GLOBAL MARKETS ROUNDUP : 19.06.2014

GLOBAL MARKETS ROUNDUP
    * Asian stocks rose in early trade on Thursday, riding on
the optimism of Wall Street after the U.S. Federal Reserve gave
a positive assessment of the world's largest economy and
committed to retaining its accommodative monetary policy.

    * The U.S. dollar wallowed at its lowest in nearly two weeks
against a basket of major currencies early on Thursday, having
beat a hasty retreat after the Federal Reserve signalled that
interest rates will stay low for a while yet.
    * Brent crude rose to a nine-month high on Wednesday as
investors worried about exports from Iraq, while U.S. crude
dipped after government numbers showed domestic crude
inventories fell much less than an industry group had
reported.
    * U.S. Treasuries prices gained on Wednesday after the
Federal Reserve took a more dovish stance on monetary policy
than some had expected at its June meeting, a day after data
showed inflation pressures are rising.
