Monday – Newsy Today

Europe: how is the second wave going and what measures are countries taking | coronavirus – Health

October 21, 2020 by drbyos

With records of reported cases that are three times higher than those of the first peak of the pandemic in MarchEurope is submerged in its second wave of the new coronavirus, the same wave that experts predicted a few months ago. The data is worrying. In the last week, cases increased 44 percent, with a trend that rapidly tends to place this continent again as the focus of the pandemic.

Proof of this is that Europe breaks its own records of positives daily, with figures above 150,000 daily. Those numbers, as analyzed by health authorities, are located very close to those that America showed in August, which for now is the region most affected by the pandemic.

And that also shows that the two continents are the face of the same coin, but at the wrong time: if in August America was locked and Europeans were enjoying their holidays, Now that the former are beginning to experience the ‘new normal’, it is Europe that is once again suffering the return of restrictions.

The situation is such that the World Health Organization (WHO) warned yesterday Saturday that many European cities are suffering significant increases in the number of patients treated in the intensive care units (ICU) of their hospitals, with what they could reach their limit in the coming weeks, thus contradicting those who lowered the profile of gravity to the predicted second wave.

Recently, the director for Europe of the WHO, Hans Kluge, had clarified that although the number of cases today is higher “compared to the peak of the April curve”, the “number of deaths represents one fifth” of those recorded in the hardest moment of the pandemic.

However, in the face of this potential overflow of serious cases, the WHO itself warned this week that if trends and projections, Europe could reach a mortality level “four or five times higher than in April” if the restrictions that have been applied are gradually and prematurely lifted.

For now, Europe already has more than 7 million positives and about 250,000 deaths.

By countries

When referencing cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the Czech Republic ranks first in this part of the world with 660.8 cases, triggered in the last two weeks. This rate is followed by Belgium (505.4), the Netherlands (435.2), France (321.6), the United Kingdom (300.2) and Spain (295), according to the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention , with data as of October 16.

France, for example, recorded 30,000 new coronavirus cases and 88 deaths on Friday alone. “It’s frightening. I feel like I’m going back to March, ”said Hocine Saal, head of the emergency service at the Montreuil hospital, on the outskirts of Paris.

Taking measurements

The responses to the advance of the pandemic have not been long in coming. Since this Saturday, for example, a curfew has been in force in Paris and other French cities, one of the measures that continue to multiply on the continent to stop the spread of the virus.

In France, activities were paralyzed in some cities from Saturday between 9:00 pm and 6:00 am Around 20 million people in Paris and eight other cities, such as Marseille, will be affected under penalty of fines, and there will only be exceptions with authorization.

Belgium ordered the closure of cafes and restaurants starting Monday for four weeks. For its part, London went further in restricting people: banned its nine million inhabitants from meeting with family and friends in closed spaces since this Saturday.

In Germany, a country considered exemplary in its management of the first wave, the situation is also critical. Changes were announced there. Chancellor Angela Merkel called for new restrictions after registering a record 6,638 cases on Friday.

In regions where more than 35 new cases are confirmed per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days, the capacity will be limited to private events and the use of masks will be imposed when distances cannot be maintained or people have to share space for a certain time. In addition, if the 50 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants are exceeded, stricter rules will be imposed, such as restaurant closings at 11pm

On the other hand, in Spain, the region of Catalonia decided to close all its bars and restaurants for 15 days, to try to avoid a “total confinement”. These measures come after strong movement restrictions in Madrid imposed by the central government.

And Italy, which was the first country in Europe affected by the pandemic and which until now had managed to keep the outbreak under control, surpassed the threshold of 10,000 cases on Friday. The regions most affected by the rebound are Lombardy (north), Campania (Naples region, south) and Piedmont (north-west).

The new restrictive measures include a ban on private parties, more rigid hours for bars and restaurants, and limits the number of guests at home to six. Weddings and baptisms must have a maximum of 30 guests and the use of masks, even outdoors, is mandatory throughout the country under penalty of a fine of up to 1,000 euros (about $ 900).

And while all this is happening, the world is stepping on the accelerator for the development of effective therapeutic interventions or a vaccine that prevents contagion, something that would only happen until next year. Meanwhile, governments must make use of what is known to be effective: masks, distance and hand washing.

