GLOBAL MARKETS ROUNDUP
* The euro started the new year at 29-month lows in Asia
after the head of the European Central Bank fanned expectations
it would take bolder steps on stimulus this month, underlining
the U.S. dollar's rate advantage.
* U.S. crude futures hit $55.11 a barrel before
easing to around $54.25 a barrel on the first trading day of
2015 in Asia, supported by a larger-than-expected fall in U.S.
crude stocks, though China's lacklustre economic data capped
gains.
