Buried in the garden or locked away in a secure bank safe-where Germans keep their gold

Bank deposit boxes and safes are considered secure options, but only a small number of people use either of them
June 11, 2014--Almost half of all Germans have at some time bought gold, or given or received it as a gift. So storing this precious metal in as secure a manner as possible is an important issue for many Germans.

The national crime statistics for 2013 highlight just how important it is to keep gold well hidden; the number of home break-ins rose again last year-by as much as 30 percent in some federal states.

Germans believe that bank deposit boxes are the safest place to store gold. This was the finding of a representative study with over 1,000 respondents conducted by the opinion polling institute TNS Emnid on behalf of Deutsche Börse Commodities.

Of those surveyed, 72 percent said that they would store gold in a bank deposit box, followed by a safe in their own home. Only around one in five said that they would consider keeping their gold in drawers, cupboards, jewellery boxes or other unsecured places.

Eurex Clearing launches cross-margining functionality

First CCP in Europe to offer margin offsetting within asset classes and across OTC and listed derivatives/ Entire euro-denominated yield curve covered for the first time in a portfolio margining approach June 10, 2014--Eurex Clearing, the clearing house of Deutsche Börse Group, has introduced its second release of the new risk system Eurex Clearing Prisma.

With the new development, clearing members and clients are able to benefit from portfolio margining capabilities within an asset class as well as cross-margining between listed fixed income products and the OTC IRS business.

Eurex Clearing is Europe's first and only CCP to offer this highly user-requested approach.

Since the end of May, clearing users can realize margin offsets between listed fixed-income (Schatz, Bobl, Bund, Buxl) and money market derivatives (Eonia, Euribor), i.e. the entire euro-denominated interest rate curve. Simultaneously, they can also use their existing portfolios in these interest-rate derivatives traded at Eurex Exchange to offset their margin requirements for their interest rate swaps cleared via EurexOTC Clear.

IMF United Kingdom- 2014 Article IV Consultation Concluding Statement of the Mission

June 6, 2014--1. The economy has rebounded strongly and growth is becoming more balanced. Growth has accelerated since the second half of 2013, and leading indicators suggest that the recovery has momentum. Although household expenditures played the driving role in the early stages of the recovery, business investment has picked up more recently. Net exports remain subdued.

2. Inflation has fallen rapidly. Despite lackluster productivity growth and the recent rebound in demand, inflation has dropped to just below the Bank of England's 2 percent target, owing to the fading impact of administered price increases, lower import prices, and weak growth in wages and margins.

3. Good macroeconomic performance is expected to persist. Real GDP growth is projected to remain strong this year, before gradually returning to trend rates, driven by further rebalancing toward business investment and a gradual recovery in productivity. Inflation is expected to revert to target.
