The Tesoro Petroleum Corporation, an oil refiner, agreed to sell an oil-products pipeline to Kaneb Pipe Line Partners for $100 million in cash after canceling a $110 million deal with Williams Energy Partners.

International Briefs | Europe: France: Economic Growth Slows

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The French economy grew at an annual rate of 0.8 percent, compared with the second- quarter pace of 1 percent, the government said, as cutbacks by companies in investment and inventories offset gains in consumption and exports. ''Without consumption, G.D.P. would have shrunk,'' Emmanuel Ferry, an economist with the brokerage firm of Exane in Paris, told Bloomberg News. ''If consumers lose heart in November and December, the economy could shrink in the fourth quarter.'' France's report came a day after Germany reported growth of 0.4 percent in the quarter; last week, Italy reported growth of 0.5 percent.

Globalization has had little effect on United States monetary policy decisions because foreign events rarely have a major influence on the economy, said Robert Parry, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. ''Globalization has not changed the goals or conduct of U.S. monetary policy to any great extent,'' Mr. Parry said at a Philadelphia conference on policy making. While Fed officials do take developments in other countries into account, ''for the most part, the effects on policy making are at the margin,'' he said.

The change, the first in almost four years, means that Moody's is more likely to raise China's A3 rating from the seventh-highest investment grade out of 10 levels. China's foreign reserves have risen by a quarter this year, to $266 billion, which Moody's said comfortably exceeded foreign debt. ''China's reserves cover seven years of debt payments, which is the highest in Asia, and China is becoming the manufacturing hub for Asia,'' said Vincent Low of Merrill Lynch in Singapore.
