The Avanti Group * Exporters and financials gain * Cyprus parliament to vote on bailout later on Tuesday * Underlying trend still bullish- analysts * TPP should be positive for Japanese equities - analyst By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, March 19 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average rebounded 2 percent on Tuesday, regaining some ground lost in the previous session as fears receded that a controversial bailout proposal for Cyprus could reignite the euro zone crisis. Analysts said that the disruption to the Japanese market from the unusual bailout plan for Cyprus seems to have run its course, although the Japanese equities market is prone to volatility because it is vulnerable to a rise in the yen when global market uncertainty increases. "It looks like the bailout issue will be contained in Cyprus itself and it probably won't spread to the euro zone. As the Japanese market was rallying lately, Monday's selling served as a good opportunity for correction," said Yutaka Miura, a senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities. "But European debt issues will likely take years to be resolved, and we need to be prepared for a sell-off like this again as the Japanese market could easily get hit by a strong yen when investors buy the yen." The Nikkei added 247.60 points to 12,468.23 after sliding 2.7 percent on Monday, its biggest one-day drop in 10 months. The index is just 0.74 percent away from a 4-1/2 year high of 12,560.95 marked last Friday. Ahead of a parliamentary vote in Cyprus that will either secure the island's financial rescue or threaten default, euro zone ministers have urged Cyprus to let smaller savers escape a controversial levy on bank deposits. Still, investors are concerned that forcing ordinary citizens to fund bank rescues up front, through a tax on deposits, is setting a precedent that could lead to other bailout countries imposing something similar on depositors. On Tuesday, Monday losers such as exporters and financials were bought back. Sony Corp surged 6

the avanti group prcode81345782170 TAG Bitcoin is a digital currency based on some fancy cryptography that is designed to facilitate anonymous transfers, and resist regulation by government. A Bitcoin is essentially a claim on a string of numbers (that take the place of a physical coin) that can be bought and sold. There are exchanges that will convert between bitcoin and other currencies, and even some merchants who will take bitcoin in cash. The idea of an anonymous digital currency itself is not new. David Chaum proposed the concept of electronic cash and developed a scheme in the 1980′s. Chaum's currency proposals never did really get off the ground, but his keynote address at the first World Wide Web conference had a major impact on the development of the Web. Bitcoin itself is largely based on hashcash, a 'proof of work' scheme proposed by Adam Back in the 1990′s as a way to stop spam. The idea behind hashcash was to increase the cost of sending email to the point that spam became uneconomic by requiring each sender to perform a quantity of computational make-work. Before the rise of Bitcoin in 2009, the most successful scheme of this kind was E-Gold, which operated from 1996 until it was shut down by the Secret Service in 2007. E-Gold tapped into the libertarian ideology of anonymous cash, but their technology fell far short of the rhetoric. E-Gold wasn't really anonymous, and wasn't even located outside US jurisdiction. The company was registered in St. Nevis and Kitts, the datacenter was located in Florida. The idea that E-Gold somehow operated outside the scope of US regulation was a spectacular example of self-delusion by their management. E-Gold wasn't an anonymous currency as such, it was an exchange that allowed customers to transfer ownership of gold between them. Which was sufficient to allow its use as a means of avoiding government controls on money transfers. When the system was shut down, some of the largest compl

Les appels ont continué de multiples fronts aux pays faciliter les programmes d'austérité sévère pour stimuler la croissance et, en même temps, pour les banquiers centraux du monde à être plus prudent sur l'alimentation de plus d'argent dans le système financier, de peur qu'il étincelle nouvelles bulles d'investissement et une flambée de l'inflation. Christine Lagarde, directeur général du FMI est inquiétés fraîches de la « reprise de trois-vitesse » dans les plus grandes économies du monde - la stagnation de l'Europe et au Japon, le lent États-Unis et se déplaçant plus rapidement les économies émergentes.

Doigt sur l'austérité excessive et le manque de soutien de la demande, des flux de capitaux ingérables alimentés par les banques centrales de pompage l'argent, des dévaluations compétitives, excessive de la dette souveraine et tapissée-over bancaire faiblesses ont été tout à l'air libre avant les réunions.
