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

Global stocks fell sharply on Monday after weak U.S. manufacturing data
and record job losses in Europe raised concerns about the world's economic
health while boosting the safe-haven appeal of U.S. and euro zone 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
write-downs.

Crude oil fell more than 3.0 percent to below $70 a barrel in a further
retreat from a near eight-month high. Nickel, zinc and lead prices tumbled more
than 6.0 percent, while copper also slid after the manufacturing data signaled
demand remains weak.
