Strategy – Danske Bank
Europe continues to deliver good news - other regions disappoint * Still positive on risk assets based on global recovery and ample liquidity * Time to add to periphery bonds * Limited upside to oil price as oil glut remains * EUR/USD to go lower after correction

Macro Weekly – Lucky losers – ABN AMRO
There can be little doubt: eurozone government bonds are very expensive. They will get cheaper some day, although that may be quite a while away. Whenever that happens, the holders will suffer losses. Who are they? And do their likely future losses matter to them or the overall economy? This is a bizarre story. Meanwhile, eurozone economic data continues to surprise positively. Growth is accelerating.

Week Ahead – Nordea
US data will be very much in focus next week. We expect the ISM manufacturing index to fall, reflecting that the factory sector has lost momentum in early 2015. Our forecast for nonfarm payrolls (on Good Friday) is weaker than the recent trend as we are looking for a lagged response to the stronger USD, bad weather and supply chain disruptions. Euro-area inflation will likely remain negative year-over-year in March.

Global Outlook: Risk Control is Working – Berenberg
Low oil prices: big boost for Western world, tough luck for Russia * US: consumers and companies in good shape = solid growth * China: sufficient growth despite slowing trend, risks well contained * Eurozone: oil and ECB to raise demand growth as risks fade * Britain: solid recovery but mind the politics, Brexit risk? * Tail risks: Grexit, euro politics, Putin starts war, emerging market crash?

  STOCKS
Weekly Market Summary – The Fat Pitch

The largely trend-less environment of the past four months continues. Despite the fall this week, US equities are not oversold and sentiment is still heady. This suggests that a rally early in the week would likely fail. While April is one of the best months of the year, the first half of the month has been weak. If this pattern continues this year, there would likely be a more attractive entry point mid-month.

Euro Rates Weekly: Bund bottlenecks – ABN AMRO
ECB’s QE purchases are well ahead of schedule, while Mr Draghi sees no signs of shortage * Shortage is unlikely but we think that scarcity is still on the cards * Available stock of outstanding Bunds will decline by 15% this year * Net adjusted supply will worsen later in 2015 because of continuous QE purchases of Bunds * Likelihood of bottlenecks peaks in the Summer and in December * Scarcity varies within the year and is also centred around bond redemptions

John J Hardy: USDJPY in flux after 1.1000 rejected * A reactive two-way stance seems optimal *EURGBP consolidation may have overshot to the upside * NOK's failure to show strength was surprising given oil recovery

FX Weekly – Dollar still under pressure – ABN AMRO
The FOMC monetary policy decision on 18 March has continued to have a negative effect on the US dollar. Over recent days, though, the impact is easing. Another factor that has resulted in a recovery in EUR/USD is stronger eurozone economic data. Moreover, a deterioration in investor sentiment triggered higher oil prices and demand for safe haven currencies. Currently, the US dollar is not among those safe haven currencies. Subsequently, an improvement in investor sentiment gave some room for the dollar to recover. Next week, US labour market data will take centre stage. Strong data will continue to support the US dollar going forward as well as underlining the outlook for further monetary policy divergence.

Global FX Strategy: the ball is in the Fed's court – Nordea
In our monthly FX publication we flag the risks of the change in trends - EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, USD/JPY... The ECB QE is launched, and now the focus in the FX market shifts to the Fed action - will they dare to hike in summer? In addition, we feature our latest views on the Scandinavian currencies, where more easing is being discussed.

EM FX: USD strength pushes all down – Nordea
We still believe EM FX is very much a EUR/USD game. Eight out of the ten EM currencies we cover are weaker versus the USD year-to-date, while nine out of ten are stronger versus the EUR. We believe this will be the case for a while going forward. Any short-term relief coming from a rebound in the EUR/USD should be used to prepare for renewed USD strength and EM weakness. Two EM currencies stand out: RUB and BRL.