Stocks and bonds rose in a volatile wheel and country risk fell for the second time in a row

September 28, 2020 by drbyos

Since the new restrictions for access to the official exchange market, the benchmark accumulated a decline of 6.1%, while at the same time it was located close to 20% below the maximums reached in August.

Despite the improvements over the end of the week, the Portfolio Personal Inversiones brokerage noted that there is a perceived tendency for investors to exit the Argentine risk, behavior that was reflected in the acceleration of the operations of Cedears (shares of non-Argentine companies listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange) over local shares.

The shares that rose the most this Friday were those of the energy sector; the papers of Cresud, Central Puerto, Transportadora de Gas del Norte and Transener posted gains of over 3.5%.

Meanwhile, the ADRs of Argentine companies, which are listed on Wall Street, closed unevenly after operating with losses for much of the round and suffering significant significant losses at the beginning of the week.

Thursday, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that it will send a mission to Argentina in early October in order to discuss the terms of the new agreement.

“In the midst of political tensions and economic uncertainty, the fund’s mission awakens expectations, since it could not only help to agree on a comprehensive economic plan that gives investors greater confidence, but also contribute to the roll-over of debts to continue clearing the financial program for the next few years, “said the economist Gustavo Ber.

It should be remembered that the debt to be restructured with the multilateral credit organization amounts to US $ 44,000 million. The options being considered are, on the one hand, signing a new “stand-by” that would allow the country to start paying from 2024 in exchange for a commitment in fiscal matters or, on the other hand, agreeing on an extended facility plan ( “EFF”), which would be looser in terms of time but more rigorous in terms of the conditions for the Government’s economic plan.

Bonds and country risk

In the fixed income segment, the new bonds aroused a little more demand from operators, that made selective purchases in the midst of reduced liquidity.

Among the brand-new titles, those with longer terms ended up higher; Global D 2035 (New York law) grew 0.6% and Bonar 2041 (local law) rose 1.4%. Hand in hand with an increase in stock exchange rates, bonds denominated in dollars showed a majority of falls while those denominated in pesos rose.

With these data, in the accumulated of the week, all the local titles presented contractions around 5%.

“There is no news that can justify the ups or downs, everything is still in a situation of total uncertainty. This is more contingent on small purchases and sales without liquidity, than any possible good news for the future, “Mariano Sardáns, director of the asset manager FDI, told Reuters.

“The falls in bonds in recent days made little sense when the government’s short-term expenditures are almost nil. There were already some debt holders who had planned to leave before the swap, but as they had no liquidity, these exits they cause you big falls, “he added.

The bonds came from yielding an average 2.4% in the first four days of the week, which led to Risk country to exceed 1,400 points. However, in the last two days, the index produced by the JP Morgan fell and this Friday it stood at 1,332 basis points. Two consecutive falls were not perceived in this indicator since the beginning of September, when the successful results of the debt swaps were announced.

They raid hostel in Ponedera for illegal connection to Electricaribe

September 28, 2020 by drbyos

Autoriades raided the establishment “Shalom Hostal Spa”, located in the municipality of Ponedera, in order to verify the alleged commission of the crime of fraud of fluids by illegal connection to the electric power service.

The operation, carried out this Thursday morning, was led by Electricaribe, the Attorney General’s Office, the Sijin and the Special Operations Group (Goes) of the National Police, Atlantic section. In its development the existence of a large electrical infrastructure operating illegally was confirmed.

A 112.5 KVA power transformer was found connected to the Electricaribe network. With this capacity, it is estimated that the monthly billing would be higher than 4 million pesos.

The superintendent, Natasha Avendaño García, confirmed that, “despite having the energy service, the establishment is not formalized as an Electricaribe client. The place has more than 30 rooms, more than 40 air conditioners, an auditorium for events with capacity for 200 people, and only paid 130 thousand pesos of energy per month. This value was included in the total consumption of the San Jorge neighborhood community, in subnormality, in Ponedera (Atlántico), thus violating the rights of users who were unaware that they were paying for the energy consumption of the property ”.

The purpose of the raid was to inspect, collect evidence, and dismantle the illegal connection. It was carried out at the request of Electricaribe, in response to complaints from the public and to the refusal of the owners of the establishment to formalize themselves as a user of the company. During the procedure, the hostel manager was captured.

