HSBC Sells German Private Banking Business To BNP Paribas

South Korea extended its short-selling ban on Thursday in an attempt to crack down on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36385316/naked-short-selling-crackdown-hsbc-and-bnp-paribas-hit-with-fines-in-south-korea">illegal &#8220;naked shorting&#8221; practices</a>.
What Happened: South Korea announced it would extend its ban on short selling to the first quarter of 2025, <a href="https://fortune.com/asia/2024/06/13/illegal-short-selling-trades-life-in-prison-south-korea/">per</a> Fortune.
&#8220;The ban on short selling will be extended until March 30, 2025, to establish an electronic system to prevent naked short-selling and relieve concerns about such practices hindering fair pricing in the securities market,&#8221; the Financial Services Commission (FSC) <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-korea-extend-short-selling-ban-now-2024-06-13/#:~:text=%22The%20ban%20on%20short%2Dselling,stock%20market%20closed%20on%20Thursday.">said</a>.
The decision came after prominent firms, including HSBC Holdings PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSBC#NYSE">HSBC</a>) and BNP Paribas ADR (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNPQY#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>), were fined by South Korea in a crackdown on naked short selling.
In a statement on Thursday, the South Korean government said they would penalize illegal short-selling practices with life imprisonment and harsher fines. Penalties could reach six times the amount of the profit from unlawful short selling, according to Fortune.
Why it Matters: Short selling, most commonly used by institutional investors, is a way to bet that a company&#8217;s share price will depreciate. Naked short selling is a financial practice that involves selling a security without first borrowing it or ensuring it can be borrowed. 
Short selling is not illegal in the U.S., but naked short-selling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-naked-short-selling">can carry fines</a> or criminal charges, in extreme cases.
Short selling achieved attention in the U.S. following the short squeeze of GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) in 2021. At its peak, GameStop had a short float of over 100%. Investors on the Reddit community r/Wallstreetbets targeted other highly shorted stocks, including AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and KOSS Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOSS#NASDAQ">KOSS</a>).
South Korea&#8217;s decision comes amid continued criticism of institutional short-selling practices by investors, particularly those in retail circles. 
GameStop received renewed attention in 2024 after investor Roaring Kitty <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/05/38793704/who-is-roaring-kitty-why-does-his-return-to-social-media-matter-for-gamestop-stock">returned to social media</a> and revealed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39128926/roaring-kitty-reveals-massive-gme-position-on-reddit-including-65m-call-options-is-he-bringing-c">a large position</a> in the company.
Kohls Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>), Beyond Meat Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYND#NASDAQ">BYND</a>) and Spirit Airlines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) are among the most shorted American companies in 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest/most-shorted">according to Benzinga</a>.

