Bank of Korea holds benchmark rate at 3.25% for seventh successive month BOK remains cautious about the impact of overseas developments on the Korean economy Many analysts forecast a rate cut, possibly in the second quarter, The Bank of Korea Friday kept its benchmark interest rate on hold for a seventh straight month but is widely expected to cut the rate later this year to underpin growth amid concerns about Europe's sovereign debt crisis and a global economic slowdown.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi says weaponry working after ECB postpones Armageddon
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi says his strategy for battling Europes debt crisis is starting to work. The ECBs massive injection of cash into the financial system last month is beginning to lubricate seized credit markets and there are tentative signs of economic stabilization in the euro area, Draghi said in Frankfurt yesterday. While substantial downside risks remain, he pointed to falling yields on Italian and Spanish debt this week. That may mitigate the need for further interest rate cuts in the short term and muffle calls for the ECB to step up its government bond purchases. While the 17-nation euro region is still in danger of sliding into recession after the debt crisis spread to Italy and Spain, driving up borrowing costs and hurting the export markets of stronger economies such as Germany, recent data suggest the worst may be over.
EUs Iran oil embargo said likely to be delayed for six months
A European Union embargo on imports of Iranian oil will probably be delayed for six months to let countries such as Greece, Italy and Spain find alternative supplies, an EU official with knowledge of the talks said. The embargo, which would need to be accepted by the 27- nation blocs foreign ministers on Jan. 23, also is likely to include an exemption for Italy, so crude can be sold to pay off debts to Rome-based Eni SpA, Italys largest oil company, according to the official, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. A ban on petrochemical products would start sooner, about three months after EU ministers agree to the measure, the official said. Crude oil prices dropped on the news, falling $1.77, or 1.8 percent, to $99.10 a barrel yesterday on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest settlement since Dec. 30.
