Benzinga's Political Round Up

The IMF failed to resolve what appears to be a currency war in the making, as it hosted a series of world economic leaders this weekend. A weaker U.S. dollar would support companies like Alcoa AA and Deere DE. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said the world economy appears to be slowing. This could potentially lead to a fresh round of stimulus, and causing inflation in commodities like copper and gold. This would benefit Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. FCX. China lifted its reserve ratio on banks to hold more capital, as it looks to slow its economy. This move would hurt shares of HSBC Holdings plc ADR HBC.
