It is lonely in the diminishing camp of bears, says Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. 06 Jun 2009 Sweden is preparing to part-nationalise banks exposed to the economic collapse in Baltic states, raising fears in other Western European countries. 04 Jun 2009 First EU country to face a sovereign debt crisis after failing to sell a single bill at $100m auction. 03 Jun 2009 The European Union has slipped the leash of democratic control. It is one thing to advance the Monnet Project by treaty creep and stealth directives. It is another to put questions of sovereignty to a popular vote and then refuse to abide by the outcome. 31 May 2009 The European Commission has unveiled far-reaching plans for a new EU regulatory machinery with binding powers. 27 May 2009 The US Treasury is facing an ordeal by fire this week as it tries to sell $100bn (£62bn) of bonds to a deeply sceptical market amid growing fears of a sovereign bond crisis in the Anglo-Saxon world. 24 May 2009 China has doubled its bullion reserves and left us in no doubt that it will spend more of its $40bn monthly surplus on hard assets rather than the toxic paper of Western democracies. 23 May 2009 But UK has some cards in its favour, writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard 21 May 2009 Japan beware, crashes have a habit of bringing regime change 17 May 2009 Our delicious spring rally is nearing the limits. The 40pc rise on global bourses since March assumes that central banks have conjured away the debt overhang by slashing rates to zero and printing money. Nothing of the sort has occurred. Two thirds of the world economy will be in deflation by July. 10 May 2009 China warns monetary stimulus by Western governments risks setting off worldwide inflation and undermining bond markets. 06 May 2009 The City of London is on borrowed time. Great banking centres can prosper for 40 years or so after the host country has lost industrial leadership but then some shock or political upset exposes the fragility of it all. 04 May 2009 The EU's working age population will peak next year before tipping into decline for half a century 29 Apr 2009Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