Life Imprisonment For Short Selling? South Korea Extends Ban, Harshens Penalties

European financial markets are under pressure as investors react to the results of the European Parliament elections <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39248545/frances-emmanuel-macrons-call-for-snap-election-following-eu-election-setback-spooked-market-says-ex">held over the weekend</a>.
The elections, which determined the 720 members of the block&#8217;s parliament, have led to notable shifts in political <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/europe">power across several key countries.</a>
What Happened: A market-friendly coalition composed of the center-right European People's Party (EPP), the center-left Socialists and Democrats (S&amp;D), and the liberal Renew group retain the majority of seats.
But far-right parties made substantial gains.
In both France and Germany, far-right parties emerged as significant contenders, securing first and second preferences among voters, respectively.
In France, Marine Le Pen&#8216;s far-right National Rally party garnered 31.4% of the votes, more than doubling the results of President Macron&#8217;s centrist alliance. 
In a surprising move, President Emmanuel Macron called for snap elections on Sunday night. These elections, set for June 30 and July 7, come just before France hosts the Olympic Games from July 26 to Aug. 11.
In Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz&#8216;s Social Democratic Party (SPD) faced its worst performance in an election, securing only 14% of the votes and falling to third place behind the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which received 16%.
In Italy, the far-right Brothers of Italy party, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, solidified its position by obtaining 29% of the votes. This result doubled the party&#8217;s performance in the 2019 European Parliamentary elections and surpassed its 2022 national election results.
Why it Matters: Europe is at a crucial juncture, requiring strong cohesion among member countries on key issues such as the green transition, technological development to bridge the gap with the United States and China, and support for Ukraine.
Although the current coalition holds a majority, the shift in power towards the right could lead to significant challenges. If far-right parties unify their propositions, they could form a strong opposition, potentially complicating the passage of critical legislation. 
On a national level, France&#8217;s snap election announcement adds to the uncertainty, with Marine Le Pen&#8217;s party showing increased strength over President Macron&#8217;s centrist party. In Germany, the major defeat of the ruling party could lead to calls for snap elections, further complicating the political landscape.
Market reactions: The euro, as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Currency Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXE#NYSE">FXE</a>), fell by 0.5% against the US dollar at 08:30 a.m. in New York. 
Coupled with Friday&#8217;s 0.8% loss, this marks the worst two-day performance since March 2023. European stocks, broadly tracked by the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#NYSE">EZU</a>), were down 0.8%.
French equities, as tracked by the iShares MSCI France Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>), were the worst performers of the day, down 1.5%, reflecting the political risks associated with the snap elections, with major banks such as Societe Generale (OTCPK: SCGLY) and BNP Paribas (OTCPK: BNPQY) plummeting 7.8% and 4.9%, respectively.

Macron's Snap Election Gamble Shocks European Markets: Euro Eyes Worst 2-Day Performance In 15 Months

Eurozones&#8217; leading bank, BNP Paribas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNPQY#OTC">BNPQY</a>), disclosed that it plans to boost its cost-cutting plan by €400 million ($437 <a href="https://invest.bnpparibas/en/document/confirmation-of-the-net-income-trajectory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">million</a>).
The bank raised its cumulated savings target to €2.7 billion for the 2022-to-2025 period.
The additional cost cuts will primarily derived from automation, lower purchases, a cheaper way of running premises, and better so-called &#8220;mutualization&#8221; of tasks between outsourced employees, as per Reuters.
BNP Paribas reiterated a steady growth trajectory in net income, with 2024 net income expected to be higher than 2023 Distributable Net Income.
The bank also reaffirmed ROTE of 11.5% to 12% in 2025 and 12% in 2026. This, combined with a 60% payout ratio, is anticipated to return about €20 billion to its shareholders from 2024-2026.

BNP Paribas Doubles Down On Cost Cuts: €400M Boost To Fuel Shareholder Returns

European stocks embarked on a vigorous rally following the European Central Bank&#8217;s (ECB) latest interest-rate announcement on Thursday. The ECB took a significant step by raising interest rates for the tenth consecutive time, pushing the main refinancing operations rate to a 22-year high of 4.5%, while the deposit facility rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/european-central-bank">reached a new record at 4%.</a>
However, the Frankfurt-based institution&#8217;s statement delivered a surprising twist. It signaled that the current interest rate levels might be sufficient to bring inflation back to its target. 
Additionally, the ECB revised down its estimates for both underlying inflation and growth. 
David Goebel, associate director of investment strategy at wealth manager Evelyn Partners, remarked that this could be the last move in their current hiking cycle. Peter Praet, the former ECB Chief Economist, who now serves as a member of Market News&#8217;s Connect Advisory Board, indicated that rate cuts might be on the table for discussion as early as the December Policy meeting.
The market&#8217;s interpretation of the ECB statement and Governor Lagarde&#8217;s press conference was clear: the ECB might have reached the end of its interest rate hiking cycle, which had commenced in July 2022.
This revelation had an immediate impact on the currency market, as the euro experienced downward pressure. The euro-dollar exchange rate dipped below 1.07, hitting lows not seen since mid-March.
Conversely, the stock market was a sea of green, with relief sweeping through investors who believed that the cost of borrowing would not rise further from its current levels.