Faced with this case, and given the upcoming entry of the new energy service operators in the Caribbean, the superintendency invited the community and local authorities to keep reporting power theft and other illegal practices that affect the provision of the service and the interests of the users.

Dollar today: how much it closed this Monday, September 21

September 23, 2020 by drbyos

Applying the 30% PAIS tax, the currency amounted to $ 103.62. Additionally, due to the 35% withholding on account of Income and Personal Property taxes, the “joint venture” closed at $ 131.52.

In relation to the possibility of acquiring the so-called savings dollar, the Anses reported that banking entities can check if a person is a beneficiary of a social plan through the negative certification website on the page of the pension unit, to give compliance with the regulations of the Central Bank in this regard.

The Central Bank, through communication “A” 7105 determined that Banks will not be able to open a savings bank in foreign currency to operate in foreign currency for people who are beneficiaries of a plan or program characterized as social assistance, including food subsidies..

For its part, The wholesale dollar advanced 21 cents to $ 75.59, offsetting the inactivity of the weekend, coupled with the official regulation price that the Central Bank sets daily in its usual selling position.

One of the main concerns is that, despite the tourniquet that was made to the stocks, the BCRA continued to lose dollars in the last days of the week: on Friday the 18th, the gross reserves stood at US $ 42,433 million, that is, US $ 40 million less than those on Thursday. The loss was $ 88 if compared to Wednesday.

Although this Monday, according to private sources, the entity led by Miguel Pesce was able to end the day with a positive balance, the Gross International Reserves fell US $ 185 million to US $ 42,248 million.

Roberto Geretto, an economist at Banco CMF, stressed that this week “attention will continue to be on the exchange rate, where the BCRA continues to lose reserves despite the larger stocks. The current exchange rate scheme will in the best of cases avoid a fall in reserves, but not an increase in them. “

From the consulting firm VatNet Research, they indicated that “after deciding the measures, the new scheme could last a while, which would be verified if liquid reserves accumulate.” They added: “The big question is the exchange rate. Due to the trade surplus, the current price looks reasonable, but not because of the convertibility ratio. Perhaps the practical way to solve it would be to accelerate the pace of the devaluation of the peso.”

Regarding the situation of the companies, a realignment is expected given that the amount allowed to access the exchange market was limited to 40% of their debt. Due, for the remaining 60%, submit a refinancing or restructuring plan to the market.

“This restriction had a negative impact on the prospects of local companies, which had already been hit hard by the difficult context, and clearly affects any investment and financing expectations. In fact, the measures complicate access to external financing from the private sector, and are one more sign of the strong presence of the State, “they commented from the consulting firm PPI.

“There are several companies that have already exchanged part of their debts in recent months and others that are currently in restructuring processes. Obviously, after these measures, we will begin to see corporate swaps on a more recurring basis, “they added.

As a reference, the risk rating agency Moody’s indicated that the pandemic and the country’s fragile economic situation problems for corporate credit will increase in most sectors of the economy at least until mid-2021.

The rating agency pointed out that the restructuring of the debt with external creditors could provide some relief to the situation, but they clarify that the government’s fiscal accounts limit the ability to support the business sector.

On the other hand, the economist Gustavo Ber pointed out that “financial dollars continue to readjust upward since the operators continue to be more inclined towards caution, and therefore the search for coverage, accompanying the pronounced weakness that financial assets have been suffering“.

The CCL gap with the dollar closed the day at 85% while the MEP presented a spread of 73.3%.

Wholesale dollar

The dollar began the week with a new advance in the wholesale segment, in a round with a selling tone but always respecting the fluctuation band established by the Central Bank.

The highs were noted at the start at $ 75.59. The supply of foreign currency intensified throughout the day, fluently supplying authorized purchase orders. The excess supply available, in this framework, was absorbed by official activity with purchases in the sector where banks and companies operate and that at the same time they defended the price when it touched minimum at $ 75.58. The volume traded amounted to US $ 213 million.

The usual private market sources estimated that the positive balance of the Central Bank exceeded US $ 50 million, approximately.

“With the demand for foreign currency diluted due to the effect of the greater exchange rate lock, the scenario presented a very favorable outlook for the official regulation who, through purchases, absorbed the excess supply available, recovering part of the resources used in the previous rounds to meet the unsatisfied demand“, highlighted the analyst Gustavo Quintana.

