[翻头条] 美非农数据出台前夕澳元波澜不惊最后跟贴：THE Australian dollar closed little changed in contrast to volatile trading earlier in the week, with traders on the sidelines ahead of key US employment data. 和本周前段时间的跌宕起伏相比，今天澳元波澜不惊。交易者在场边观望即将发布的关键美国的就业数据。 At 5pm (AEST) on Friday, the local unit was trading at $US0.9080/84, up from Thursday's close of $US0.9072/75. 周五5点，澳对美收于0.9080/84，高于昨日收盘价0.9072/75 Since 7am, the local currency traded between $US0.9116 and $US0.9067, according to IRESS data. 根据IRESS数据，自从今早7点，澳对美在0.9116和0.9067间波动。 Commonwealth Bank currency strategist Joseph Capurso said the local unithad a quiet trading day after a volatile week. Commonweath银行的外汇专家Joseph Capurso说本地货币在经过了一周的剧烈震荡后度过了平静的一天。 "In terms of the week that was, it was pretty volatile and we're going to have a pretty bumpy ride over the next seven or eight days," he said. 就整个一周来说，澳元起伏很大。之后7，8天也会非常动荡。 "It's been a pretty boring day." 不过今天很没劲。 National accounts data during the week showed the domestic economy grew by an unexpectedly rapid 3.3 per cent for the year to June. 本周发布的国家经济数据显示上个财年经济出乎意料的增长了3.3 Mr Capurso said the data lead him to expect a bullish statement from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) following its monthly board meeting and subsequent interest rate decision next Tuesday. Capurso说强劲的数据使他预测RBA会在月度董事会议和利率决定后发表看涨的言论。 He said market expectations were for the RBA to hold the cash rate steady at 4.5 per cent. None of the 15 economists surveyed by AAP today expected a rate rise. 他指出市场预测RBA会维持4.5%的利率不变。 15位受到AAP调查的经济学家都这么认为。 Market attention today was on key US jobs data during the offshore session, Mr Capurso said. The US Department of Labour is expected to publish its much anticipated non-farm payrolls data for August and it is not expected to paint a rosy picture about the US employment situation. The jobless rate is forecast to rise marginally to 9.6 per cent from 9.5 per cent the previous month, and 105,000 jobs are expected to have been lost in August. 市场关注的热点是今天收市以后将发布的美国就业数据。 Mr Capurso说，美国劳工部将在今天发布广为期待的8月非农就业数据。这个数据不会给现在的美国就业形势增色。失业率预测会从9.5%微涨到9.6%， 8月份有105，000份工作消失。 Mr Capurso said he expected the private sector employment component of the US series to have the most effect on markets. Mr Capurso说他预计美国经济中的私企这环是影响市场的重要因素。 "Everyone is waiting for the big one tonight," he said. 大家都在等这个数据。 "The risks are the private sector will be weaker than expected. 风险在于私营公司表现比预期的要弱。 "It suggests ... a bigger negative than has been factored in." 这可能导致情况比预计的还遭。 http://www.news.com.au/business/ ... rfkur-1225913957971 最后发表：flyspirit	flyspirit 2010-9-3 19:36	01126	flyspirit 2010-9-3 19:36

【每日一听& 观点讨论】RBA: Double-dip recession is possible 最后跟贴：（背景资料1： JIM MORRISON: The legendary Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, was arrested in 1969 at a Miami concert for taking off his clothes in front of the public. The eccentric artist asked the audience if they wanted to see his genitals, so he displaced them. For this he received eight months in prison, after which his career plummeted, followed by his moving to Paris and, in the end, committed suicide by overdose. The Doors The Doors’ music was a fusion of psychedelic rock, hard rock, blues-rock, and acid rock. They were considered a controversial band, due mostly to Morrison’s cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison’s death on July 3, 1971, the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1973. Despite a career that barely totaled eight years, The Doors still enjoy a huge cult following as well as status in the mainstream music industry as being hugely influential and original. According to the RIAA, they have sold over 32 million albums in the US alone. The Doors went winless by the Grammys for during their entire eight years together.） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 背景资料2 The End of the Euro How the crisis in Greece could lead to the demise of Europe’s most ambitious project. by Niall FergusonMay 07, 2010 Crisis—from the Greek “krisis,” for a turning point in a disease—is one of many English words we owe to the ancient Athenians. Now their modern descendants are reminding us what it really means. Just when it seemed safe to start using the word “recovery,” a Greek crisis is threatening the world economy, and the very existence of the world’s second-biggest currency. The euro seemed like such a good idea just 10 years ago. Europe had already achieved remarkable levels of integration as a trading bloc, to say nothing of its consolidation as a legal community. Monetary union offered all kinds of alluring benefits. It