　　The year of Brexit and Trump

　　Despite the Brexit vote, growth in Britain outpaced the euro area, again. America's steady recovery continued, while Japan's faltered. China's slowdown was stately.

　　After staying steady for months as fewer of the unemployed left the labour force, America's unemployment rate is falling again. In the euro area, it remains close to 10%.

　　In America, annual consumer-price inflation approached 2%. Elsewhere too, higher oil prices and a stronger dollar nudged prices up, though Japan still flirts with deflation.

　　Some analysts declared an end to the 30-year bull market in government bonds as yields picked up at last, most notably after Donald Trump's election victory. They may be premature.

　　The oil price spiked after OPEC in November agreed to cut output. Gold's advance was stemmed by the American election. China's economic resilience bolstered the copper price.

　　It was a good year for investors in emerging-market equities, and in America, especially after Donald Trump's victory. Foreign investors in British equities were hit by the weak pound.

　　The pound was pummelled by Brexit; the dollar boosted by expectations of the Trump presidency. China spent some of its reserves to slow the yuan's depreciation against the dollar.

　　The Donald Trump effect thumped the Mexican peso. Other emerging-market currencies flailed, including Turkey's and Malaysia's. The oil-reliant rouble bucked the trend.
