Citi to boost provision for potential bad loans on US economic worriesAmerican bank says figure will be up by a ‘few hundred million dollars’ from previous quarterCitigroup is poised to increase provisions for potential bad loans by hundreds of millions of dollars for the second quarter, in a sign of growing financial stress among US consumers and businesses.“Given the macro environment [and] cost of credit compared to last quarter, we expect to be up a few hundred million dollars,” Citi’s head of banking Vis Raghavan told investors at a Morgan Stanley conference on Tuesday.The increase comes amid concerns that Donald Trump’s tariffs will slow US economic growth or even cause a recession. The US president’s levies may also raise the prices of some products — notably on imported goods from China, hitting consumers.Consumer sentiment has darkened in the US as an increasing number of Americans worry about their financial wellbeing. It has, however, stabilised as the world’s two largest economies, the US and China, work to draw up a deal to resolve their trade war.A Conference Board measure of consumer confidence rose to 98 in May, up from 85.7 in April, although it remained below the 110 reading from when Trump won November’s presidential election.JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon said on Tuesday that the biggest US bank by assets experienced “a teeny deterioration” in consumer finances due to the impact of higher tariffs, but he said it would take several months before the full effect became clear.“I think there is a chance real numbers will deteriorate soon,” Dimon said at the Morgan Stanley conference. “Employment will come down a little. Inflation will go up a little bit.” He added that consumers were still “feeling pretty good” and their behaviour would be driven by the labour market. “If you look at consumers — their real behaviour follows unemployment.”(...)
The United States: Morgan Stanley forecasts a continued slowdown in US nominal consumption growth through 2026, with particular weakness in goods spending due to tariff-driven inflation, labor market softening, and increased consumer uncertainty.

US and China agree to framework deal to restore trade war truceDelegations to present plan to Donald Trump and Xi Jinping after Geneva ceasefire came under pressureUS commerce secretary Howard Lutnick did not share details of the framework while speaking to reporters on Tuesday © Toby Melville/ReutersThe US and China have agreed to a framework that restores a truce in their trade war after two days of marathon negotiations in London.The breakthrough late on Tuesday followed an agreement in Geneva last month aimed at easing trade tensions between the world’s two economic superpowers, which had faltered over differences regarding Chinese rare earth exports and US export controls.The US team, which included commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and US trade representative Jamieson Greer, will return to Washington to present the deal to President Donald Trump, Lutnick said. He did not provide any details about the framework.Li Chenggang, China’s vice-minister of commerce, described the talks as “rational, in-depth and candid”, and said the sides had agreed to implement the consensus reached in Geneva and in a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping last week, according to state news agency Xinhua.He expressed hope that the progress made in London “will be conducive to strengthening trust between China and the United States”.China’s CSI 300 index of Shanghai- and Shenzhen-listed stocks rose 0.8 per cent on Wednesday, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng benchmark was up about 1 per cent. Futures tracking the S&P 500 were down 0.3 per cent.Both countries agreed in Geneva last month to slash their respective tariffs by 115 percentage points and provided a 90-day window to resolve the trade war.But the ceasefire came under pressure after Washington accused Beijing of reneging on an agreement to speed up the export of rare earths, while China criticised new US export controls.The US team, which also included Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, had held two days of talks with the Chinese delegation, led by He Lifeng, a vice-premier responsible for the economy. Earlier on Tuesday, Lutnick said the talks could stretch into a third day.Bessent left London before the talks ended to return to Washington ahead of a previously scheduled plan to testify before Congress on Wednesday.The talks were held in the historic Lancaster House mansion in central London, a short walk from Buckingham Palace, which was provided by the British government as a neutral ground for the talks.Chinese vice-premier He Lifeng leaves Lancaster House © Charlie Bibby/FTThe negotiations were launched to ensure Chinese exports of rare earths to the US and American technology export controls on China did not derail broader talks between the sides.Ahead of the first round of talks in Geneva, Bessent had warned that the high level of mutual tariffs had amounted to an effective embargo on bilateral trade.Chinese exports to the US fell more steeply in May compared with a year earlier than at any point since the pandemic in 2020.The US had said China was not honouring its pledge in Geneva to ease restrictions on rare earths exports, which are critical to the defence, car and tech industries, and was dragging its feet over approving licences for shipments, affecting manufacturing supply chains in the US and Europe.Beijing has accused the US of “seriously violating” the Geneva agreement after it announced new restrictions on sales of chip design software to Chinese companies.It has also objected to the US issuing new warnings on global use of Huawei chips, and cancelling visas for Chinese students.On Monday, a senior White House official indicated that Trump could ease restrictions on selling chips to China if Beijing agreed to speed up the export of rare earths.That would amount to a significant policy shift from former president Joe Biden’s administration, which implemented what it called a “small yard, high fence” approach to restrict Beijing’s ability to obtain US technology that could be used to help its military.Lutnick told reporters in London that he expected that “the topic of rare earth minerals and magnets . . . will be resolved in this framework”.He added that export restrictions applied by thee US “when those rare earths were not coming” would also be lifted “as President Trump said, in a balanced way”.Separately, a US federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed some of Trump’s broadest tariffs to remain in place while it reviews a lower-court ruling that had blocked his “liberation day” levies on US trading partners.The ruling extended an earlier, temporary reprieve, and will allow Trump to enact the measures as well as separate levies targeting Mexico, Canada and China. The president has however already paused the wider “reciprocal” tariffs for 90 days.
