US CEOs more optimistic on hiring and sales, but still expect modest growth this year
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Optimism among chief executives of large U.S. companies has reached a two-year high, driven by a more positive outlook toward hiring and sales.
The Business Roundtable said Tuesday that its CEO outlook index rose to 95.4 in the second quarter, up from 92.1 in the first quarter. That is the highest level since the second quarter of 2012.
The positive sentiment among CEOs of some of the largest U.S. companies could bode well for hiring and growth. The U.S. economy has been adding jobs at a steady pace this year and the unemployment rate has fallen to 6.3 per cent, a five-year low.
The proportion of CEOs expecting to hire in the next six months rose to 43 per cent, up from just 37 per cent in the first quarter.
Still, the outlook was not all rosy: the percentage of CEOs planning to invest more in their businesses fell to 44 per cent from 48 per cent.
Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T and chairman of the Roundtable, blamed the drop on the expiration of several investment tax breaks at the beginning of the year…

US agriculture secretary in Europe to make US case on Trans-Atlantic farm trade issues
– canadianbusiness.com
BRUSSELS – U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is in Europe to make the U.S. case on disputed issues in farm trade, a perennial hot-button topic in Trans-Atlantic relations.
The Obama administration and European Union are negotiating a new trade and investment agreement, and Vilsack said Tuesday it’s hard to imagine any deal being approved by the U.S. or EU that doesn’t include agriculture.
The U.S. wants European authorities to allow genetically modified crops and food processing techniques, including the use of chlorinated rinses to process poultry carcasses. Vilsack said that if “sound science” shows such practices to be safe, European consumers should have the option of purchasing the food that results. EU officials and European consumer groups are much less enthusiastic.
On Tuesday afternoon, Vilsack met with EU Agriculture Commissioner Dacian Ciolos.
