German growth highlights two-speed eurozone

April 8, 2011--Wo ist das Problem? As the eurozone debt crisis this week claimed Portugal as its latest victim, Germany’s economy went from strength to strength.

Exchanges And Data Vendors To Restore Post-Trade Transparency In The European Equity Market

European exchanges represented by FESE, the Federation of European Securities Exchanges, have together with the London Stock Exchange, Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters agreed to adopt common standards that will restore post trade transparency in the European equity markets.
April 7, 2011--Building on the trade reporting standards initiated by an industry working group under the auspices of the Committee of European Securities Regulators (now European Securities and Markets Authority) for Over‐The‐Counter reporting, European exchanges and data vendors today announce the start of the implementation of trade reporting standards for orderbook trading on Regulated Markets and Multilateral Trading Facilities.

These trade reporting standards are complementary to the efforts being undertaken by the data vendors to ensure consistent output across multiple data consolidators. Furthermore they are supportive of the wide range of collaborative initiatives, including those being led by the Association for Financial Markets in Europe.

The key benefits of the initiative are:
The standards will enable trade data resulting from executions on Regulated Markets and MTFs to be easily consolidated with OTC trade reports.
The execution venues committed to these standards have a combined market share of over 90% of all European equity orderbook trading.

Diversified Broad Commodity ETPs See Record Inflows in Q1 2011

April 7, 2011--According to ETF Securities’ forthcoming Global Commodity ETP Quarterly report for Q1 2011, diversified broad commodity exchange-traded-products (ETPs) were the most popular choice of commodity ETPs for investors in the first quarter of 2011. Hedging against rising inflation, gaining exposure to strong emerging market growth and diversifying portfolios are some of the key factors driving this demand. Diversified broad commodity ETPs saw global assets rise by $5.2bn in Q1 2011; the largest quarterly inflows on record and representing 51% of AUM growth in commodity ETP assets during the period.

It is estimated that rising food and energy prices have been responsible for up to half of the total increase in headline inflation rates in the world’s two largest economies: the US and China. With the inventories of most agricultural commodities near historically low levels and weather events hitting supply in key producing countries, agriculture prices have been on a strong uptrend since last year. More recently, political and social upheaval in North Africa and the Middle East has driven oil prices higher. Investors appear to be using commodity ETPs as a way to hedge against further price increases.
