Daily ShotTF
Turkey's central bank is under pressure from the government to cut rates, which doesn't make sense in the face of a falling currency. It cut rates by 50 basis points last week, which apparently wasn't large enough for President Erdogan. The bank is now left in a bind ahead of its scheduled rate-setting meeting on March 17. Its independence is being put into question and the lira has fallen to new lows against the dollar. A rate hike by the US Fed later this year could do even more damage.

FX UpdateTF
EURUSD melting lower toward 1.10 has been grabbing all of the headlines, but most of that has been a weak euro story. The USD, meanwhile, is merely among the strongest currencies rather than a true stand-out. Cue today’s US employment report for whether the USD bull is ready to charge again.

From the FloorTF
If the euro had been hoping for some support from Mario Draghi's ECB press conference yesterday, it got very little with an initial spurt giving way to sub 1.10 levels. With today's NFP looming, the common currency is floundering.

Daily NewsletterTF
After several months of unexpectedly strong US employment data, markets are expecting more of the same in today's NFP print. Should the numbers oblige, expectations of a near-term Fed rate hike should ratchet up a tick or two. Also worth watching today is revised Eurozone GDP data. Germany's industrial output data is also due and always worth tracking as a proxy of wider Eurozone prospects.

Kun politiikasta tuli kvartaalipopulistista vähittäiskauppaaYLE
Politiikka ja aatteet eivät sovi tänään yhteen. Milloin aatteettomuus astui mukaan politiikkaan ja milloin tilalle astui kvartaalipopulistinen vähittäiskauppameininki? Milloin brändit ja imagot jyräsivät aatteet ja tilalle astuivat lyhyen aikavälin pikavoitot? Sakari Sirkkasen haastateltavana on entinen Ylen taloustoimittaja, nykyinen viestintäyrittäjä, puolueiden aatteista kirjan kirjoittanut Jouko Marttila.
