SUMMARY
GLOBAL MARKET & ECONOMY
• Global equity markets and bonds extended gains on Thursday, showing further signs of stabilizing from a dramatic selloff as concerns receded that
the Federal Reserve would begin to unwind its stimulus efforts earlier than expected.
• Gold, down in its last eight sessions, traded higher on Thursday as the dollar remained under pressure after U.S. economic data which indicated
there is no need for an abrupt end to Federal Reserve stimulus.
• Crude oil futures rose for a fourth straight session on Thursday, gaining over $1 a barrel, as conviction strengthened that monetary stimulus
measures from major central banks would stay in place for the time being.
• The dollar slid against the euro on Thursday after two days of gains as Federal Reserve officials minimized expectations the U.S. central bank would
start scaling back its stimulus program and said the Fed could buy bonds again if the economy weakens.

AUSTRALIA
• Business and builder groups are calling on the Senate to reject new federal government laws aimed at cracking down on employer rorting of the
temporary visa program for skilled migrant workers.
• Asylum seekers and the economy will top the agenda of Kevin Rudd's revamped Labor team ahead of the federal election.

JAPAN
• Will the real Shinzo Abe please stand up? Abe, back as Japan's premier in a rare second term, is expected to lead his ruling bloc to victory in a July
upper house election, but what he will do with the mandate is a puzzle.
• Japan's core consumer price index is expected to have stayed flat on year in May despite the government and Bank of Japan's efforts to spur
inflation, economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires and the Nikkei forecast.
• Japanese investors' net selling of foreign bonds hit its highest level in 14 months last week as they continued to defy expectations Japan's radical
monetary policy to reflate its economy would lead to a flight of investment out of the country.

CHINA
• China's central bank is squeezing funds out of the money market, forcing banks to borrow money at historic interest rate levels, but the manoeuvre
appears to have been calculated to have limited impact on the real economy.
• Chinese stocks searched for a footing on Thursday as investors hoped the worst of the cash crunch had passed, but concerns the recent market
turmoil is ushering in a period of tougher funding conditions and weaker economic growth contained any optimism.

SWITZERLAND
• The Swiss franc inched higher against the dollar and was broadly unchanged against the euro on Thursday, consolidating last week's gains against
the single currency.

EURO ZONE
• Loans to the euro zone's private sector contracted further in May as recession saps appetite for investment and spending while banks restrain
lending as they repair their balance sheets.
• German joblessness unexpectedly dropped in June and the unemployment rate remained close to its lowest level since reunification more than two
decades ago, underscoring the strength of the domestic economy.
• Banks cautiously welcomed European Union guidelines designed to shift the burden of paying for bank bailouts away from the taxpayer, a move
which analysts warn could make it harder for some weaker banks to attract funding. The EU spent the equivalent of a third of its economic output
on saving its banks between 2008 and 2011, using taxpayer cash. It is still struggling to contain fallout from the banking crisis which in Ireland's case
almost bankrupted the country.
• Italy's five‐ and 10‐year debt costs hit three‐month highs on Thursday at an auction that drew solid demand, as investors with one eye on central
bank stimulus programmes chased higher returns.
• Morale among French consumers is at an all‐time low and they are more pessimistic than ever about their future living standards, data showed on
Thursday, adding further to the gloom as France battles with unemployment.

UNITED KINGDOM
• Britain did not suffer a double‐dip recession early last year as previously thought, but household living standards suffered their biggest drop in a
generation at the start of 2013.
• Britain's government promised on Thursday to upgrade roads and carry out what it said was the biggest rail investment in more than 100 years as
part of its strategy to get the economy growing again while also keeping a tight lid on spending.

UNITED STATES
• The U.S. government slashed its estimate for first‐quarter economic growth on Wednesday, offering a cautionary note on the recovery as the
Federal Reserve ponders curtailing its massive monetary stimulus.
• U.S. consumer spending rebounded in May and new applications for unemployment benefits fell last week, suggesting the economy remained on a
moderate growth path.
