| | Financial Market Update |
| | Financial Market Updates will be produced twice a year and timed to fall between the semi-annual publication of the Global Financial Stability Report. | | | As a result, credit spreads in mature and emerging markets have narrowed, the cost of default protection has fallen, global equity markets have rallied strongly since their trough in March, and equity market volatility is low. | | | With credit spreads in corporate and emerging debt markets at low levels, the search for yield is increasingly providing incentives for financial market participants to move out the credit spectrum towards riskier assets, and to try to enhance returns through use of complex financial instruments such as credit derivatives. |

| | Open market operations are actually the tool that the Federal Reserve uses most often to change the money supply. | | | Most of the time, when households, businesses, and government agencies pay their bills they use checks, but for smaller purchases they also use currency or coins. | | | Government examiners conduct regular inspections of banks and other financial institutions to try to ensure that these firms are operating safely and responsibly. |

| | The ability of financial markets to transmit is highlighted in the market for foreign exchange, where we show that a tariff designed to protect jobs in one part of the economy could cost jobs in other parts. | | | Since we are looking at financial markets from the viewpoint of macroeconomics, this group of readings largely ignores the importance of financial markets in allocating funds. | | | To limit the number of markets they must explore, economists conventionally lump together or aggregate the vast number of markets in a modern economy into only four: markets for goods and services, financial assets, money balances, and resources. |

| | ABC News: London shooting shakes financial markets |
| | The London incident diverted attention from the main financial news — China's revaluation on Thursday of its currency and decision to peg it against a basket of currencies rather than just the dollar. | | | That decision to trade against a basket was taken by some investors to suggest that China would buy fewer U.S. Treasuries in the fure and diversify into euro zone bonds. | | | The incident at least temporarily moved investor focus away from China's revaluation of the yuan, which had been the main market mover. |
