The red meat sector clings to imports… and “consumer protectors” condemn speculation
Meat professionals and consumer protection associations rejected Mohammed Seddiqi, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests, limiting his explanation of the rise in red meat prices to drought and fodder prices only, instead of talking about the “depth of the problem” related to “speculators and the import controversy.”
Siddiqi answered the representatives’ questions in response to the controversy over the rise in red meat prices in Moroccan markets, saying: “The reason is due to the deterioration of the vegetation cover of pastures, the lack of pasture production, and the high costs of fodder, and what coincides with the continuation of successive years of drought that has cast a strong shadow on national production.”
Sector professionals consider that “justifications are acceptable; But it does not comprehensively address the rest of the imbalances that contribute to making prices high, such as distributing feed subsidies through traditional methods instead of resorting to factories directly, and the import difficulties that are still present.”

Today’s stock markets, May 3rd. US jobs less brilliant than expected, Wall Street jumps
#Todays #stock #markets #3rd #jobs #brilliant #expected #Wall #Street #jumps
MILAN – The American economy created fewer jobs than expected in April, and the data is welcomed by Wall Street with a jump in futures. The apparent contradiction is explained by the fact that the strength of the Stars and Stripes economy, coupled with the stickiness of inflation which is difficult to abate, has gradually made the right moment for the Fed to cut the cost of money, at the highest for many months now. Absorbed the last intervention of FedThat left rates unchanged excluding at least new increases, the markets’ focus was placed precisely on US employment report. The response is the creation of 175,000 jobs, less than the expectations of analysts who were betting on 240,000. The unemployment rate stood at 3.9%, above the 3.8% the market was betting on.
The market’s reaction to the numbers is clear: a jump in Wall Street and Treasury futures, with yields moving in the opposite direction and therefore plummeting. On Bloomberg we note that the swaps, after the data, reflect Fed rate cuts of 50 points by the end of the year: if at the beginning of the year six interventions were priced in, only one was reached last month and now suddenly it went back to two.
In the morning, it arrived from the Eurozone the unemployment rate which was stable at 6.5% in March.

At the sound of the bell, the Dow Jones was up by 1.24%, the S&P 500 recorded +1.07% while the Nasdaq, also supported by Apple’s quarterly report, gained 1.79%.
