CACEIS Completes Acquisition Of Royal Bank of Canada Investor Services' Operations In Europe And Malaysia

On Wednesday, shares of Credit Agricole Sa (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crary#OTC">CRARY</a>) experienced volatile short activity. After the activity, the stock price went down -0.17% to $5.76.
The overall sentiment for CRARY has been Bullish.
The signal from the volatility alert is trending Bearish. Therefore, the recommendation is to Strong Sell.
The volatility alert was produced on the prior trading date, 6/28/2023 with a volatility change of +186.43%. The current volatility indicator stands at 13.123.
Overview: 
The securities lending volatility indicator is produced by Tidal Markets, in partnership with Benzinga Insights. Securities lending primarily serves the purpose of providing liquidity to short sellers. When unusual activity occurs in the securities lending markets, it acts as an upstream indicator to what is likely to occur downstream in the regular stock market.
Understanding the Volatility Alert: 
Overall sentiment is considered &quot;bear&quot; when broad market activity of the stock has been shown to indicate a negative directional basis, or is considered &quot;bull&quot; when indicating a positive directional basis. The securities lending volatility indicator provides a signal when it detects unusual short activity. Unusual short activity is based off a computer generated algorithmic formula utilizing securities lending trade details such as the volume of shares being shorted, the rate being paid to short the shares, and the type of collateral being posted - amongst other variables. The current volatility is the respective trading day&#39;s calculated securities lending volatility value. The volatility percentage change is the percentage difference in volatility between the two most recent days. The recommendation is a suggestive strategy, inferred from the strength of the Signal Trending, Current Volatility, and Volatility % Change. Recommendations may include, &quot;Strong Buy&quot;, &quot;Strong Sell&quot;, &quot;Increase Short Exposure&quot;, &quot;Decrease Short Exposure&quot;, or &quot;Market Neutral&quot;.

Stocks That Hit 52-Week Highs On Thursday

Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/goog#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) was on the receiving end of the <a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-1784_en.htm">European Union's </a> wrath, as the latter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/17/06/9658568/the-very-difficult-math-and-logic-behind-eus-2-">fined</a> the search giant a whopping 2.42 billion euros on the pretext of violation of anti-trust rules.
This of course has precedence, so how does this fine stack up against EU's previous regulatory clamp downs? 
<h3>1. Truck Producers Taken To Task</h3>
The EU fined truck makers, including MAN, Volvo, Daimler AG (ADR) (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ddaiy#OTC">DDAIY</a>), Iveco and DAF, in 2016 for colluding on truck prices for 17 years. The collective fine ran to a total of 2.93 billion euros, with Daimler alone asked to pay 1.008 billion euros.
<h3>2. Intel's CPU Hegemony</h3>
 Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/intc#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) was asked to pay up 1.06 billion euros in 2009 after being found abusing its market dominance in CPUs between 2002 and 2007. In blatant case of anti-trust violation, the company was accused of extending rebates to PC makers to use its CPUs.
<h3>3. Microsoft In Violation On Multiple Occasions</h3>
The EU has fined Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) on more than one occasion. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/17/06/9609083/attention-microsoft-investors-get-excited-about-these-3-">software giant</a> was slapped with a 900-million-euro fine, for charging hefty royalty between 2004 and 2007 to access documentation that would allow non-Microsoft servers to work on Windows computers. A 561-million-euro fine was imposed on Microsoft in 2013 for preventing consumers from having their preferred choice of browsers.
<h3>4. Telefonica Pulled Up For Unfair Pricing</h3>
The EU fined Spanish telecommunication company Telefonica S.A. (ADR) (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tef#NYSE">TEF</a>) 151 million euros for engaging in unfair pricing in the Spanish broadband market. 
<h3>5. Banks Called Out For Rate Rigging</h3>
In 2016, the EU fined JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>), HSBC Holdings plc (ADR) (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/hsbc#NYSE">HSBC</a>) and CREDIT AGRICOLE SA ADR EA REPR 0.5 ORD EUR3.0 (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/crary#OTC">CRARY</a>) a combined $500 million for manipulating prices of financial products linked to interest rates.
<h3>Google Faces EU Ultimatum</h3>
The allegation against Google was that it abused its market dominance as a search engine by giving undue advantage to its comparison-shopping service, thereby denying European consumers a genuine choice of services and the full benefits of innovation. The investigation into the company, running for about seven years now, came at the behest of smaller shopping websites and other biggies such as News Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/nws#NASDAQ">NWS</a>), Axel Springer and Microsoft.
If the company doesn't correct the aberration within 90 days, the EU threatened penalty payments up to 5 percent of its average daily worldwide turnover. 
<h3>More Serious Repercussions Ahead</h3>
The fine per se, may not mean much for the company despite the amount being massive, according to a Bloomberg article, which pointed to Google's $90 billion cash hoard. The penalty announced on non-compliance within 90 days would shave a sizeable portion of the company's ad revenues.
The Bloomberg article also indicated that the company might be stifled further by regulatory scrutiny on its other services such as maps and restaurant reviews. 
Though Google said it is reviewing the EU decision and considering an appeal, it has to take action, given that the order issued against it is in the nature of cease-and-desist. This order calling for immediate cessation of activity means Google cannot continue with the action that is being contended even as attornies plead the case.

