The collapse in
commodity prices continues with Brent crude leading the charge with a landmark
dip below $40/barrel – the lowest level seen since 2009. The weakness in oil
combined with US rate hike plans and last night's ultra-dovish Bank of Canada
statement spells trouble for the loonie.
Dollar Bloc Remains Soft, but Euro,
Sterling and Yen Firm
Things got exciting in the financial
markets when Brent crude futures dropped below $40/barrel for the first time
since early 2009. Energy-related currencies have been beaten and oil is now the
key driver behind high-yield bond credit and equity markets.

Global Stocks Slump As
Mining Rout Accelerates, Concerns Grow About Chinese "Stealth
Devaluation"
A risk-off tone across markets
together with the rout in key commodity prices has the euro back on the bid and
the single currency has been joined by the usual suspect in times of turmoil: a
stronger yen. Tonight we should see a strong reaction to the RBNZ meeting as
the market is near evenly divided on the prospects for a rate cut.
Brent may have forced
its head back above $40/barrel but it is treading water. As for WTI the outlook
is looking distinctly sticky.

ensi vuotta koskevan ennusteen olemme pitäneet ennallaan, kun taas vuoden 2017
kasvuarviota olemme hieman nostaneet. Talouskehityksen ero Suomen ja muun
läntisen maailman välillä on hätkähdyttävä, ja se näyttää vain kasvavan.
