EU discusses narrow British exceptionalism, not EU-wide reform – Open Europe
A leaked draft of the latest UK-EU deal suggests France and Germany are fighting UK demands on banking regulation and the status of non-Euro states in the EU, while other states don't want the UK benefit curbs to apply more widely. In effect, the deal narrows the scope for EU-wide reform in favour of British exceptionalism.

EM FX Traffic Light January 2016 – SAR risks stand outNordea
Today we introduce our new EM FX Traffic Light. Each month, we attach a red (highly risky), yellow (risky) or a green (less risky) Traffic Light to 33 different Emerging Markets currencies. The idea is to flag the currencies at highest risk of coming under extreme pressure in the next six months. In the January Traffic Light, the SAR is flashing red, while the CNY, NGN, EGP, HKD and COP all get a yellow light. A green light does not rule out other risks that are not covered by this model.

FX UpdateTF
The markets were calling for Yellen to deliver something to shore up market confidence but she entirely failed and the markets have been losing faith in central banks’ ability to move the needle anyway. The prime move on this remains USDJPY.

From the FloorTF
Equities and the dollar fell while bonds gold and core bonds gained on Thursday after Fed chief Jan Yellen's plain-vanilla testimony to Congress failed to inspire confidence in worried markets.