Positive economic news from both the United States and China added fuel to the fire. Retail sales in the U.S. surpassed expectations for August, while Chinese authorities reduced the reserve requirement ratio to enhance liquidity in the banking sector.
This news gave an additional boost to European companies that heavily rely on exports. The luxury sector rallied, with the heavyweight LVMH-Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (OTCPK: LVMHF) surging by 2.2%. European banks also saw significant gains, with French giant BNP Paribas (OTCPK: BNPQY) leading the pack with a 3.2% increase.
In the United Kingdom, materials and energy stocks were the driving force behind the stock market&#8217;s ascent. Anglo American plc (OTCPK: NGLOY) recorded an impressive gain of over 8%, while Rio Tinto plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) came close with nearly a 5% increase.

한국은 불법 ‘무차입 공매도(<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36385316/naked-short-selling-crackdown-hsbc-and-bnp-paribas-hit-with-fines-in-south-korea" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">naked shorting</a>)&#8217; 관행을 제재하고자 목요일 공매도 금지 명령을 연장했다.
사건의 전말 (What Happened): <a href="https://fortune.com/asia/2024/06/13/illegal-short-selling-trades-life-in-prison-south-korea/">포춘</a>(Fortune)에 따르면 한국은 공매도 금지 조치를 2025년 1분기까지 연장할 것이라고 발표했다.
"공매도 금지 조치를 2025년 3월 30일까지 연장해 무차입 공매도를 예방하고 증권시장의 공정한 가격을 저해하는 관행에 대한 우려를 해소하기 위한 전자 시스템을 구축하겠다"고 금융위원회(FSC)가 <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-korea-extend-short-selling-ban-now-2024-06-13/#:~:text=%22The%20ban%20on%20short%2Dselling,stock%20market%20closed%20on%20Thursday.">밝혔다</a>.
이번 결정은 HSBC 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSBC#NYSE">HSBC</a>)와 BNP 파리바 ADR(OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNPQY#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) 등 유명 기업들이 무차입 공매도 단속으로 한국으로부터 벌금을 부과받은 후에 나온 것이다.
한국 정부는 목요일 성명을 통해 불법 공매 행위에 대해 무기징역과 더 무거운 벌금을 부과하겠다고 밝혔다. 포춘에 따르면 벌금은 불법 공매도로 얻은 이익의 6배에 달할 수 있다고 한다.
왜 중요한가 (Why it Matters): 기관투자자들이 가장 흔히 사용하는 공매도는 기업의 주가가 하락할 것이라는 점에 베팅하는 방식이다. 무차입 공매도는 먼저 증권을 빌리거나 빌릴 수 있는지 확인하지 않고 증권을 판매하는 금융 관행이다.
미국에서 공매도는 불법이 아니지만, 무차입 공매도는 극단적인 경우 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-naked-short-selling" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">벌금</a>이나 형사 고발을 당할 수 있다.
공매도는 2021년 게임스탑(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>)의 공매도 이후 미국에서 주목을 받았다. 최고조에 게임스탑의 공매도는 100%가 넘었다. 레딧 커뮤니티 r/Wallstreetbets의 투자자들은 AMC 엔터테인먼트 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>)와 코스 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOSS#NASDAQ">KOSS</a>)를 포함하여 공매도가 높은 다른 주식을 표적으로 삼았다.
한국의 이번 결정은 투자자들, 특히 소매업계의 기관 공매도 관행에 대한 지속적인 비판 속에 나온 것이다.
게임스탑은 2024년 투자자 &#8216;로어링 키티(Roaring Kitty)&#8217;가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/05/38793704/who-is-roaring-kitty-why-does-his-return-to-social-media-matter-for-gamestop-stock">소셜 미디어</a>로 돌아와 이 회사에서의 큰 투자 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39128926/roaring-kitty-reveals-massive-gme-position-on-reddit-including-65m-call-options-is-he-bringing-c">포지션</a>을 밝힌 후 다시 주목을 받았다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest/most-shorted">벤징가(Benzinga)</a>에 따르면 콜스 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>), 비욘드 미트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYND#NASDAQ">BYND</a>) 및 스피릿 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>)은 2024년에 가장 공매도가 높은 미국 기업 중 하나이다.