Adding Perspective To Google's $2.7 Billion European Fine

France&#39;s national election to determine the head of state could be <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-03-12/french-election-guide-2017-how-do-voters-choose-a-president">confusing for many</a> given its multi-round voting system. One thing is clear, according to analysts at Citigroup: a surprise victory for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/topic/marine-le-pen">Marine Le Pen</a> over Emmanuel Macron could have devastating effects on French bank stocks.
<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-15/le-pen-win-would-wipe-out-25-from-french-bank-shares-citi-says">Bloomberg</a>, citing Citigroup&#39;s Azzurra Guelfi and Simon Nellis, noted French lenders could lose around 25 percent of their market value if Le Pen, a very vocal and outspoken critic of the euro and the <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/topic/european-union">European Union,</a> emerges victorious in May.
Most polls have Le Pen trailing the front-runner Macron, but Citigroup analysts are naturally looking at President Trump&#39;s election win and the Brexit voting outcome as signs that polls are meaningless.
<h3>
	The Anti-EU Candidate</h3>
The analysts caution that Le Pen&#39;s policies, if enacted, could result in a drop in French government bonds, which comprise a notable percentage of the banks&#39; balance sheets. Lenders would also see higher funding costs, lower revenues from capital markets and a slow-down in growth within asset management segments.
Societe Generale SA (ADR) (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/scgly#OTC">SCGLY</a>) could be the most hard hit and lose 38 percent of its value if Le Pen wins as the bank is the most domestic-focused.

Citi Sounds The Alarm Over Owning French Bank Stocks

Bonds have entered a bear market and investors should buy cyclical stocks, as well as banks and companies with unfunded pension deficits, an analyst said Friday.

	A rally in oil prices since March and the return of at least some level of inflation expectations has helped push bond yields higher and prices lower.

	Credit Suisse&#39;s Andrew Garthwaite believes the bear market for bonds is here, and said that historically, both higher yields and inflation expectations have correlated positively for equities.

	Cyclical stocks like automakers, airlines and retailers &quot;outperform when bond yields rise,&quot; Garthwaite said.

	Bank and other financial stocks are &quot;the big winners, we think, from a rise in bond yields are financials,&quot; the analyst said.

	Garthwaite in particular highlighted European banks he rates at Outperform: Credit Agricole (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/crary#OTC">CRARY</a>), Intesa Sanpaolo&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/isnpy#OTC">ISNPY</a>) and UBI Banca (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/bppuy#OTC">BPPUY</a>).

	European life insurance companies should benefit from a rise in yields offered by German bonds, Gartwaite said, whereas life insurers based in the U.K. &quot;look abnormally expensive.&quot;

	The stocks of companies with unfunded pension deficits will benefit from a bear market in bonds and higher yields, according to Garthwaite.

	United States Steel Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/x#NYSE">X</a>),&nbsp;Delta Air Lines, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/dal#NYSE">DAL</a>), Raytheon Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/rtn#NYSE">RTN</a>) and International Paper Co&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ip#NYSE">IP</a>) all have unfunded pension deficits equal to 20 percent or more of their market capitalization, and are rated at Outperform by Credit Suisse.

	Garthwaite said he&#39;s cautious on U.K home builders and real estate investment trusts.

	European regulated utilities &quot;look expensive&quot; while the same sector in the U.S. &quot;seems to have priced in quite a lot of bad news,&quot; according to Garthwaite.
