Cyprus Bailout Prompts Muted Relief in Markets
(LONDON) — The rally in stock markets in the wake of the Cypriot bailout deal proved short-lived Monday as investors remained cautious following a crisis that laid bare the scale of problems surrounding Europe‘s single currency. In the immediate aftermath of the deal between the Mediterranean island nation and international creditors, stocks rallied strongly and the euro edged back up above the $1.30 mark. But as the day wore on, the optimism was running dry. Though Cyprus’ bailout deal will prevent it becoming the first country to ditch the euro, investor worries over Europe’s common currency remain, not least because the deal sanctions raiding bank deposits. (MORE: Cyprus Rescue: The Destruction of a Tax Haven) “The Cypriot bailout has a powerful legacy which may alter the security with which depositors elsewhere in the eurozone view the safety of banks,” said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International. “It has also reportedly uncovered a lack of harmony.” In Europe, ...

Billionaire mogul Rupert Murdoch‘s plan to split his giant media conglomerate News Corp. into two independent publicly traded companies began to take shape Monday, after the company announced a flurry of management and organizational changes ahead of the breakup. The moves are further evidence of Murdoch’s plan to focus on entertainment assets — he’s making a big push into regional U.S. sports television ahead of a possible national Fox sports network — as News Corp. seeks to regain its footing after a tough phone-hacking-and-police-corruption scandal involving its U.K. newspaper business.
