Dow and S&P 500 are back at record highs as US stock market ends a wild October with a surge
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – For stock investors, there was no shortage of drama in October.
Stocks started the month modestly below a record high, only to cascade to their worst slump in two years. But after flirting with a correction, or a 10 per cent drop, the U.S. market rebounded and closed at all-time highs on the last day of the month.
All told, U.S. stocks ended October solidly higher, up 2.3 per cent. The Dow Jones industrial average capped the rally by rising 195.10 points, or 1.1 per cent, to end at 17,390.52 on Friday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 23.40 points, or 1.2 per cent, to 2,018.05 and the Nasdaq composite added 64.60 points, or 1.4 per cent, to 4,630.74.
Both the Dow and the S&P 500 closed at record highs.
It’s a remarkable turn given the month’s volatility, which at times approached levels from the 2008 financial crisis. Then again, the month has an unfortunate history for unsettling moves, such as the stock market crashes of 1929 and 1987.
This October, the market’s seesaw path was driven by fears that Europe’s economy was slipping back into a recession, worries about plunging oil prices and concerns of possible weakness in the U…

Why super-low inflation can pose a threat to economies like Japan’s
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – In explaining its surprise move Friday to inject more stimulus into the financial system, the Bank of Japan cited one main factor: Prices that are too low.
Japanese central bankers worry that prices are starting to flat-line, especially amid tumbling crude oil costs and lacklustre consumer demand. The BOJ warned that without action, Japan could find itself slipping back into the same “deflationary mindset” that has hampered the world’s third-largest economy for much of the last two decades.
Extremely low inflation might seem like a healthy quality for an economy. Stagnant prices certainly feel better than the double-digit inflation that bedeviled the United States in the 1970s. But excessively low inflation can be just as destructive for an economy as runaway price increases.
The BOJ and other major central banks regard 2 per cent as a healthy long-term inflation target. The latest data for Japan showed that a gauge of core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, fell shy of even 1 per cent…
