Google News: The week that Europe stumbled to the brink of disaster… and stopped

Google News

Last week, no government in Europe dared feel safe, and contagion was the word on everyone's lips. Investors' attention swung from Italy to Greece and then even to France, and bets poured in over who would be next to succumb to the eurozone's spiralling debt crisis. It was also a week of political turmoil, as Greece appointed a former European central banker as its interim prime minister and Italy's Silvio Berlusconi was pushed towards the exit. If the week began with a sense of limbo, it rapidly spun into chaos. Italy's media mogul PM was insisting that he remained in charge for the time being, and promised a confidence vote with the words: "I want to look into the faces of those who are trying to betray me." He went on Facebook to deny rumours of his imminent resignation, crushing hopes that a new government would rapidly be drafted in to implement reforms. The country's borrowing costs rose rapidly, reaching the levels that had forced bailouts in Portugal, Greece and Ireland. In

Google News: World leaders forge broad deal on Asia-Pacific trade

Obama, world leaders forge broad deal on Asia-Pacific trade By Vicki Needham - 11/12/11 08:31 PM ET As expected, world trade leaders announced Saturday the broad outlines of an agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) with the intention of completing negotiations on a legal framework "as rapidly as possible." During talks during the U.S.-hosted Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Honolulu world leaders from 21 countries, trade officials of the nine negotiating nations said a deal has been forged to move ahead within the next year that would open trade in the Pacific Rim. "There are still plenty of details to work out, but we are confident that we can do so," President Obama said following the meeting "So we've directed our teams to finalize this agreement in the coming year," he said. "It is an ambitious goal, but we are optimistic that we can get it done." Although July has been floated as a deadline, U.S. trade officials would only say they hope to complete a d

Google News: Italy's Soaring Borrowing Costs 'Pushing World Economy Into Dangerzone'

Google News

In stock markets, investors unleashed a wave of selling across the board in Europe and the United States. In Europe, the major indexes ended down around 2 percent. Wall Street opened sharply lower and never recovered, pushing the broader market deeper into negative territory for the year. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index ended down 3.7 percent, or 46.82 points, at 1,229.10. As interest rates on Italian bonds peaked at about 7.48 percent, the European Central Bank intervened by buying the debt, traders said, causing rates to fall back slightly. But this latest phase of Europe's financial crisis is putting a new focus on the central bank, with many expecting it to have to act more aggressively in buying Italian debt than it has so far. The euro tumbled, and Spanish and French bond yields also rose amid fears that the contagion could spread further. However, some gauges of credit market stress did not worsen markedly on the day. And analysts said Italy is a stronger economy than
