Investors warm to Russian assets:
"Investors have warmed to Russian assets, welcoming the country in from the cold.
Russian bond funds counted record inflows in the week to February 1 as higher crude prices and improving relations with the US prompt an investor rotation back into the country.
Emerging markets more broadly have found renewed investor appetite as the dollar has fallen to an 11-week low. More than $1bn flowed into emerging market fixed income and equity portfolios in the past week, the EPFR data showed."

U.S. airline CEOs ask to meet with Tillerson on Gulf carriers | Reuters:
"The CEOs of the three largest U.S. airlines have asked to meet with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to discuss allegations that Gulf states are unfairly subsidizing state-owned carriers, driving down prices and crowding out competition on key routes, accusations those carriers deny.
The chief executives of American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O), United Continental Holdings Inc (UAL.N) and Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL.N) asked for the meeting in a letter posted on the website of the U.S. airlines-backed Partnership for Open & Fair Skies.
"We are writing to bring to your attention an issue of utmost importance to the future of our industry: the massive subsidization of three state-owned Gulf carriers – Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Emirates – and the significant harm this subsidized competition is causing to U.S. airlines and U.S. jobs," the letter, sent on Wednesday, said.