Otro Déjà vu... Demos la bienvenida a las “hipotecas a 70 años”: directivos inmobiliarios avisan del colapso en el mercado de la viviendahttps://andaluciainforma.eldiario.es/actualidad/demos-la-bienvenida-a-las-hipotecas-a-70-anos-directivos-inmobiliarios-avisan-del-colapso-en-el-mercado-de-la-vivienda/La situación inmobiliaria del país está cogiendo un cáliz un tanto oscuro. Los precios de venta y del alquiler están por las nubes, sin visos de que frene ese aumento. Esta situación nos va llevando poco a poco hacia el colapso del mercado de la vivienda. Y no lo decimos nosotros, reconocidos directivos de este sector han sido los que han dado la voz de alarma. Si no se encuentran soluciones a corto plazo, acabaremos viendo más pronto que tarde hipotecas a 70 años. Aunque suene a “chufla”, en países como Reino Unido ya se han dado casos de hipotecas de hasta 100 años, en las que los hijos continúan pagando, y con unos intereses que ríete tú de los prestamistas.
¿Quién es son los reconocidos directivos de este 'sectoh'?
Los hechos. El dinero que los países deben devolver a China cada año supera ya el dinero "nuevo" que China presta. Es el fin del modelo expansivo de la última década: el país está pasando de ser un prestamista generoso a convertirse en un acreedor implacable.

Buenos días,Una reflexión. Pedaleando hacia el trabajo (vivo, bueno, mantengo a un casero con un piso cerca de mi trabajo en el centro, lo cual supone que malvivo) atravieso varias calles del barrio bueno de Madrid (si es que se puede decir eso). Me cruzo con un par de obras de viviendas. Edificios con fachadas de mármol que casan con el resto de edificios de una forma discutible. Y estoy seguro que ya están vendidos a precios bastante elevados que seguro han sido ya superados y algún propietario ya ha hecho el pase con cierta ganancia. Nada que no hayamos visto y con lo que más de uno se ha enriquecido y otros se han quemado. Mi reflexión es que veo cierto paralelismo entre esos edificios y los coches que esquivo en mi bicicleta municipal. Según lo veo yo, la inflación rara tras la pandemia y la regulación hizo que los fabricantes europeos se centraran en los coches de alta gama, ya que ante la falta de suministros asequibles decidieron centrarse en los autos que más margen les daban, dejando de lado las opciones baratas. Lo del "Coche del Pueblo" de Volks-Wagen paso a mejor vida. Así les ha ido y así nos va a las clases bajas urbanas, pedaleando o en metro sin aire acondicionado. Y creo que en las viviendas está pasando lo mismo. El promotor que esté construyendo en el barrio de Salamanca (o en la Moraleja) lo hace porque no puede hacerlo en otro sitio: su capital no le da más que para construir donde puede colocar el producto a tocateja, sin financiación, con un margen que compensa y que no soluciona el problema social de la vivienda ya que son muy pocas viviendas para la demanda (no sé si utilizar esa palabra aquí, podemos utilizar la de "necesidad no satisfecha") que hay. Y cómo la industria de la automoción, creo que la industria de la construcción va por el mismo camino.Creo que necesitamos una industria de la construcción. Reflexiono también sobre las manifestaciones de la riqueza, de la renta acumulada y en los moais de la Isla de Pascua. La película de "Rapa Nui" era entretenida pero no me la acabo de creer mucho en eso de culpar a los moais del colapso. Que es la prueba arqueológica remanente de lo que hubo allí está claro, la más visual, pero prefiero una excavación de un poblado para poder dar una explicación al motivo del colapso.
