wilfred. >> thanks very much seed ya. more flashes coming out of the situation in france. the french media is reporting the two suspects in the charlie hedbo incident have been located in in the east of france. >>> let's go back to markets. let's have a look at some bond prices. of course, the story of 2015 has been yield compression, more bond buying. not, in fact over the last 24 hours, but as you can see, the ten-year in the u.s. below 2%. germany remains below 4.5% briefly over the last couple of days. and the situation pointing to the expectation of bond buying from the ecb when we have the next ecb meeting in january. to discuss this is george head of u.s. rate strategies. good morning to you and thank you very much for joining us. the expectations by markets, by investors is that in the ecb meeting in the next couple of weeks, we will hear clear announcement about sovereign bond buying from the ecb. does that mean that the risk is on the downside that people are expecting mario draghi might disappoint? >> so this y

wilfred? >> thanks. let's look in in the markets and we're in the red today and really it's been risk off sentiment that's transferred through different time zones and no particular region has been able to buck that trend over the last 48 hours. you can see the stoxx 600 down .7% and it's been a really steady decline throughout the course of the day having opened slightly less than the .7% we're now down at the moment. let's look in at the individual markets and see where that is finding itself. the ftse 100 is down 1%. shell performing badly after it is focussing on financial discipline and that dragged heavy stocks down. germany down .86% and unemployment number coming at 6.5% this morning in line with expectations. france .6%. of course it's been a volatile couple of sessions for russia. let's look in in bonds. an interesting set of data to look at in particular the u.s. where we did see bond buying following the fed statement. there was a little bit of everything mt. fed statement from yesterday. foc

stephane joins frus paris. >> good morning, wilfred. it's the traditional story this time of year, who won the battle between boeing and airbus. according to reuters and ahead of the official announcement airbus booked more orders last boeing last year. but says that it was more than boeing. we know that boeing had 1,432 net orders for the last year. so airbus would be somewhere above this level. at the end of november for the first 11 months of the year the company had 1,031 net orders which means that it was a gap of more than 400 orders that need to be plugged in december. we know airbus last year faced a significant number of consolation, the main one being in june decided to drop a large order. in terms of -- you say boeing still is the largest planemaker 723 deliveries last year. that is a record level. it would break its own record, but according to specialist is from the industry it's unlikely to beat this performance from boeing and, therefore, the u.s. planemaker would be the largest one in terms of delivery for 2014. seema, b

. >> good morning, wilfred. quite reasonable performance for regional equities in the asia pacific region despite the stumble you were talking about earlier on wall street because the data messes and earnings disappointments. we didn't really see the halo effect in the apple suppliers listed over here. mixed performance for the component suppliers but the real action was on our front doorstep here in singapore. the monetary authority of singapore, unexpectedly easing policy by lowering the slope of the policy ban. singapore dollar we saw the weakest level in nearly five years. a degree of stability for the southeast asian markets as a result of this edged higher as did bangkok. they're in sharp focus this week. a lot of the policy meetings are live meetings. later on this week we'll have malaysia and thailand reviewing monetary policy and the new zealand central bank. very quickly, shanghai was the underperformer today. the financials the property market and energy stocks got hammered. we're down by 1.4%. back t

sri. >> thank you wilfred. better than expected trade data highlighted did backstop some of the markets. an otherwise fairly patchy session. let's talk about it in a bit more detail. the financials lost some steam so that offset some of the feel good factor from the data. as you mentioned, 9.7% expansion in exports for the many of december and i think on the imports side the real story was with the commodity markets. they're very clear to extrapolate from the data that the chinese were in the market toward the tail end of last year really opportunistically buying a lot of resources at these very low levels. record crude imports in the last month of the year. record soybean imports and iron ore imports. is that a trend that's going to remain over the course of 2015? probably not. we'll probably see a degree of moderation in aggregate resources demand. that helped to stabilize the shanghai market. nikkei back and it was the currencies that pressed the market low. the stronger yen trend did pause for breath offers
