Global: Basel regulators to bolster bank capital requirements . Regulators from 27 nations more than doubled their capital requirements for banks, giving lenders as long as eight years to comply in full, as part of international efforts to prevent future financial crises. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision  will require lenders to have common equity equal to at least 4.5% of assets, weighted according to their risk. Regulators will introduce an additional capital buffer of 2.5% to withstand future stress, the committee said in a statement. Banks that fail to meet that second buffer would be stopped from paying dividends, though not forced to raise cash. (Source: Bloomberg)

Asia stocks keep global rally alive; yen rises
HONG KONG, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Asian stocks edged up while the yen rose to a 15-year high ahead of a decisive vote in Japan, leaving unclear whether a rally that lifted global equities to the highest in four months can stay alive.
"Although better data in the U.S. and China and the agreement in Basel on new regulations have boosted risk appetite, the moves are already beginning to look exhausted," Mitul Kotecha, global head of foreign exchange strategy at Credit Agricole CIB, said in a note.

China economy shows inner strength in buoyant data
BEIJING, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Chinese factories ramped up production in August and money growth easily topped expectations, showing that the economy remained buoyant despite government efforts to clamp down on bank lending and property speculation.
Investment was also resilient, while inflation sped to its fastest pace in 22 months, though the bulk of price rises stemmed from higher food costs, which analysts have said should be transitory after a spell of bad weather across China this summer.

IMF says risks to global growth have intensified
WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Friday that downside risks to global recovery have intensified due to recent turbulence in sovereign debt markets and continued weakness in the financial sector.
The IMF, in a briefing note prepared for Group of 20 deputy finance ministers, said global growth had been somewhat stronger than expected during the first half of 2010, "but is projected to slow temporarily during the second half of 2010 and the first half of 2011."

PRECIOUS-Gold steady near highs; consumers offset risk demand
LONDON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Gold steadied within about 1.0 percent of record highs on Monday, as improving consumer demand helped cushion the impact of upbeat Chinese economic data on investors' desire for the safe-haven asset.
"It seems risk is a bit back on the table, with China looking okay and Basel swinging the whip, but so far ahead that it's going to take quite a few years for the banks to implement (the rules)," Ole Hansen, senior manager at Saxo Bank, said.

FOREX-New bank rules, Chinese data boost euro

20100914 0855 Soy Oil & Palm Oil Related News.

U.S. soy product futures finished mixed, with soyoil rising slightly on solid demand. Soyoil export sales are expected to remain firm after the USDA last week announced a string of deals in its daily reporting system. China and Peru were among the buyers last week. Weekly U.S. soyoil export sales, issued Thursday, were 138,200 tons, compared to 12,300 tons the previous week and 16,000 tons the week before that. "It seems like the export news on that bean oil continues to be pretty stout," a broker says. Commodity funds bought an estimated 1,000 soyoil contracts at CBOT, a light amount. CBOT December soyoil ended up 0.05 cent at 41.81 cents per pound, and CBOT December soymeal slipped 20 cents to $293.50 per short ton.(Source: CME)

SURVEY: NOPA Soy Crush Expected To Drop To 120 Million Bushels(Source: CME)
A monthly report from the National Oilseed Processors Association is expected to confirm that fewer soybeans were crushed in August than July due to a seasonal slowdown in operations and a lack of available supplies. The NOPA report, due out at 8:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday, is projected to say processors crushed 120 million bushels of soybeans in August, down from 124.181 million bushels in July, according to a survey of analysts by Dow Jones Newswires. The range of analysts' estimates was 116.3 million to 124 million. The NOPA report only includes figures from member processors. "There's just a seasonal fall in the crush," said Dan Basse, president of AgResource Company, a Chicago-based agricultural research firm. "I think the tightness of old-crop beans just exacerbated that."
Supplies of soybeans from the last harvest, or the "old crop," are tight because of strong demand and a lack of selling by farmers. Harvest of the next soybean crop, or the "new crop," will pick up speed this month and likely finish next month. Most analysts projected the NOPA report will show a decline in soyoil stocks from last month. The average of analysts' estimates was 2.87 billion pounds, compared to July soyoil stocks of 3.026 billion. Estimates ranged from 2.75 billion pounds to 3.123 billion pounds. Soyoil stocks should decline from last month because exports have been strong, said Anne Frick, senior oilseed analyst for Prudential Bache. Reduced crushings also indicate soyoil stocks will drop, another analyst said. However, Basse projected a modest increase in stocks because the struggling biodiesel industry, hurt by the expiration of a tax credit promoting biodiesel production, is not using as much soyoil as it used to.

Malaysia End-August Palm Oil Stocks Likely 1.65-1.7 Million Tons.(Source: CME)
Malaysia's Aug. 31 palm oil inventory levels likely reached 1.65 million to 1.70 million metric tons, their highest level since March, due to weak export demand and rising palm oil production, market participants said Monday. Stocks likely rose more sharply than in preceding months due to increased palm imports from Indonesia, a Singapore-based trading executive said. He estimated that palm oil imports in August were around 100,000 tons compared with usual levels of around 20,000 to 25,000 tons as Indonesian traders rushed to move cargoes before Indonesia raised its crude palm oil export tax to 6% from 3% on Sept. 1. Palm oil output likely rose 8% to 10% from 1.52 million tons the previous month, as favorable weather conditions aided harvesting, a company executive at a Malaysia-based major plantation company said. End-July inventory levels were 1.41 million tons, data from the government-linked Malaysian Palm Oil Board showed.
"September production data may not rise significantly as the long Eid holidays have disrupted or slowed down harvesting rounds at the estates," the executive said. MPOB is due to issue palm oil production, stock and export figures Wednesday. Benchmark palm oil prices on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives have risen 5.6% since the start of this month due to concerns that an Islamic holiday would slow harvesting.

China Ministry: September Soybean Imports Likely 4.73 Million Tons(Source: CME)
China is likely to import about 4.73 million metric tons of soybeans this month, the Ministry of Commerce said Monday. The estimate is slightly lower than imports in August, when 4.76 million tons of soybeans were imported, according to data last week from the General Administration of Customs. Such volumes are still historically high. The forecast for imports this month represents a 72% rise from a year earlier. The estimate, published on the ministry's website, is based on reports from importers during the Aug. 16-Aug. 31 period. The regular forecast is usually lower than the actual import figure as it doesn't include all cargoes. The ministry issues the estimates twice a month.

China data, crude lift palm to one-mth highs
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Malaysian crude palm oil futures hit one-month highs  after a long weekend holiday, on encouraging economic data from China and firmer crude oil, although prospects of a bumper U.S. soy crop weighed on prices.
"People missed the opportunity to hedge enough positions because nobody expected that crude (oil) could go this high within two days," said a trader with a foreign commodities broker.
