We studied the flight ahead of the release of oil stocks

The second day of dramatic oil prices falling following global energy watchdog decision to release an additional 60 million barrels of oil on the market.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which is based in Washington, DC, is reported to the review of business models potentially unusual on the oil futures market until the decision was made public Thursday.

A spokesman for the CFTC has refused to comment on.

Relocation of IEA to release 60 million barrels of oil led to an immediate liquidation Thursday, with oil fell $ 5. The price has dropped another $4 per barrel in London yesterday on concerns over the stability of the euro area and the economic health of the world.

Oil and other commodities also came under pressure increase in the dollar against the euro, driven by concerns that the Parliament of the Greece cannot pass of austerity measures which will publish an international bailout.

One of the effects of the release of stocks of emergency reserves was to reduce the gap between New York and London reference price oil futures.

Brent crude was much more expensive than West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for months, reaching a peak of $23 above the benchmark of U.S. this month. The difference is now about 15 dollars per barrel.

James Zhang, analyst of Standard Bank, said: "an increase in crude supplies of water origin of the United States is likely to see Brent/WTI spread narrow, and it is also likely to buffer refining margins."

"In Europe, an important part of the release of the reserve will be produced oil, given the way in which the oil reserves special is managed in Europe." As the oil product market is already fairly low in Europe, the release could lead product cracks even lower in the short term. »

• J Sainsbury, the supermarket, will report its second-quarter results on Wednesday. The chain is thought to have had a strong quarter, and analysts expect like-for-like sales to have grown by 2pc compared to 1pc over its first quarter. New store growth is expected to accelerate throughout the year. The retailer should benefit from its South East bias, where it has its highest concentration of stores and where the looming Government cuts will have the least impact.

• Greggs, the sausage roll maker, will update the market on recent trading. The retailer said in August that first-half profits had risen by 12.3pc to £18.6m. However, Ken McMeikan, chief executive, warned that the pressure on the trading environment would increase over the second half of the year as the austerity measures kick in.

• Robert Walters will kick off a round of reporting from recruitment companies on Wednesday, as it updates on third-quarter trading.

At its results for the six months to June 30 e_SEmD issued in August – the white-collar recruiter revealed that it had swung back into the black, recording a pre-tax profit of £5.1m compared to a loss of £2.6m last time. Growth had been boosted by increasing demand in Asia.

Recruitment peers Hays and Michael Page will follow with trading updates on Thursday. At its full-year results in August, Hays revealed a slump in pre-tax profits to £29.7m from £151m the previous year, but said the outlook across 90pc of its markets was continuing to improve.

Ahead of the first-quarter trading update, analysts at Panmure Gordon said in a note last week that comparatives from last year were soft, which should lead to progress in Asia Pacific and Europe. Michael Page will update on third-quarter trading. More than 70pc of the recruiter's gross profits came from overseas markets in the first half of the year. At the time of the half-year update, Steve Ingham, chief executive, said an increase in permanent jobs did show a level of confidence in the market.

• Investors in Marks & Spencer should not expect any big strategic statements from new chief executive Marc Bolland this week. Those are going to be unveiled at the retailer's interim results next month. What observers can expect, however, is an update covering the summer months when trading on the high street was volatile due to the patchy summer weather.

• Ted Baker, the clothing retailer, will report its first-half results. Ray Kelvin, the company's founder and chief executive, said in June that sales had been robust over the first half of its year.

Trading in the UK was strong, and sales in its overseas markets were improving.

• Rank's trading statement will be eagerly watched for signs that bingo admissions are stabilising and that its Mecca Full House concept, aimed at a younger generation of players, is delivering decent returns. Any acceleration of the rebranding of Rank's G Casino format is also likely to be welcomed. Credit Suisse expects full-year pre-tax profits of £53.3m.

Dignity Sutton Coldfield (EGM) SIR Terry Leahy, the Tesco chief executive, will oversee his final results at the helm of the UK's biggest supermarket on Tuesday.

He hands over the top job to Phil Clarke in March next year having led the retailer since 1997. It is a tenure that has seen Tesco grow from a largely UK chain to one of the world's biggest retail groups with operations in 14 countries. Analysts expect his last results e_SEmD which will cover the first half of Tesco's financial year e_SEmD to show that sales over the six months to August 28 rose by around 8pc to £30bn while pre-tax profit is expected to be up 3.4pc to £1.6bn.

The retailer's Asian operations will show strong growth, helped over this half by favourable currency movements.

Analysts at broker Jefferies International expect a more "muted" recovery in Central Europe. Tesco's loss-making Fresh & Easy chain in the US is also expected to have remained a drag on profitability. The City expects first half losses of around £80m from the division. Overall, international trading profit is expected to be up 28pc year-on-year. THE Bank of England is expected to keep the base rate at its record low of 0.5pc when the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) announces its decision on Thursday.

Policymaker Andrew Sentance is widely predicted to repeat for a fifth month his call for rates to rise, while his fellow MPC member Adam Posen has just come out in favour of more quantitative easing (QE), presenting the possibility of a three-way split on the MPC over how to manage the fragile economic recovery.

Monday's construction data is expected to show growth is slowing after the second-quarter spike following the harsh winter. The next day's services PMI could prove an indicator of the likelihood of QE, if more weak data suggests the recovery is stalling.

Chancellor George Osborne is expected to address the Tory party faithful in Birmingham on Monday, which could offer some policy insights.
