Eurozone inflation accelerates to 2.4 per cent

January 31, 2011-- Eurozone annual inflation shot up to 2.4 percent in January, the EU warned Monday, fuelling household fears of an earlier rise in interest rates than anticipated, though experts insisted they see no need.

The European Union Eurostat agency said the flash-estimate climb, from 2.2 percent in December, was almost certain to be confirmed in official figures next month.

The European Central Bank's core target for economic management, inflation close to but not above 2.0 percent, has now been breached for the second successive month, and the eurozone figure comes on top of inflation in non-euro Britain topping 3.7 percent in December.

This strategy is now available in index format, via the new Source ETF.

Commenting on the launch of the ETF, Ted Hood, CEO of Source, said, “Similar proprietary MSS strategies have delivered impressive and consistent outperformance relative to MSCI Europe over the last few years.

January 28, 2011--Top OPEC officials on Thursday reiterated that oil prices nearing $100 were not caused by a shortage of crude, and the group’s chief disputed a report that Saudi Arabia had quietly opened its taps.

In comments likely to reinforce expectations that the producer group is disinclined to step up production for now, OPEC Secretary-General Abdullah al-Badri said he was “100 percent sure” there was no shortage in the oil market. Badri said the near-record spread between US oil futures and European Brent showed futures had become “disconnected” from the physical market; UAE’s Mohammed al-Hamli blamed cold weather and trader buying for price gains.
