    What does it mean and what's the English equivalent?

    The financial markets lead the chancellor around by the nose./i]

    (So what else is new?)

    I'd say something like this: The financial markets are pulling the chancellor through the arena by her nose ring.

    I don't really know the circus jargon here, but it's a circus reference. The circus aspect is somehow missing in #1.
