TAKE-A-LOOK: US dollar jumps, global stocks slide, bonds up

 Global stocks slid sharply on Monday after weak U.S. factory activity data
and news of record job losses in Europe raised concerns about the world economy
while boosting the safe-haven appeal of government debt.
 The U.S. dollar gained broadly after Russia expressed confidence in the
greenback as the world's reserve currency, and the euro extended losses after
the European Central Bank said euro zone banks face another $283 billion in
writedowns.
 Oil fell almost 2.0 percent to below $71 a barrel, another retreat from a
near eight-month high. Nickel, zinc and lead prices tumbled more than 6.0
percent, while copper also fell after U.S. manufacturing data suggested demand
remains weak.
