Seduta nera in Borsa, bruciati 200 miliardi. Si aggrava il crollo del rublo

Rublo e petrolio spaventano i mercati e mandano l'indice europeo Stoxx 600 a picco, ai minimi da fine ottobre. I listini del Vecchio Continente registrano una della loro peggiori performance bruciando quasi 200 miliardi di euro di capitalizzazione. E' questo il prezzo virtuale pagato in una seduta nervosa che soffre per i timori per la crisi in Russia.
L'Euro Stoxx 600 ha perso oggi il 2,19 per cento in particolare, segnalano i gestori che operano sul mercato, dopo che i dati macro hanno mostrato un declino nella produzione per l'area di New York e il prezzo del petrolio ha ripreso la discesa. In chiusura dei mercati europei il cambio tra l'euro e il biglietto verde quota a 1,2460 mentre prosegue e si aggrava il crollo del rublo, che fa registrare un altro record negativo nei confronti dell'euro e del dollaro. La moneta europea è arrivata a essere scambiata a 78,48 rubli, mentre la valuta americana a 63,03. Il petrolio Wti è invece di nuovo in calo del 2% a 56,5 dollari al barile.

Belgium gripped by travel chaos as strike takes hold

A national strike has brought much of Belgium to a standstill, with airports, train stations and local transport services being shut down as the country’s main trade unions protest government austerity. All flights have been grounded, with air traffic controllers joining the strike. Protesters are voicing their anger at measures that include tax hikes, the freezing of public sector pay and the raising of the retirement age. Taking to the streets of the country’s capital many demonstrators blocked key roads. One protester noted the growing demands being placed on people in an age of austerity:  “There are young and older workers, they were all told that they need to work until the age of 65 and now they need to work 2 years more.” The disruption resulting from the nationwide demonstration has also left sections of the public disgruntled, as one bystander told euronews: “I think they have shown their dissatisfaction enough times. Its time to get back to normal life now.” Unions held another mass demonstration just last month. Then they managed to assemble around 100,000 people in Brussels to oppose austerity. But the government has shown little sign of meeting their demands.

OCEANIA-SIDNEY - Gunman holds hostages in Sydney cafe

A gunman is holding a number of hostages in a cafe in Sydney. Police have surrounded the premises in Martin Place close to the city’s central business district. It’s not known exactly how many people are being held at the moment. The incident started early Monday morning when witnesses say they saw a man with a bag walk into the Lindt chocolate shop and cafe. The company said about 10 employees and around 30 customers were in the cafe at the time. Nearby offices and other buildings were cleared by police as soon as the situation became apparent. About six hours after the start of the siege three people were seen running from the premises with two more following around an hour later. It is not clear if they escaped or they were released at this stage. At one point a black flag was held up to a window on which was written Arabic script. Police are said to have identified the suspected gunman but asked media outlets not to publish his identity.
NSW deputy police commissioner, Catherine Burn said: “I won’t clarify any operation tactics at the moment. It is really important to remember that this is ongoing, that we still have people who are being held. We still have a person that we are dealing with. So as soon as we are able to provide that information.”
