What does a hard Brexit or a soft Brexit actually mean?Open Europe
‘Hard’ or ‘soft’ Brexit are rarely defined and can mean different things to different people. Raoul Ruparel attempts to define them and argues that unless some definitions can be agreed, the terms should be dropped.

Stephen Booth: Are we heading for a “hard Brexit” by accident?Open Europe
The biggest challenge in delivering an “ambitious” new relationship with the EU, will be navigating the increasing political volatility within and between the other 27 EU member states.

The economic effects of globalization Bank Underground
We explore three structural changes to the economy arising from globalisation that we have observed daily in our visits to companies around the UK.

Fed's internal split tied to dueling views on jobs outlookReuters
The split at the Federal Reserve over when to next raise interest rates appears to hinge largely on disagreements over the labor market outlook, comments from policymakers on Friday suggest.

December Looking Good. But... Tim Duy
Doves on the Board continue to delay the preemptive strike on inflation. Stalling gains on unemployment and underemployment gave them the ammunition to stand their ground. If those gains resume, doves will fall prey to the hawks at the next meeting.

FX UpdateTF
Sterling's slide continues as UK executives express a lack of desire to remain in the UK after Brexit vote. Elsewhere the USD has gone too quiet after last week’s FOMC meeting – the lack of directional conviction suggests a rising risk of USD reversing course.

From the FloorTF
A Moody's downgrade of Turkish debt sent the lira sharply lower overnight and with the Philippines peso also in dire straits there could be some emerging-markets spillover. There's also that big oil meeting in Algiers to keep a watchful eye on as well as the small matter of the opening presidential debate.
