JPMorgan Chase to raise $5 billion to repay TARP (The Associated Press)
NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase & Co. plans to raise $5 billion through a common stock offering as it seeks to repay the $25 billion that the bank was awarded in the government's troubled asset relief program.
New York-based JPMorgan Chase announced the capital-raising effort Monday. It was among a group of large banks to receive money from the TARP program under the series of government bailouts. The program requires banks to demonstrate they can raise money in capital markets.
JPMorgan Chase says it believes that once it raises the $5 billion, it will have satisfied government criteria for fully redeeming TARP's preferred capital. The bank says it expects to achieve that goal before the end of June.

Obama Pushes Middle East Thaw (WSJ.com)
President Barack Obama this week will try to capitalize on his popularity in the Middle East to improve relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world.
A much-anticipated address in Cairo on Thursday will be the most significant effort to-date in a string of outreach measures that began with Mr. Obama's inauguration -- although no major policy changes on the thorniest issues, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, are expected to be announced.
Rather, Mr. Obama will attempt to "change the conversation" with the world's one-billion-plus Muslims, said Denis McDonough, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications at the White House. "We want to get back on a shared partnership, back in a conversation that focuses on the shared values," he said.

米GM破産法申請、投資家・UAW組合員・ディーラー・部品メーカーに与える影響
Workout Will Produce Shared Stress Throughout the Auto Business (WSJ.com)
They (bondholders and shareholders) will be the biggest losers dollar-wise. Just how badly they fare depends on whether their money is in stocks or bonds.
... A bankruptcy judge could void the union's modified labor deal with GM, but that is unlikely. The union is likely to be treated like a preferred creditor to GM. Unlike some holdout bondholders, the UAW could be painted as a partner in the process to reduce labor costs rather than an obstacle to orderly reorganization.
... Car dealers have been slammed by the plunge in sales over the past year, and GM's bankruptcy won't make things any easier. "The confidence level is just so weak it keeps pulling us back," said John Bergstrom, chairman and chief executive of Bergstrom Automotive in Wisconsin.
... Parts makers reliant on GM already are struggling with lower volumes, tight credit and rolling production shutdowns that reduce demand for parts. Bankruptcy will only deepen the troubles.
