World shares closed in on one-year highs on Tuesday as the prospect of prolonged cheap borrowing costs and a recent rise in oil prices set off a new emerging market bull run. The latest advance came as the prospect of a U.S. interest rate rise was pushed back by weak jobs data on Friday. This morning we saw shockingly bad US PMI numbers( the worst in almostb 6 years) hammer the US dollar, and despite a large drop in oil prices the Canadian dollar is much stronger basking in the overall USD weakness. Asian stocks reached one-year highs overnight and MSCI's 46-country 'All World' index was close as most of Europe's markets climbed 0.1 to 0.3 per cent higher.
