the busiest month for housing sales, bringing with it a rise in prices, but this year’s autumn surge is barely a ripple, the weakest growth for the season since 2008, according to this month’s Rightmove house price index. Many landlords will see an urgent need to sell up, and in doing so they will compound falling prices by increasing supply to a market in which new customers (landlords and homebuyers) are drying up, and sellers are increasingly accepting steep discounts.Some landlords might look at the dip in 2007-8 and conclude that the housing crash, while it may deepen, will be temporary: after all, the average UK house price rose 81 per cent in nominal terms from 2008 to 2022. But the only reason the market recovered after the 2008 crash was that the Bank of England reduced interest rates almost to zero and added £895bn in new money to the economy through quantitative easing. It can persuasively be argued that the growth in house prices in 2008 is almost entirely due to this intervention.No landlord or estate agent should kid themselves that the Bank will bail out the housing market again. Quite the opposite: the Bank is now embarked on quantitative tightening, and its governor, Andrew Bailey, has repeatedly said that interest rates will need to remain elevated for a sustained period. The fight against inflation is far from over, and the housing market will continue to be one of the casualties.One of Bailey’s fellow rate-setters, Swati Dhingra, told the BBC last week that only around 20 to 25 per cent of the impact of rate hikes has fed through into the real economy so far. Housing is an early indicator because demand is so dependent on the cost of borrowing, but in the years ahead millions of people will reach the end of their fixed-rate mortgages and find themselves less able to afford their home.Even in a period of economic recovery, prices may remain subdued if, for example, Labour does manage to stimulate the building of 1.5 million new homes over the next parliament – although house prices are affected by more than just supply. The good news is that rising house prices are an economic fiction, and in terms of housing affordability, a subdued market is generally positive. The bad news is that it’s a fiction on which people have come to rely, as a substitute for pensions and savings. The evaporation of that wealth will have consequences beyond the property market. The house-price winter is just beginning.
Record fall in German producer prices points to ‘big drop’ in inflationExports of goods outside EU decline, with double-digit decrease in shipments to US and ChinaThe price of goods produced by German companies has fallen at the fastest annual rate since records began in 1949, pointing to further falls in inflation in Europe’s largest economy.The federal statistical agency said producer prices of German industrial products fell 14.7 per cent in the year to September, dragged lower by falling wholesale energy prices.Excluding energy, German producer prices rose 0.8 per cent from a year earlier. Producer prices are seen by economists as an indicator of future prices paid by shoppers, which are used to calculate consumer price inflation.In a further sign of weakness in the German economy, exports of goods outside the EU declined 8.7 per cent in the year to September, with double-digit falls in shipments to both the US and China, Germany’s two main trading partners.Germany’s economy has contracted or stagnated for the past nine months and the IMF this month predicted it would be the worst-performing major economy this year, with output contracting 0.5 per cent before returning to tepid growth of 0.9 per cent next year.Oliver Rakau, an economist at consultants Oxford Economics, said falling exports were “another reason to expect a fairly hefty quarterly drop in German gross domestic product in the third quarter”, predicting output would decline 0.4 per cent from the previous quarter.Other recent German economic data has also been weak, including August’s 0.2 per cent decline in industrial production from July and a 1.2 per cent decline in retail sales in the same period. Rakau said the recent “weakness” pointed to “another contraction” in fourth-quarter GDP.Slowing economic activity is contributing to a cooling of price pressures, as shown by the 0.2 month-on-month decline in German producer prices.Anna Titareva, an economist at Swiss bank UBS, forecast that German consumer price inflation would continue falling rapidly, dropping from 4.3 per cent in September to 3.3 per cent in October.This would contribute to a similarly “big drop” in eurozone inflation from 4.3 per cent in September to 3 per cent in October, its lowest level since August 2021.The German figures are due out on October 30, with the numbers for the single currency area coming the following day.Expectations of further falls in inflation would help the European Central Bank keep interest rates unchanged when it meets next Thursday, she said.The conflict between Israel and Hamas has raised fears of wider tensions in the Middle East and pushed up oil and gas prices in recent weeks, which economists worry could keep inflation stubbornly high.Carsten Brzeski, an economist at Dutch bank ING, said “the disinflationary process could still gain momentum in the coming months, but looks to be shortlived” as higher oil prices meant “headline inflation would rebound in the first half of 2024”.However, Rakau said the latest German figures highlighted “important downside risks to next year’s inflation outlook as goods deflation feeds through to consumers”.German energy producer prices dropped 35.3 per cent in the year to September. Prices of intermediate goods, such as metals, wood and fertiliser, also fell 4.2 per cent year on year.But German food producer prices rose 5.5 per cent and durable consumer goods prices rose 4.2 per cent. and the prices of many construction raw materials surged, such as a 23 per cent rise in cement prices.
The 10-year Treasury yield just crossed 5% for the first time since 2007. Here’s what that means for you*The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, a key barometer for mortgage rates, auto loans and student debt, hit 5% for the first time since 2007 on Thursday. *Borrowing costs could head even higher as a result. *One group that stands to benefit from higher rates: savers.The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury crossed 5% for the first time in 16 years on Thursday, causing a ripple effect that could raise rates on mortgages, student debt, auto loans and more.After Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said “inflation is still too high,” expectations that the U.S. central bank could continue to tighten monetary policy sent the 10-year yield over the key psychological level for the first time since July 2007.“That has real impacts on the economy, ultimately affecting every individual in the U.S.,” said Mark Hamrick, Bankrate.com’s senior economic analyst.The yield on the 10-year note is a barometer for mortgage rates and other types of loans.“When the 10-year yield goes up, it will have a knock-on effect for almost everything,” according to Columbia Business School economics professor Brett House.Even though many of these consumer loans are fixed, anyone taking out a new loan will likely pay more in interest, he said.(...)
