Help - Trading application question - "recent development in industry"

[NickNick]

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the process of filling out job applications with the hope of Trading (mainly Currencies and Commodities) for one of the BBs in London.

One question has me stumped:
"Describe a recent development in the industry. What implications might this development have for our firm or the division to which you have applied?"

I'm trying to think of something that isn't what everyone else will be saying (read: something to do with sub-prime/credit squeeze).

Does anybody have any good ideas?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions! Sorry if this is more suited elsewhere!

Nick
