STOXX introduces equal weight version for China A 50 Index

May 22, 2013--STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today introduced the STOXX China A 50 Equal Weight Index, which represents the components of the recently launched STOXX China A 50 Index irrespective of their market capitalization by weighing them equally.

The new index is designed to underlie financial products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or structured products.

“STOXX is not only committed to develop innovative index concepts, but also to apply new strategies to existing indices to offer market participants a broad set of superior benchmarks,” said Hartmut Graf, chief executive officer, STOXX Limited. “In the new STOXX China A 50 Equal Weight Index, the smallest companies are given the same weight as the largest companies, thus no small group of components dominates the index. This leads to a maximum diversification of China’s largest 50 A-shares.”

IMF Survey-U.K. Should Restore Growth, Rebalance Economy

May 22, 2013--Some signs of an uptick in growth, but still far from strong, sustainable recovery
Financial policies should ensure monetary easing reaches broader economy
Fiscal, structural policies to boost expectations of incomes and investment returns
The United Kingdom could boost growth by bringing forward measures already included in its fiscal plan, such as spending on infrastructure and job skills, the International Monetary Fund said as it wrapped up its annual check of Europe's third largest economy.

Despite recent improvements in some indicators of economic growth, the economy is still a long way from a strong and sustainable recovery. The economy also needs to rebalance, the IMF said, and make the transition to a high-investment and more export-oriented economy.

IMF-United Kingdom-2013 Article IV Consultation Concluding Statement of the Mission

May 22, 2013--Activity appears to be improving, but a slow recovery remains likely
1. Recent data suggest some improvement in economic and financial conditions. Purchasing indicators, demand for vehicles, and consumer and business sentiment surveys indicate an uptick in activity. Moreover, the drag from construction and trade might prove to be less than last year.

And private sector employment growth has been notably strong. Coming after disappointing growth in 2012, such promising news is encouraging.

2. The UK is, however, still a long way from a strong and sustainable recovery. Notwithstanding the recent uptick in activity, per capita income remains 6 percent below its pre-crisis peak, making this the weakest recovery in recent history. Of particular concern is that capital investment (as a share of GDP) is at a postwar low, and that youth unemployment is high.

3. The prospect remains for weak growth. Given ongoing domestic deleveraging pressures and weak external demand, activity is expected to pick up only gradually. Similar to the view of the Office for Budget Responsibility, the most likely scenario is a prolonged period in which output is below potential.

Once-Sturdy Swiss Franc Continues to Slide

Currency Hits a Two-Year Low Versus the Euro as Switzerland's Leaders Guard Economy and Franc's Haven Allure Fades
May 22, 2013--The Swiss franc sank to a two-year low against the euro Wednesday, as the country's central bank signaled it was willing to go on the offensive to protect its economy.

The move in the Swiss franc highlights how the combination of increased vigilance on the part of central banks and the waning investor appeal of some safe-haven assets has transformed those currencies into poor performers.

EMIR standards could push European firms to U.S, experts warn

May 21, 2013--Central-counterparty standards under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation could create regulatory arbitrage and prompt some European commodity traders to move their business to the U.S., market participants say.

"This is not an arcane discussion -- this is about actual access to markets," said Mike Davis of ICE Futures Europe. "There are serious differences when you compare margining requirements, with the U.S. on a one-day scenario, while Europe is stuck on two."