would end forever the exchange-rate volatility that had bedeviled the continent since the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system of fixed rates in the 1970s. No more annoying and costly currency conversions for travelers and businesses. And greater price transparency would improve the flow of intra-European trade. A single European currency also seemed to offer a sweet trade. European countries with problems of excessive public debt would get German-style low inflation and interest rates. And the Germans could quietly hope that the euro would be a little weaker than their own super-strong Deutsche mark. Monetary union had geopolitical appeal, too. In the wake of German reunification, the French worried that Europe was heading for a new kind of domination by its biggest member state. Getting the Germans to pool monetary sovereignty would increase the power of the other members over a potential Fourth Reich. And, best of all, it would create an alternative reserve currency to challenge the mighty U.S. dollar. Still, when European Commission president Jacques Delors first proposed monetary union, it seemed a wildly ambitious project. Even when it was formally adopted as the third pillar of the European Union in the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, many economists—myself included—remained skeptical. It was far from clear that the 11 countries that initially joined up constituted an “optimal currency area.” A single monetary policy would likely amplify, rather than diminish, the fundamental differentials between highly productive Germany and the less efficient periphery. But the worst defect in the design of the EMU, we argued, was that it was uniting Europe’s currencies but leaving its fiscal policies completely uncoordinated. There were, to be sure, “convergence criteria,” which specified that a country could join only if its deficit was less than 3 percent of gross domestic product and its public debt was less than 60 percent. But even when these were turned into a permanent set of fiscal rules in the Stability and Growth Pact, there was no obvious way they could be enforced. The design of the EMU illustrates a profoundly important truth about human institutions. Just because you don’t create a formal procedure for something you would rather didn’t happen, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. This was one of the reasons Britain decided not to join the single currency. A confidential Bank of England paper circulated in 1998 speculated about what would happen if a country—referred to only as “Country I”—ran much larger deficits than were allowed. The result, the bank warned, would be a colossal mess. Why? Because the new European Central Bank (ECB) was prohibited from bailing out a country with such an excess deficit by lending money directly to the government. Yet, at the same time, there was no mechanism for Country I to exit the monetary union. This rigidity was one reason Harvard economist Martin Feldstein foresaw the single currency leading not to greater harmony in Europe, but to conflict. Make that “Country G.” For nearly nine years after Greece became the 12th EMU member on Jan. 1, 2001, the Cassandras appeared to have gotten it wrong. The euro was a triumphant success. Long-term interest rates converged. True, the fiscal rules were not tightly enforced—indeed, none of the member states really satisfied the convergence criteria when the euro was launched in 1999—but the trends were healthy. Deficits shrank. And although there was less convergence of inflation rates and economic performance than had been hoped for, there seemed little cause for concern. Not only Europeans but the whole world took to the euro. Between 1999 and 2003, international banks issued more bonds priced in euros than in dollars. The countries that had stayed out began to wonder if they’d missed not just the bus but a luxury coach. Then, in October 2009, a newly elected Greek government fessed up. Greece’s budget deficit was in fact a whopping 12.7 percent of GDP, as opposed to the 6 percent reported by the old government, and more than three times the 3.7 percent promised to the European Commission at the beginning of 2009. It also turned out that the ECB was indirectly funding more than a third of Greek government borrowing via its emergency lending to Greek banks (giving the lie to the supposed “no bailouts” rule). The news set off precisely the kind of chain reaction the Euro-skeptics had always feared. Lenders had always charged higher interest on