An Interview With ECB Executive Board Member Benoît CoeuréWSJ
I see a broad consensus around the table in the Governing Council that we need to do more. If we had been in a position to cut rates at the last meeting, we would probably have done so. It’s not that much of a question on whether we should do something, but more a discussion on the best way to do it.

Daily MacroWSJ
The continued rout in oil prices could be read in either a positive or negative light while the turmoil in markets associated with a plunging Russian ruble and weakness in European and Asian growth data raise questions about whether an otherwise improved U.S. economy is vulnerable to outside shocks.

FI Eye-Opener: Russian meltdownNordea
German yields hit new lows before a small rebound. Core bonds to remain supported early today. Huge volatility in FX markets. Oil prices and inflation expectations still falling. Rebound in European equities not carried over to the US. UK CPI just the first of many downward surprises? PMIs increase but the outlook still clouded. Time for a more hawkish message. Greece – this vote will not count, but could it matter?

Daily Shot – TradingFloor
The big story this week is the ruble's collapse, and the blow dealt to Russia's economy has seen five-year bond yields approach 18%. Elsewhere, Germany continues to resist Eurozone quantitative easing while U.S. bank formation remains stubbornly weak.

FX Update: Will the FOMC blink?TradingFloor
The bout of market volatility was rather intense across asset classes yesterday, particularly in FX, but is it enough, together with a 5% correction in US equities, to make the Fed blink and consider not removing the “considerable time” language from today’s monetary policy statement? Doubtful.

EM FX: Financial forecastsNordea
We continue to forecast general EM FX weakness for the first half of 2015. We have changed a number of forecasts over the past two weeks, especially for the commodity currencies such as RUB, BRL, MXN, and ZAR. This week’s emergency rate hike from the CBR has prompted the most significant change in our EM central bank forecasts. Here is an overview of financial forecasts for Emerging Markets.

Kuka pelastaa Euroopan suurpankit Venäjältä?Jan Hurri / TalSa
Suomi ja muut euromaat pelastivat kansainväliset suurpankit Kreikasta ja muista euroalueen kriisimaista, kun nämä ajautuivat rahoituskriisiin. Nyt kriisi riehuu Venäjällä – jossa Euroopan suurpankeilla on runsaammat riskit kuin niillä oli Kreikassa. Pankkiunioni voi velvoittaa Suomenkin pelastamaan pankkeja Venäjältä.
