After pausing briefly on this morning’s slightly softer-than-anticipated inflation data (see my colleague Fawad Razaqzada’s post, “Dollar extends but CPI miss not a game changer” for more), US stocks have resumed yesterday’s selling rout.

Fawad Razaqzada October 11, 2018 7:10 AM

Risk remains out of favour following yesterday’s big drop in global stock markets.