Greek bonds than German bonds, even in the euro’s golden years, but that spread suddenly blew out from about 1 percent to above 5, and then 10. The country went into a fiscal death spiral as rising interest rates made the deficit even larger (it’s now up to 13.6 percent) by increasing the costs of debt service. In desperation, the Greeks turned to their fellow Europeans for assistance. That might have been relatively cheap back in January, but the German government hesitated. In the midst of a global financial crisis and a German recession, and with regional elections fast approaching, German voters were in no mood to bail out foreigners who had been fiddling with their fiscal figures. But the longer the Germans dithered, the higher the cost of a Greek bailout rose. Finally, at the end of April, a deal was hammered out whereby the Greeks received €110 billion, of which €30 billion came from the International Monetary Fund, and the rest from the other euro-zone countries. In return, the government in Athens committed to strict fiscal retrenchment, pledging to reduce the deficit to 3 percent by 2014 with a mixture of spending cuts and tax hikes. Problem solved? Unfortunately not. This Greek tragedy has several more acts to come. The first will be a Greek default. It’s simply not credible that the government will be able to deliver such severe fiscal tightening at a time of deep recession. Even if everything were to go according to plan, the debt would peak at 150 percent of GDP, with a crippling 7.5 percent of GDP going on interest payments. Greece manifestly lacks the political will to do this. Prediction: the government of George Papandreou will fall and its successor will inflict a 30 percent “haircut” on holders of Greek bonds. The next act will be even more dramatic. For what makes the crisis in tiny Greece so serious is the contagion effect—the realization among investors that if this can happen to Greek bonds, it can happen to other bonds, too. A scan of the data reveals two other euro-zone countries with bloated debts (Italy and Belgium) and another two with Greek-style overreliance on foreign lending (Portugal and Spain). Last week the rating agency Moody’s placed Portugal’s long-term government bond Aa2 rating on review for a possible downgrade. And as Spain sold five-year bonds paying 3.5 percent—compared with a yield of 2.8 percent two months ago—rumors swirled that Madrid was seeking a bailout even bigger than Greece’s. Nor is this the only way the Greek crisis can spread like a virus throughout the European economy. Their balance sheets stuffed full of dodgy government bonds, the Greek banks are heading into Lehman Brothers territory. For neighboring countries like Bulgaria and Romania, which rely heavily on Greek banks for funding, that spells a credit crunch. Even more alarming is the exposure of other EU banks to Greek debt, which totals $193 billion, according to the Bank for International Settlements. Factor in the risk of copycat crises in Portugal and Spain, and you begin to see the outlines of a disastrous Europewide banking crisis. The only way out of that will be further compromises by the ECB about the paper it accepts as collateral. Already last week it waived its rules, continuing to hold Greek bonds, despite their junk status. If this continues, there is only one way for the euro to go, and that’s down. Keep this in perspective. When the euro was launched back in January 1999, it was worth less than $1.20, and for most of its first three years it was down below parity with the dollar. So its recent slide from close to $1.60 before the global financial crisis to $1.27 last week is far from unprecedented. But the way this crisis is unfolding, further declines seem likely. It will surely be at least a year before investors wake up to the fact that the fiscal predicament of the United States is actually worse than that of the euro zone. The difference is, of course, that the United States has a federal system, while the euro zone does not. In America, Texas automatically bails out Michigan via the redistribution of income and corporation tax receipts. What the Greek crisis has belatedly revealed is that such fiscal centralization is the necessary corollary of a monetary union. Europe now faces a much bigger decision than whether to bail out Greece. The real choice is between becoming a fully fledged United States of Europe, or remaining little more than a modern-day Holy Roman Empire, a gimcrack hodgepodge of “variable geometry” that will sooner or later fall apart.

