Rates strategists at Dutch bank ING said market sentiment was “turning sour” on Europe’s debt dynamics. The stabilisation in markets on Friday was helped by a fall in oil prices. The global benchmark Brent crude was down 1.1 per cent at $101.23 a barrel.

That doesn’t bode well for risk assets, especially equities.
