Commercial Awareness

Hey guys, was approached by a junior asking for help in preparing for their Spring Week at MS (spring weeks are 1st year banking programmes in the UK, they last about a week). I think her offer is for front office, and no specific division. The thing is, whilst I'm still acquainted with the theoretical side of IB, I really haven't been following financial news too much beyond my areas of interest. So I was hoping you could tell me what's hot right now, or important to know in terms of BB commercial awareness.
