The Vix index, which tracks the vola lity of S&P 500 stocks, hit its highest level since June 2012, while yields on 10‐year US Treasuries lurched below 2 per cent ‐ the lowest since June last year ‐ as investors piled into safe haven assets. Fears of a recession in Europe were renewed a er a string of disappoin ng data on factory orders, industrial produc on and foreign trade from Germany, the largest economy in eurozone. The Interna onal Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned of a 35‐40 per cent chance of the eurozone slipping back into recession if preven ve ac on was not taken. The IMF also trimmed its 2014 global growth forecast from 3.7 per cent to 3.3 per cent last week. The darkening economic clouds led the Interna onal Energy Administra on, an energy watchdog for Western countries, to trim its forecast for oil demand growth to its slowest pace in five years as well. A er the Federal Open Market Commi ee mee ng on Oct 30 will come the Opec mee ng on Nov 27, when the cartel will decide whether or not it will cut produc on to boost oil prices. Source: Bloomberg
