GLOBAL MARKETS
The U.S. dollar hit a nine-month peak in Asia on Monday as
the risk of faster domestic inflation and wider budget
deficits sent Treasury yields ever higher, a painful mix for
assets in many emerging market countries.
WORLD OIL PRICES
Oil prices were little changed on Monday near multi-month
lows, dragged down by worries about oversupply as OPEC saw
record output last month and as the U.S. rig count rose
again.
