"Try and act soon," the risk analyst told a colleague in the department dealing with investment fund Archegos, warning that the fund was vulnerable to liquidation, exposing Credit Suisse.

The low rate environment has been a major driver of flows into equities while competing assets of cash or fixed income were "very unattractive", CEO Peter Harrison told Reuters.

Posted by admin

in News

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's government should take on hundreds of billions of pounds of hard-to-sell bonds held by the Bank of England to reduce the risk of the BoE's independence being questioned when the time comes to raise interest rates, a think-tank said.

Posted by admin

in News

By Tom Westbrook SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The dollar hovered around a two-week low on Thursday, weighed down by the latest insistence from Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell that rate increases aren't on the radar, while sterling has been riding higher with re-opening optimism. Overnight, the Fed first sounded confident about the economy in its statement.

The greenback initially rose following the statement, before retreating to a two-week...
