Key Quotes
"A glance at last week's currency rankings shows NZD and KRW at the top, but it's those which have fallen against the dollar that tell the story: NOK, CAD, BRL, MXN."
"So, it was a bad week for anyone who exports oil."
"And that of course, feeds back into our concerns about a return of gloom about growth prospects, given the risk that cheaper oil feeds into lower CPIs before it feeds into stronger consumer demand."
