An encouraging end to the week for stock markets
An action-packed end to the week, month, and quarter sees equity markets cautiously higher going into the weekend. If we end the week in the green, that's a big deal considering how almost disastrous the rest of the month was. Confidence is easily shattered and difficult to restore and a positive end to the week would send a strong signal that investors are feeling reassured by the lack of turmoil recently. We saw quite the opposite a week ago, as a spike in Deutsche Bank credit default swaps tr

Oil recovering slowly, can gold hit $2000?
Economic fears weigh on oil recovery Oil prices are continuing to gradually recover but remain way off pre-banking mini-crisis levels. The prolonged economic scarring of the last month will likely slow the economy if not cause a recession and lower interest rate expectations are not enough to support oil prices in the short term.

Stock market recovery continues as investors eye jobless claims
Stock markets are in the green once more on Thursday, with confidence slowly returning as we near the end of the second week without serious drama.

That was more a symptom of what preceded it than evidence of further vulnerabilities in the banking sector. That isn't to say that other vulnerabilities and casualties won't emerge but investors w

Oil gains ground as risk appetite improves, gold steady
Oil prices have continued to recoup losses in recent days as sentiment has improved, yields have edged higher and global economic prospects have improved. Recent volatility has been a firm reminder of the uncertainty that lies ahead, even as we seemingly near the end of the tightening cycles.

Gradual recovery
Equity markets are edging higher again today, a sign of gradually improving confidence following a relatively drama-free weekend. As we saw on Friday though, anxiety remains high and things quickly spiral in those circumstances so investors are likely to remain vigilant. The dust is still settling but every passing day rebuilds confidence and allows investors to feel a little bit more relaxed.