【翻头条】澳大利亚电讯Next G速度升级 / Telstra to double speeds on Next G 最后跟贴：http://www.theaustralian.com.au/ ... iyzsr-1225912216703 澳大利亚电讯Next G无线宽带业务的企业及商业客户很快将可以使用双倍带宽。澳大利亚电讯将使用双通道技术升级目前的网络，从而允许客户同时使用双通道接入基站，而达到双倍带宽，最高42兆比特每秒。而据澳大利亚电讯宽带部门领导麦克莱特，实际速度大概在1.1至20兆比特每秒之间，少于宣传的一半。而上传只有300K至3兆比特每秒。 “可以达到更好的成绩，但是一般是在非常理想的实验环境下，有非常好的信号质量。当你在马路上时，你的网络有很多变数，取决于信号质量、你的方位、网络负荷。”莱特先生说。澳大利亚电讯本来打算在上周宣布一个网络速度升级计划，但为了不对大选造成影响而推迟宣布，因为宽带是本次大选的一个关键要素。升级计划将覆盖百分之五十的人口，包括所有的首府中心商务区，及100个区域中心，包括新洲卧龙岗，维州本迪戈，和昆州汤斯维尔，这些区域的网络速度将提升500K至8兆比特每秒。这些区域以外的客户下载速度则降至500K至3兆比特每秒。莱特先生说会把升级计划扩展至这些区域以外的地区，因为他们看到需求。 Next G无线宽带业务的速度从21升级到42兆比特每秒是通过澳大利亚电讯的在2月份的一个软件升级。通过爱立信及Qualcomm与Sierra联手推出的HSPA+ Dual Carrier芯片及设备。目前，只有购买使用了电讯公司的Ultimate USB调制解调器的商业、企业及政府客户才能享受本次升级。澳大利亚电讯期待明年会有42兆比特每秒兼容的PDA及掌上设备。电讯公司已经推出Ultimate USB调制解调器，$299一次性，或者0预付的$69每月的24月套餐，包括6GB的下载流量。但电讯公司可能会降价，来吸引和保留客户。同时，沃达丰和记澳洲已经升级套餐为双倍下载流量。VHA $29套餐客户的下载流量从50MB升级为200MB。$49套餐的则从500MB升级为1.5GB。 CORPORATE and business customers on Telstra's Next G wireless broadband network could soon be downloading files at twice their current speeds. Telstra will upgrade on the network using dual-channel technology, which allows carriers to use two channels simultaneously on select mobile base towers to achieve peak download speeds of up to 42 megabits per second. But real speeds are more likely to range from 1.1Mbps to 20Mbps, less than half the advertised speed, according to Telstra executive director of wireless Mike Wright. Upload speeds range from 300 kilobits per second to 3Mbps. "It's possible to achieve better than the typical user speed claims, but those claims occur in the ideal network environment with good signal quality. When you're out on the streets you get a lot of variation where the network is subject to signal quality, your location and the network load," Mr Wright said. Telstra was due to announce the speed boost last week, but delayed the announcement so it would not been seen as interfering in the election, in which broadband was a key theme. The upgrade will cover about 50 per cent of the population, with all capital CBDs receiving the speed boost while another 100 regional centres -- including Wollongong in NSW, Bendigo in Victoria and Townsville in Queensland -- will get speed increases of 500Kbps to 8Mbps. Download speeds fall to between 500Kbps and 3Mbps for customers outside the CBDs and nominated regional centres. Mr Wright said Telstra would try to extend availability of the speed increase as demand rose. The peak download speed increase, from 21Mbps to 42Mbps, was made possible by a software upgrade to Telstra's Next G network in February. The upgrade was achieved with network partner Ericsson, with Qualcomm and Sierra Wireless joining to deliver a HSPA+ Dual Carrier chipset and device. At present, the upgrade is only available to Telstra business, enterprise and government customers who buy and use the telco's Ultimate USB modem. Telstra is expecting 42Mbps-compatible PDAs and handsets to be available in the coming year. The telco has released the Ultimate USB modem for $299 outright or $0 on a 24-month contract at $69 a month, including 6GB of download data. Those prices could drop in the year ahead as the telco invests to chase and keep more customers. Meanwhile, Vodafone Hutchison Australia has more than doubled the data download on most of its mobile cap plans. Customers on VHA's $29 consumer plan have had their data quota increased from 50MB to 200MB. Those on a $49 plan have had the 500MB quota tripled to 1.5GB. 最后发表：bakayoko	bakayoko 2010-8-31 16:39	01161	bakayoko 2010-8-31 16:39

