IMF warns of rising risks as USD hits Emerging Markets. Risks to
the global financial system are rising, as emerging markets face a
squeeze from the strong U.S. dollar and weak commodity prices, the
IMF said. While the strengthening greenback and lower oil prices are
boosting the world recovery, the changing landscape is putting
pressure on countries and firms that export crude and other
commodities, the International Monetary Fund said in its semiannual Global
Financial Stability Report. (Source: Bloomberg)
U.S: Manufacturing struggles with USD rising, oil falling.
American factories produced more cars in March and little else as a
strong dollar hampered exports and the plunge in oil prices cut into
spending on new equipment. The 0.1% gain in manufacturing output
marked the first advance in four months and followed a 0.2% February
decrease. (Source: Bloomberg)

E.U: ECB keeps rates on hold as Draghi assurance on QE path
awaited. The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged

improving euro-area economy. The 25-member Governing Council left the
main refinancing rate at 0.05%. The deposit rate and the marginal
lending rate stayed at minus 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively. Almost six
weeks into its EUR 1.1tr (USD 1.2tr) quantitative-easing plan, the

lending recovers. (Source: Bloomberg)
