ReutersUBS gets backing for capital plan, Ermotti pay from Norway wealth fund
Norway's sovereign wealth fund has backed UBS' plan to make its Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds, a form of debt, more appealing to investors by protecting them from a wipeout, and also signed off on UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti's pay package. The vote from the Norwegian fund, UBS' second-largest shareholder, at the bank's annual general meeting this week is a boost for UBS, which is seeking to prop up its capital buffers to satisfy Swiss regulators' demands as it integrates its former rival Credit Suisse. AT1 bonds, a type of debt that acts as a shock absorber if a bank's capital levels fall below a certain threshold, have been encouraged by regulators since the 2008-09 global financial crisis.

FTSE 100 Record Marks 'New Dawn'
The FTSE 100's market high could be a new dawn, Newton Investment Management says after London's blue-chip index rose to as high as 8076.52 points, hitting a fresh record in morning trade. "The new market high has been a long time coming but despite the global uncertainty this has the potential for being a new dawn, rather than a short-term blip," head of U.K. equities David Cumming wrote in a market comment. The U.K.'s company mix is being favored by relative trends in commodity prices and interest rates, especially as the global tech rally fades, he said.

Expressionists, Tate Modern: Too many curatorial buzzwords, but Kandinsky saves the day
There hasn’t been a big survey of German Expressionism in Britain like this since 1960, focusing on the Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) group founded by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc before the First World War. Three-quarters of the exhibits have come from Munich’s Lenbachhaus museum (to which Gabriele Münter, a forceful painter, and Kandinsky’s partner, donated her collection), as well as the Münter foundation, which it helps to manage. Plentiful strange and ferociously glowing masterpieces make c

FOREX-Euro at highest since 2008 on yen, markets nervous about Toyko stepping in
The yen hit fresh multi-year lows against the dollar and the euro on Tuesday, keeping investors on heightened intervention watch ahead of the Bank of Japan's meeting this week, while dovish policy maker chatter left sterling around its softest in months. The euro, which climbed broadly after stronger than expected business activity data in France and Germany, reached 165.62 yen, its highest since 2008. "That's a combination of the stronger euro today, with the services data moving back into expansionary territory, an encouraging sign that the headwinds to growth for consumer spending are continuing to fade, and the yen continuing to weaken on the expectation that the BOJ will be very gradual in tightening policy," said Lee Hardman, senior currency strategist at MUFG.
