What drove the stock market’s wild swings this week, and what’s next?
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The stock market needs to see a therapist.
Temperamental, flighty, prone to violent mood swings, the market took investors on a wild ride this week. From one day to the next, even within a few hours, stocks swung from despair to optimism, deep losses to big gains.
The Dow Jones industrial average plummeted 460 points at one point Wednesday, but pared most of those losses by the end of the trading day. On Friday, it surged 263 points. The difference between the Dow’s high and the low for the week was the largest in nearly three years.
Investors seemed buffeted from every corner: Plunging oil prices, signs of a slowdown in Europe and fear of Ebola on the downside; strong corporate earnings and reassuring jobs market figures on the upside.
“We’ve entered a high-volatility market, and it’s here to stay,” said Bill Strazzullo, chief market strategist of Bell Curve Trading.
Here’s a look at the factors driving the manic trading, and the outlook for next week:
EUROPEAN RECESSION?
Investors are afraid that Europe could slip into another recession, perhaps deeper than the one it emerged from just a year ago, and the slowdown could cut into U…

Market Signals: A look at what has changed in financial markets in the last month
– canadianbusiness.com
What a difference a month makes.
On Sept. 18, the U.S. stock market reached a record high after a mostly uneventful summer. Long-term interest rates headed higher, a sign that investors expected steady U.S. growth. A widely watched measure of volatility in the U.S. stock market was near its lowest level of the year, and European markets were heading higher after a nasty downturn over the summer. The price of crude oil was declining, but nothing like the sudden plunges that would come weeks later.
Here is a snapshot of key market signals and what they’ve shown over the last month and year to date.
S&P 500 INDEX
It’s been a bumpy ride for U.S. stocks in the last month, especially since Monday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index nearly went into “correction” on Wednesday, meaning a decline of 10 per cent or more from a recent peak. The declines briefly wiped out the year-to-date gains for the index.
One month: Down 5.7 per cent.
Year-to-date: Up 2.1 per cent…
