Obama issues order easing student loan debt pressures
奥巴马新政缓解学生偿还贷款压力
President Obama issued an executive action on Monday designed to make it easier for young people to repay their student loans. He signed an order directing Education Secretary Arne Duncan to make sure more people who borrow federal students loans can CAP their debt repayments at just 10 percent of their monthly income.
周一，奥巴马总统发布了一条行政措施，旨在让年轻人偿还学生贷款更加容易。他签署了该命令，指导教育部长阿恩·邓肯(Arne Duncan)确保更多申请联邦学生贷款的人偿还上限为月收入的10%。
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "We call it 'Pay as you Earn'. We know it works because we've already offered it to millions of young people."
美国总统奥巴马：“我们称其为即赚即付。我们知道这种措施是可行的，因为我们已为数百万年轻人提供这种便利。”
Federal law already allows most students to cap their loan payments to 10 percent of their income. Monday's order increases the number of eligible students by some 5 million, the Administration said.
联邦法律已经允许大部分学生偿还贷款的上限为每月收入的10%。政府表示，周一的命令将符合该条件的学生数量增加了500万。
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "We want young people to be in a position to pursue their dreams. We want more young people who act responsibly to be able to manage their debt over time."
美国总统奥巴马：“我们希望年轻人有条件追求自己的梦想。我们希望负责任的年轻人有能力管理自己的债务。”
The White House says 'Pay as you Earn' will help stimulate the economy, by helping young people avoid those pesky credit blemishes, it said, that can hurt them down the road. Monday's executive action doesn't go into effect, however, until the end of 2015. Senate Democrats have proposed related legislation that would let Americans refinance their student debt at lower interest rates. But Republicans oppose the idea, saying the cost would be too high to the government.
白宫表示，“即赚即付”措施将帮助年轻人避免糟糕的信誉瑕疵，避免对他们的未来造成损害，从而帮助刺激经济。然而，周一发布的行政措施要到2015年底才生效。参议院民主党人也提议了相关法案，让美国人以更低的利率为学生贷款再融资。但是共和党人反对该建议，认为政府承担的费用太高昂。

CCTV9:华南暴雨未来两天继续
Downpours in S. China to continue for 2 days
华南暴雨未来两天继续
On Monday and Tuesday, downpours in south China will hit the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Fujian. Meanwhile in the north, the rain will mainly be concentrated in Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Inner Mongolia. As of Sunday, more than 3.4 million people have been affected by the rains.
The heavy rain in southern China has cut off roads and communications. Massive flooding has also left people in remote villages homeless and facing food shortages. The relentless rains have taken a toll on southern regions. In Yunnan’s Huaning county, rainstorm-triggered floods destroyed a water pump station. No casualties were reported, but the water supply was cut off.
"After the accident, we immediately mobilized staff to repair the facility and launched an emergency back-up water supply system. We expect to restore the normal water supply in two days." Huaning waterworks Feng Gang said.
Similar flooding also hit Guizhou province. In the remote village of Xikou, the once idyllic landscape has turned into a scene of desolation.
"We almost lost our lives. Every minute the floodwaters climbed one flight of stairs. We couldn’t save any of our belongings." Villager Gui Qingqun said.
Having lost everything in the floods, and with no access to food or water, many villagers had to turn to their relatives and friends for help.
"The meat was given by a relative. But for water, I have no choice but to get it from ditches." Villager Wang Chaoping said.
In Shiqian county, the floods have killed seven people and reportedly caused direct economic losses of 2.8 billion yuan.
CCTV9:亚洲市场等待中国通胀数据
Asian markets await China’s inflation data
亚洲市场等待中国通胀数据
Monday’s RRR cut by the PBOC comes ahead of Tuesday’s inflation data release out of China. The rise in Chinese consumer inflation will mean policy makers have to deliver ’not too cold, not too hot’ easing measures through 2014.
Producer prices are tipped to remain well in deflation, which bolsters the argument to warm things up with additional stimulus. Complicating things though - a likely re-heating up of consumer prices in May, which are forecast to climb 2.4 percent year on year.
Nonetheless, the balance of risks points to at least some additional easing, according to Edmond de Rothschild’s David Gaud.
"We will see probably gradual announcements, maybe a revision down in the loan to deposit ratio for some banks. What’s interesting is when you look within the emerging world, actually you see a slowdown in the lending rates, in lending growth rates across large numbers of countries, except China, where things are finally stabilizing, and potentially improve into the second half." David Gaud, Senior Portfolio Manager of Edmond De Rothschild Asset Management said.
In another indicator of the domestic economy’s health, we’ll also get May auto sales data for China.
The world’s largest car market. Expect growth in the eight to 10 percent range. In the Philippines, watch for April export data this Tuesday (June 10).
A brisk trade in electronics and semiconductors has kept outbound shipment growth in the double digits for five of the last
six months. Also expected, New Zealand manufacturing sales for the quarter - which should register strong growth on demand for dairy and meat products exports to Asia’s growing consumer base.
