The economies of the Arab nations, Russia and some Latin American countries have grown more stable during the run on raw materials, which is also reflected in stable demand for emerging market bonds, said Commerzbank Chief Economist Joerg Kraemer.

Manufacturers stay upbeat as exports rise

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ryan  
Britain's manufacturers today provide the government with some rare good news on the economy when they report that strong growth in exports to the Middle East and China has given the sector a 10th successive quarter of growth.

In its quarterly survey, the industry body EEF helped counter the gloom from the housing market and the high street by declaring that trading conditions remained robust despite hefty increases in the cost of fuel.
