China and EM fears is currently triggering massive de-risking in global
markets, leading to a substantial squeeze higher in EUR/USD. Inflation markets are currently screaming for
both ECB and Fed to ease further. To us it makes sense for the ECB to “outdove”
the Fed, but that depends on how much the central bank has changed under
Draghi.

crisis risks; upon collapse they tend to be followed by deeper recessions and
slower recoveries
Over the past two decades, countries around the world have recognized the
importance of central banks' independence. In truth, however, there are many
degrees of independence, and not all nominally independent central banks
operate in the same way – as a new initiative by the Bank of England
demonstrates.

With some sectors of the
market (read: Shanghai) still aflame and others licking their wounds, investors
the world over are trying to findthe root of yesterday's rout. After all, a
correction is just a correction... but what about bonds? Or gold? It's these
