"But the US dollar recovered ground as stocks held onto their gains, with the Australian dollar easing back to around 93.90 to 94 US cents," Mr de Garis said. Easing tensions over Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash in Ukraine also boosted risk appetite(Risk
Appetite 风险承受力 is a method to help guide an organisation's approach to risk
and risk management. The level of risk that an organization is prepared
to accept, before action is deemed necessary to reduce it. It represents
a balance between the potential benefits of innovation创新的潜在利益 and the threats
that change inevitably brings改变带来的不可避免的风险. The appropriate level (Levels of risk
appetite) will depend on the nature of the work undertaken and the
objectives pursued寻求的目标. For example, where public safety is critical (e.g.
operating a nuclear power station) appetite will tend to be low, while
for an innovative project (e.g. early development on an innovative
computer program) it may be very high, with the acceptance of short term
failure that could pave the way to longer term success. Below are
examples of broad approaches to setting risk appetite that a business
may adopt to ensure a response to risk that is proportionate given their
business objectives.
Averse: Avoidance of risk and uncertainty is a key organization objective. Minimal: Preference for ultra-safe options that are low risk and only have a potential for limited reward. Cautious: Preference for safe options that have a low degree of risk and may only have limited potential for reward. Open:
Willing to consider all potential options and choose the one most
likely to result in successful delivery, while also providing an
acceptable level of reward and value for money. Hungry: Eager to be innovative and to choose options offering potentially higher business rewards, despite greater inherent risk. The
appropriate approach may vary across an organization, with different
parts of the business adopting an appetite that reflects their specific
role, with an overarching 整体的 risk appetite framework to ensure consistency.), he said. "It's
been a risk-on mood in global markets overnight, aided somewhat by the
recovery of bodies from the MH17 crash site which has done something to
ease Russia tensions, for now anyway," he said. All eyes on(all eyes are on somebody/something 所有人都在看, 所有人都在观望 if all eyes are on someone or something, everyone is watching that person or thing and waiting to see what will happen.

The responsibility of her new job had begun to weigh on her. The high price of property weighs heavily on many businesses. weigh on someone's mind 心情沉重不已, 重重的压在心上: The decision to move has been weighing heavily on Eric's mind. be/lie/weigh heavy on literary to make you feel continuously worried or uncomfortable. Guilt lay heavy on his shoulders. time lies/hangs heavy on your hands literary used for saying that time passes slowly, so that you feel bored and impatient. Market sentiment 市场情绪 is the general prevailing attitude of investors as to anticipated price development in a market. This attitude is the accumulation of a variety of fundamental and technical factors, including price history, economic reports, seasonal factors, and national and world events. For example, if investors expect upward price movement in the stock market, the sentiment is said to be bullish牛市的(bull market). On the contrary, if the market sentiment is bearish熊市的(bear market), most investors expect downward price movement. Market sentiment is usually considered as a contrarian indicator( contrarian [ˌkonˈtreərɪən] I. 喜欢对着干的人. 各色. 跟别人拧着劲来. 特立独行的人. 跟大家都不一样的人. 逆潮流而动的人. someone who often has the opposite opinion to most other people. II. business
someone who invests money in the opposite way to most other people, for
example buying shares in companies that are doing badly, because they
think that the situation will change. ): what most people expect is a good thing to bet against. Market sentiment is used because it is believed to be a good predictor表示 of market moves市场走向, 市场走势,
especially when it is more extreme. Very bearish sentiment is usually
followed by the market going up more than normal, and vice versa. A contrarian is a person who takes up a contrary position, a person who seems to be "contrary for the sake of being contrary为了不一样而不一样," especially a position that is opposed to that of the majority, regardless of how unpopular it may be. It is similar to iconoclasm; attacking or openly rejecting cherished beliefs and institutions or established values and practices, but unlike the contrarian, the motive is not simply to be contrary or a tool to incite discussion引起争论的一种方式. Contrarian styles of argument and disagreement have historically been associated with radicalism and dissent. Iconoclasm (aɪˈkon əˌklæz əm) is the deliberate destruction within a culture of the culture's own religious icons and other symbols or monuments, usually for religious or political motives. It is a frequent component of major political or religious changes.
The term does not generally encompass the specific destruction of
images of a ruler after his death or overthrow (damnatio memoriae).
People who engage in or support iconoclasm are called "iconoclasts (aɪˈkonəˌklæst)挑战权威的人", a term that has come to be applied figuratively to any individual who challenges "cherished beliefs or venerated ([ˈvenəreɪt] to respect or worship someone or something.) institutions on the grounds that they are erroneous/ɪˈrəuniəs/错误的 or pernicious( 道德败坏的/pə(r)ˈnɪʃəs/ very dangerous or harmful, especially to someone's moral character. )". Conversely, people who revere or venerate religious images are (by iconoclasts) called "iconolaters 偶像崇拜者(iconolatry偶像崇拜)".
In a Byzantine context, they are known as "iconodules", or
"iconophiles". Iconoclasm may be carried out by people of a different
religion, but is often the result of sectarian disputes between factions of the same religion.). The news has also caused safe-haven currencies and assets to surge while global equities have taken a tumble下跌. Westpac senior currency strategist Sean Callow said the Aussie dollar was proving fairly resilient有韧性的. 'There's no sign of panic, the markets are not regarding the downing of the aircraft as a major economic or financial event and not something with profound深远影响 implications for markets,' he said. But despite initially falling刚开始的下跌 on the news, the Australian dollar had stabilised on Friday and remains resilient, Westpac senior currency strategist Sean Callow said.
