The Santa rally has started with global bourses recovering as risk is put back on the table before year-end. With the Korean peninsula seemingly stable Asian equity markets recovered their losses, helped also in part by stronger US housing data. European bourses look set to follow, with sentiment boosted by an oversubscribed Spanish debt auction.
The [...]

Equity markets remain nervous and we are now seeing liquidity start to drain away as we run into the Christmas break. Eurozone finance ministers agreed to contribute a further €150 billion to the IMF to boost its resources but the UK confirmed its position that any payments would have to be part of a G20 [...]

Equity markets look to be in a better mood today, although this could simply reflect position-squaring as we run into the end of year. The rally overnight reflects slightly stronger US economic data, but European markets remain skittish as forecasts for growth next year are downgraded. INSEE now expects France and the eurozone to experience [...]

Asian bourses continue to be concerned over the eurozone sovereign debt crisis with RBA Deputy Governor Battellino commenting that a major crisis in Europe ‘can’t be ruled out.’ Futures contracts [...]

A full set of data releases puts risk back on the table today.

A quick guide [...]

Market scepticism over the Friday deal for a eurozone fiscal compact has seen equity markets open lower in Europe. The current confusion is how the ESM and EFSF will co-exist and whether European governments will be able to find the €200 billion that needs to be given to the IMF to increase its own resources. [...]

The second day of the EU Heads of State Summit is supposed to save the euro. We shall see. Indeed sentiment and the overnight comments from the summit suggest there is unlikely to be a quick fix with news headlines sending out mixed and somewhat confusing signals The main focus prior to that was the [...]

Asian stock markets closed higher, with the ASX buoyed by slightly stronger than expected Q3 Australian GDP. Futures markets show European bourses opening higher as markets await the EU Heads of State summit at the end of the week. EU officials are apparently now discussing two separate bailout funds, presumably with the hope that this [...]

Once again, Europe and the prospects for the Single Currency dominate investor sentiment. Tempting as it is to dismiss the upcoming Summit on Friday as yet another trigger for disappointment, there is arguably a greater chance of success than any of the previous hubristic gatherings. The last few Leaders’ meetings have been massively hyped in [...]
