The dominant market sentiment driver appears to be the FOMC statement from Wednesday, which saw Yellen and co produce an increasingly dovish tone amid calls from many for the Fed to finally be done with the considerable time section of the statement, said Joshua Mahony at Alpari. The divergent interpretation of the FOMC continues to spread apart, with equities guys taking it as dovish, whilst FX and bonds guys took it as hawkish, said Jonathan Sudaria at London Capital Group. The week is set to end on a quiet note, with no major data and with just commentary from the Feds Evans and Lacker coming up. In Europe, German consumer confidence hit its highest level in eight years, on hopes economic expansion in Europes largest economy will accelerate in the coming months, a sentiment survey showed. Conditions are clearly improving the Europe biggest economy and that can only be a good thing for the eurozone. Signs point towards a potential bottoming out in eurozone fortunes of late and this is likely to have been driven by Germany, said Mr. Mahony. European stocks continued to rally on Friday, the Stoxx Europe 600--having already closed the previous session almost 3% higher on the day--added another 0.6% higher by mid-morning in line with individual country indexes across Europe. Risk sentiment is ending the week on a stronger footing after a poor start. Market expectations for ECB QE, as well as stronger economic data in the US and Europe, added to the Feds upbeat message and stabilization in Russia, said analysts at Barclays. EQUITIES Nike reported strong sales growth, but a dip in future orders coupled with underwhelming margin expansion tempered the outlook for the worlds biggest sportswear maker. World-wide orders of Nike apparel and footwear for delivery between December 2014 and April 2015 grew 7%, including currency changes, from the year prior. That is slower than both the 12% growth the Beaverton, Ore.-based company reported the same period a year ago and the 11% growth reported last quarter. Elsewhere, regulators handed Wall Street banks a temporary reprieve they have been clamoring for from a rule that forces them to pull out of certain risky investments. The Federal Reserve said it would give banks two additional years to sell their stakes in private-equity, venture-capital and hedge funds covered by the Volcker rule, a win for banks who had requested more time to unwind positions. The Volcker rule is a key plank of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law designed to restrain banks from engaging in risky activities that could threaten clients federally insured deposits. FOREX The ruble continued to recover from a brutal selloff earlier this week but remained volatile. It eased to 62.9 against the dollar in the first few minutes of trading on the Moscow exchange but then recovered somewhat, edging close to its Thursday closing level of 61.4. Earlier this week the Russian finance ministry said it was ready to sell as much as $7 billion to stabilize the ruble after the central bank carried out massive monetary tightening, hiking its key interest rate by 6.5 percentage points to 17%. The measures taken by Russian authorities to stem the ruble slide and contain the turmoil in Russian markets, coupled with perceptions of a dovish Fed, have sparked a turnaround over the past few trading sessions, Barclays economists wrote. Nevertheless, the fate of the Russian economy is strongly linked to the price of oil. Other currencies of economies dependent on oil, like the Canadian dollar and the Norwegian krone, were broadly unchanged on Friday. Nigerias naira was also steady according to FactSet data, but remains close to an all-time low against the U.S. dollar, after the Nigerian central bank imposed new foreign-exchange controls earlier this week. Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan announced that it is standing pat on monetary policy, opting to gauge the effects of its expanded stimulus campaign, despite a rapid fall in global oil prices that threatens its efforts to generate 2% inflation. That sent the U.S. dollar to a one-week high against the yen of 119.47. The buck was broadly steady against the euro at $1.2277. BONDS U.S. Treasury yields edged higher in London as investors move into riskier assets. At 0942 GMT, the March Treasury contract was 5/32 lower at 126-105 while the 10-year was yielding 2.225%, up nearly 20 basis points from this weeks low. COMMODITIES Global oil prices are steadier in Europe, after a volatile week, as Brent whipsaws around the key $60/barrel mark. If prices stay near current levels, they could provide a meaningful boost for big consumers like the U.S., China, Japan and India, Deutsche Bank said in a note. Major exporting nations, however, will suffer. DB estimates that, at current levels, none of the major oil exporters including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Nigeria and Venezuela, will be able to balance their budgets next year. Brent was near flat in early European trading at $59.35 while WTI was up 0.5% to 54.37 on The New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold prices were near-flat in Europe, with the Christmas season signalling fewer trades. Spot gold was trading at $1,198.47 a troy ounce, down just 0.02% in morning European trade. The yellow metal is relatively unchanged and running out of steam before Christmas, said analysts at Numis Securities. The party hat is on and gold looks to be subdued from now [until] the start of 2015, as traders are likely to be away from their desks and there is no significant upcoming economic data due, said Howie Lee, an investment analyst at Phillip Futures. The rest of the precious metals were mixed going into the holiday period. Silver was up 0.6% at $15.959 an ounce, platinum was down 0.05% at $1,197.70 an ounce, and palladium was up 0.03% at $791.20 an ounce.
