Financial Market Team update (English)
15:09 ET
Monetary policy statements depress markets
The Bank of England's Mervin King said that "the UK recovery is likely to continue, but the overall outlook is weaker". (Read Mervin King's statement here.) The Fed and the Bank of England determined that quantitative easing would continue but would not be expanded. Major American, European and Asian stock markets fell today by more than 2%.
Currencies
The euro is at its lowest level for a month. It was down by more than 2%, representing its steepest one-day drop since January 2009. Although the yen reached its lowest level against the dollar earlier today (Y84.79), it is paring losses.
Treasury bonds
2-year, 5-year, 7-year and 10-year Treasuries have been falling; at one point during the day they reached record-low yields.
Commodities
According to the International Energy Agency's Oil Market Report released today, global demand for 2010 and 2011 is expected to rise as a result of an expected GDP increase. However, because of the BP's oil spill, a supply shortage is expected in 2011. Crude oil continues to fall for the fourth day and is now below US$80. Wheat futures are slightly down while corn futures are rising. After sugar rose yesterday on speculation that Russia's production of beets would be affected by the drought, it fell today on expectations of Indian exports.

Financial Market Team update (English)
Commodities
Commodities are falling. Gold prices fell for the second straight day. Copper prices are down, reaching a one-week low. Russia's drought has affected beet production and beets are used to make sugar, so sugar prices are rising. However, wheat and corn prices are down about 1.5%. A wheat producing region in Australia, the world's fifth exporter of wheat, is forecast to receive much needed rains. Read about Australia's wheat situation, in this FT article ($).
WTI prices fell the most in five weeks, despite a storm forming in the Gulf of Mexico which made drilling on a BP relief well stop.
Currencies
The dollar is rallying against the euro and the pound, although it is weaker against the yen.
Fixed income and credit
5-year and 10-year Treasuries are reaching their lowest yields for the year.

Financial Market Team update (English)
Stocks
The Federal Reserve will announce its monetary policy decision tomorrow. Markets are expecting the Fed to keep interest rates at their current level, 0-0.25. However, FT and Bloomberg report that they anticipate some kind of measure to release more cash into the economy to provide a stimulus. Bloomberg believes this is the reason both American and European stocks advanced today.
Commodities
Crude oil remains near $81 as it went up in today's trading session. Grain prices continue to rise after the export ban in Russia. This has not only affected wheat but other grains as well. (Read about the grain prices in FT$.)