In turn, “as a result of regulation and normative restrictions, the local market did not accept external nervousness and volatility, maintaining a behavior from which it has not deviated for several months“.

Blue Dollar

In a market with few operations, the blue dollar went up $ 1 to $ 141 for sale, accumulating a $ 10 advance from last week, as a reaction to the measures launched by the Central Bank, AFIP, and the CNV to discourage the demand for Dollars in the official market.

He Parallel ticket, which came off three consecutive weekly drops, posted an escalation of $ 9 last week, driven by the greater restrictions to operate in the official market.

In this way, the gap with the wholesale official ended the week at 86.5%, after exceeding 92% last Wednesday. The spread between the two quotes reached a maximum of 104% in mid-May.

The BCRA, together with the CNV and AFIP, on Tuesday tightened access to the official exchange market for consumption abroad, purchases of foreign currency for savings and exchange operations with bonds, in order to protect the battered reserves.

Most analysts maintain that these measures will ease the pressure on reserves in the short term but are not sustainable in the long term and could cause an increase in exchange rate gaps, since devaluation expectations remain latent but the possibilities of accessing the official market are lower.

Fees

In the ROFEX futures market, US $ 142 million were traded. The terms remained stable in their prices. The BCRA maintains its dissuasive positions. End of September ended with a rate of 31.12%; October at 35.61%.

End of the year at $ 84.88 with a TNA of 44.41%. The open contract positions, totaled the sum of 4.810 million dollars.

DHL: Better live tracking & change of the drop-off location until shortly before delivery

Deutsche Post wants to improve the live tracking of its shipments. By the end of 2020, the recipient should be able to change the drop-off location for 80 percent of the shipments until shortly before delivery. Mail delivery, on the other hand, could be thinned out.

DHL: Better live tracking and change of the delivery location until shortly before delivery

Parcel delivery: Change the delivery point up to 15 minutes before delivery

Swiss Post wants to improve live tracking for parcel delivery by the end of 2020, like the world

reported
. Then the parcel recipients should be given a time window for the morning delivery for the majority of the shipments and be able to track the parcel on the Internet. The recipient should then be able to change the delivery location until shortly before delivery. This should be possible for 80 percent of the programs by the end of 2020.

Deutsche Post had that

Live Tracking
for broadcasts announced some time ago

and already started to introduce it.
But the corona crisis led to a delay in implementation, as Tobias Meyer, Deutsche Post Board Member for the letter and parcel business, admits to the world. Swiss Post now wants to make up for this deficit.

If Deutsche Post has its way, you will only receive new “letters” on Monday by email. Because the Deutsche Post wants to end the classic mail delivery on Monday.

If the post would end the previous six-day delivery of letters across the board and only deliver letters on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the company could save money, according to Meyer. But there would be a

new postal law
required.

The cancellation of mail delivery on Monday should only affect private individuals, while companies should continue to receive their mail on Monday.

However, the restriction on the delivery of letters would not automatically decrease the postage. The currently applicable postage fees have only been approved by the Federal Network Agency until the end of 2021. The postage could then be reset.

Deutsche Post currently has around 140,000 employees who delivered record quantities of parcels during the corona crisis. The post manager’s request comes at a point in time when the post is fighting with the Ver.di union for wage increases. Ver.di is demanding 5.5 percent more wages for Post employees and has already organized warning strikes to enforce its demands. Swiss Post rejects Ver.di’s request on the grounds that only the parcel business is booming, while the number of letters delivered is continuing to decline. Overall, however, the postal profits from the mail and parcel business rose by 40 percent in the first half of 2020.

Warming is expected in the European part of Russia on September 17, this Thursday will be the warmest day of the current week. This was stated by the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia Roman Vilfand, reports RIA Novosti.

According to him, on September 17 the air will warm up to plus 21-23 degrees, and in some places up to plus 24 degrees.

The specialist said that after a short-term warming, the temperature will drop again. As Vilfand explained, the atmospheric front will move to the center of the European part of Russia, which will cause a cooling by 6-8 degrees.

“Next weekend will not be as comfortable as this one. As soon as such cold weather is noted, one should rejoice and wait for Indian summer, ”the head of the Hydrometeorological Center said.

Wilfand assessed the likelihood of recognizing 2020 as the warmest year in history
