My version of the morning’s numbers is written to be informative; it’s includes what happened or will beyond the headline and shapes today’s markets as seen by RMi - SUBSCRIBE

European stocks slightly lower as caution returns ahead of Davos for the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) conference with the pan-European Stoxx 600 slipping -0.2% lower;

Asia Pacific shares were mostly higher on Monday; the People’s Bank of China kept the one year and five year loan prime rates (LPR) unchanged for January. Shares of Chinese drug makers and facial mask firms surged amid concerns over a coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Henry’omics:

Climate change and sustainable business will be a key focus for delegates at this year’s WEF summit, but other political risks such as international trade and geopolitical instability are also likely to be on the agenda.