菜鸟翻头条--商务旅客 vs 休闲旅客最后跟贴：新首席官要做出改变, 包括为商务客户提供联接航班服务. 一个被认为已经忘却了航空业的人已经开始学着去整顿Virgin Blue 航空公司. 36年前在Qantas的收发室开始职业生涯的John Borghetti已经判断出了他需要考虑的两个主要问题:对休闲旅客的过分依赖, 和导致丧失商务旅客的国际航线不方便的时间表. Borghetti在成为首席官4个月后, 上周发布了他对公司考察后做的决定: 在第一阶段要着重改善国际航线和新西兰航线. Virgin Blue戏剧性地撤掉了在新西兰国内市场运营的3条航线, Jetstar对此做出了及时反应, 将在今年年底开始增加两条航线来填补市场留出的空白. 由于10月份航线被抽走, 这将会是"让数千旅客忧虑的一天", 新西兰航空要求能和Virgin Blue一起来运送这些旅客(晕, 这句话很不通, 该如何翻译?Air NZ also offered to carry passengers "disrupted" by the October pull-out, which it described as "a concerning day for thousands of air travellers", even though Air NZ is proposing an alliance with Virgin Blue) 更大的改变是从Virgin blue 到Pacific blue的悉尼-斐济航线的转机首次可以对接悉尼-洛杉矶每日午间航班, 并可到达美国东海岸(很不通, 求救However, the greater change was the transfer of Sydney-Fiji flights from V Australia to Pacific Blue to enable the introduction of daily lunchtime flights from Sydney to Los Angeles with onward services to the US east coast for the first time.) Borghetti说因为现在飞机到达LA的时间已经是黄昏时刻, 所以很多这个航班的旅客是去加州,包括迪士尼乐园的休闲游客. Borghetti说:"V澳洲有很好的产品来应对这个需要美国内陆中转的商务市场, 因为一半的游客都不只是到LA. 如果有了好产品而不去挖掘这个联合交通的市场潜力那真是太浪费了." V澳洲也将增加从Melbourne, Brisbane,Perth前往泰国普吉的航班. 他们认为普吉对欧洲市场很重要, 因为普吉可以让自助旅行者买到从欧洲到普吉的便宜机票, 来完成整段旅程. 不过, Borghetti对何时引进国内737的分隔商务舱--这个最大的变化守口如瓶. "我们只有10%的商务旅客,一旦面临廉价航空的竞争, 或者经济形势和消费能力下降, 我们会很危险." "这是一个实际上已被Qanta垄断的市场, 我们应该争取一部分来使我们的业务多样化, 这样就不会让我们完全暴露在休闲旅客市场上了." "我们并不是想追逐那80%的商务市场, 我们要做的是改变我们的业务结构, 争取20%的商务游客." Business versus leisure August 27, 2010 Changes to Virgin under its new chief include connecting flights for corporate flyers, writes Clive Dorman. A man with a reputation for having forgotten more about the airline industry than most of his contemporaries have learnt has gone to work on fixing the Virgin Blue airlines group. John Borghetti, who began his career in the mail room at Qantas 36 years ago, has already identified what he considers two major problems: a dangerously high reliance on leisure travellers and inconvenient scheduling of its international V Australia services that has turned off business travellers. Four months after he became chief executive, Borghetti lastweek announced the results of "phase one" of his review of the group, which focused mainly on changes to international and New Zealand operations. Virgin Blue's dramatic withdrawal from the three-way contest for the NZ domestic market triggered an immediate response from Jetstar, which will base two extra planes in NZ from the end of the year to fill the void. Air NZ also offered to carry passengers "disrupted" by the October pull-out, which it described as "a concerning day for thousands of air travellers", even though Air NZ is proposing an alliance with Virgin Blue. However, the greater change was the transfer of Sydney-Fiji flights from V Australia to Pacific Blue to enable the introduction of daily lunchtime flights from Sydney to Los Angeles with onward services to the US east coast for the first time. Because flights to LA currently don't arrive until late afternoon, Borghetti says a lot of the airline's passengers are leisure travellers destined for California, including Disneyland. "[V Australia has] a very good product for the business market and for the business market you have to have connections to the rest of America because half the traffic from Australia goes beyond LA," Borghetti says. "So to have a product that's that good and not really exploit its potential by targeting corporate traffic is a waste." The airline will also increase services to Phuket, Thailand, from Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. It regards Phuket as important for the European market because it allows independent travellers to combine cheap fares from Europe to Thailand with its own air-pass system. However, Borghetti is tight-lipped about the timing of the airline's biggest change, the introduction of a separate business-class cabin on its domestic 737s. "Only 10 per cent of our business is corporate business so we're very exposed at that [leisure] end when you see declines in the economy or retail spending, when there's massive competition from low-cost carriers," he says. "You've got another end of the market where Qantas has got a virtual monopoly. It makes sense for us to have a chunk of that so that it diversifies our business somewhat and it doesn't leave us totally exposed to the leisure market. "We're not after 80 per cent of the corporate market. What we want to do is change the mix within our business. What I'm trying to get to is a situation where, say, 20 per cent of our business is corporate." 最后发表：平常心	平常心 2010-8-31 12:34	01055	平常心 2010-8-31 12:34
