Global Financial Headlines

The Federal Reserve is likely to deliver a second 50 basis point interest rate cut in November, according to traders' expectations. This follows a government report showing US inflation has cooled to a pace near the central bank's 2% goal. Volkswagen has cut its annual outlook for the second time in less than three months, citing weaker-than-expected performance in its passenger car division. This highlights the increasing pressure on Europe's top automaker. Investor hopes for a soft landing for the US economy will be tested next week as the government releases closely watched labour market data. This comes after a series of disappointing jobs reports. Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 Index is up 20% year-to-date, near a record high. The index is on track for its strongest January to September performance since 1997.
