| European shares fall sharply as U.S. outlook worsens Posted: LONDON (Reuters) - European shares fell sharply on Friday after worse-than-expected jobs data from the United States dealt a fresh blow to recovery expectations for the world's largest economy. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index provisionally closed down 17.32 points, or 1.7 percent, to 1,027.07 points and the Euro STOXX 50 index fell 37.83 points, also 1.7 percent, to 2,249.27 . Equities extended losses in the afternoon, when data showed U.S. ... |
| Goldman Sachs eyes CDS trading with platform Posted: LONDON (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs may extend its new bond trading platform to cover other fixed income products such as credit derivatives after it starts trading corporate bonds this month, sources close to the firm said on Friday. The New York-based investment bank plans to launch in the coming weeks an electronic bond trading system called GSessions. But a source close to the firm said on Friday the bank may extend the system's coverage to other asset classes, specifically credit default swaps (CDS), in a later version. "Credit derivatives could be applicable. ... |
| Fed's Williams "increasingly hopeful" on recovery Posted: DANA POINT, California (Reuters) - A top Federal Reserve official on Friday painted an improving picture of the U.S. economy but said far-too-high unemployment, a festering crisis in Europe and the year-end expiration of stimulative tax cuts make continued easy monetary policy a must. "Substantial risks remain that could cause the economy to perform worse than I expect," San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams said in remarks prepared for delivery to an annual California bankers' meeting at a Ritz-Carlton resort about an hour's drive south of Los Angeles. ... |
| U.S. sets new rules for fracking on federal lands Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration unveiled long-awaited rules on Friday to bolster oversight of so-called "fracking" on public lands, seeking to allay concerns over the technology that has spurred a U.S. boom in shale gas drilling. The Interior Department proposal would require that companies obtain government approval to use hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in drilling for natural gas on federal lands. The rules would not affect drilling on private land, where the bulk of shale exploration is taking place. ... |
| Fund managers struggled on shift from equity funds Posted: BOSTON (Reuters) - In the midst of the stock market's giant first quarter, the best since 1998, investors drove up share prices of money managers expecting booming results. But as the results came in, investors headed for the exits after discovering just how reliant money managers remained on out-of-favor stock funds. Starting on April 18 with BlackRock Inc , the biggest money manager, and running through May 2 with Franklin Resources Inc , investors were disappointed with underwhelming revenue and profit growth. ... |

| Fitch revises Chesapeake's outlook to negative, affirms ratings Posted: (Reuters) - Fitch Ratings revised Chesapeake Energy Corp's ratings outlook to negative, but maintained the company's current default rating at BB, Fitch said on Friday. "The revised Outlook stems from a still aggressive capital spending program for 2012 in a very weak natural gas environment," Fitch said in a statement. The ratings agency added that "corporate governance and board of director oversight" remains a concern. Shares were lately up 20 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $17.39 a share. |

| Climate change ahead for seasonal investment flows Posted: LONDON (Reuters) - Just this once, might it be wiser to 'buy in May'? Followers of the slightly tired but remarkably prescient old stock market adage "Sell in May and stay away" are justifiably confident that history is on their side. Then again, rules are there to be broken and there's just a hint of a change in seasonal investment climate this year. Going against what have become identified as negative seasonal money flows is never terribly attractive for investors and there are no shortage of potential pitfalls looming over the coming northern summer. ... |
| U.S. receives new TransCanada pipeline application Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department confirmed on Friday it has received a new application from TransCanada Corp for a pipeline to run from the U.S.-Canada border to Steele City, Nebraska. The new application includes proposed new routes through the state of Nebraska, the State Department said. Such routes are presumably designed to skirt environmentally sensitive portions of Nebraska which helped sink the earlier Keystone XL pipeline application. The fact that TransCanada has submitted a new application may help U.S. ... |

| Analysis: Spain bad loan mess revives debate on who should pay Posted: LONDON (Reuters) - Spain's plan to rid banks of toxic real estate assets is reviving the politically heated debate over how creditors and taxpayers should share the vast losses still being incurred by the euro zone debt crisis. Nowhere is the issue in sharper relief than in Ireland. The government took an 85 billion euro IMF/EU rescue package to bail out the country's banks, felled by a reckless decade-long building boom, and extended a blanket guarantee to 440 billion euros of the banks' liabilities, including senior bonds. ... |

| Mercuria hires Goldman commodities investment executive: source Posted: NEW YORK (Reuters) - Swiss-based trading house Mercuria has hired Goldman Sachs' former co-head of commodities investment, Shameek Konar, to help manage its global portfolio of energy assets, a source familiar with the firm said on Thursday. Konar, who joined Goldman Sachs two years ago from Constellation Energy, will hold a similar role at Mercuria, working from Houston, said the source. The move was first reported by SparkSpread.com. Spokespeople for Goldman Sachs and Mercuria had no comment. ... |
| Analysis: Central Europe walks austerity tightrope Posted: BUCHAREST (Reuters) - When Romania's government cut salaries by a quarter in 1931, it collapsed and the country ran through 22 different cabinets in a decade and slid into dictatorship and war. Eight decades later, another government introduced a similar austerity measure under an International Monetary Fund-led bailout. It fell and parliament threw out its successor after just two months. Voters in eastern Europe can tolerate a lot after the hardships of communism. But those politicians who pushed austerity to keep markets at bay are now feeling their wrath. ... |

| Thomson Reuters offers more EU antitrust concessions Posted: BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Thomson Reuters has offered additional concessions to the European Commission to end an antitrust investigation related to codes for financial data, a Commission spokesman said on Friday. Thomson Reuters owns the "Reuters Instrument Codes" system for identifying stocks, bonds and other financial instruments on its systems used by traders around the world, controlling access to these RICs, which some competitors and the EU Commission argue stifles competition in the market for financial data. ... |
