Euro, stocks rally as China reassures investors
NEW YORK - The euro staged a broad rally and US stocks jumped about 3 percent on Thursday, after China said Europe remains a key investment market for its foreign-exchange reserves.
The People's Bank of China said a Financial Times report that Beijing was concerned about its euro-zone bond holdings due to the European debt crisis was groundless. The report had driven the euro to a near four-year low on Wednesday and cut short a rally in US stocks.
Stocks in Europe and emerging markets also jumped and crude oil prices jumped 4 percent as the perceived risk that China might change the composition of its foreign exchange reserves was reduced.

How to profit from Australia's—and other Western—policy foibles.
There's a reason for all those grins you may be seeing in China's resource industry these days. Beijing has built a resources strategy on the premise that the market is a fickle supplier and the best way to ensure the world's fastest-growing economy gets the resources it needs is to secure its own supply chain from the earth's crust on up. Wouldn't you know, the capitalist West now is giving China reason to think it was right, superficially at least. And China happens to be perfectly situated to capitalize on it.
