Eye-OpenerNordea
Asia shrugs off Wall Street’s decline * US inflation back to negative, 10Y yield back to 2% at 5-month low on weak data * USD weaker as Fed concerns rise

Morning MarketsTF
The dollar was battered from pillar to post overnight after poor data and a 10% plunge in Wal-Mart's share price. More of the same could be on tap today if data continues to disappoint.

Daily ShotTF
The US and Europe are facing economic headwinds such as low deflation, strong currency and wage pressure. But that might be the right environment to invest in equities and there are also data suggesting improvement.

FX UpdateTF
EURUSD approached 1.1500 after weak US retail sales and the Fed’s Beige Book yesterday, but right on cue, the ECB’s Nowotny was out today with a fresh blast of dovish ECB rhetoric that pushed the euro back lower. Elsewhere, USDJPY is punching on key structural levels.

From the FloorTF
Yesterday's soft US retail sales print has combined with Wal-Mart's profit warning to hit the USD where it hurts, and today's CPI release is consequently in the spotlight. If this one comes in weak or negative, then markets will broadly come to expect a continually dovish Federal Reserve, boosting emerging markets and postponing recovery.
