    8 Decedmber 2011, Sweetcrude, Lagos – Local and international financial market update.
    · EUROPE – Germany and the Netherlands are selling short-maturity debt at record-low yields, with traders willing to take a loss to own the safest securities as the collateral banks use to raise funds becomes scarcer. Germany agreed December 5 to a yield of 0.0005 percent to borrow for six months, the least since year 2000, while the Netherlands auctioned three month debt at a yield of minus 0.004 percent the same day.

    · U.S.A – The U.S. economy may have achieved a sustainable pace of growth that eases pressure on the Federal Reserve to buy more bonds while giving it time to fine tune how it informs the public about the outlook for interest rates. Since early November, reports on employment, manufacturing and retail sales have dispelled concerns the world’s largest economy may slide back into recession.

    · CHINA – Most global investors predict China will face a banking crisis within the next five years, paring their appetite for the nation’s shares and eroding confidence in its leadership. Sixty percent of respondents in a Bloomberg poll said they anticipate a crash in the financial industry by late 2016, and only 10 percent were confident China’s banks will escape trouble
