May 24 (Reuters) – Latin America should suffer just a short,
sharp shock to its financial markets when the U.S. Federal
Reserve starts to taper its super easy monetary policy as
investors remain convinced of the region’s solid economic
prospects and are attracted by its high-yielding assets.

Investors are coming around to the idea that when the Fed
begins slowing the money printing presses and buys fewer bonds,
it will be because the policy has succeeded in getting the U.S.
economy to grow in a sustainable way. That growth should buoy
global demand and help sales of Latin America’s key exports.

May 21 (Reuters)- NEW YORK/WASHINGTON – Europe and the
United States both said on Tuesday they were not holding
coordinated talks to negotiate an end to a trade dispute with
China over the dumping of solar panels onto their respective
markets.

The European Union has until June 5 to decide whether to
impose duties averaging 47 percent on Chinese manufactured solar
panels. The United States has already imposed duties of about 30
percent on Chinese manufacturers.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Europe’s top trade official for the first time late on Friday officially cited Chinese mobile telecommunications equipment makers Huawei and ZTE Corp for violating anti-dumping and anti-subsidy guidelines.

European Union Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht said he was prepared to launch a formal investigation into anti-competitive behavior by these Chinese companies in order to protect a “strategic” sector of Europe’s economy.
