    • Brent crude falls under US$100, lowest in 14 months

      Brent crude slid below US$100 a barrel on Monday for the first time in 14 months as Chinese and U.S. data pointed to slower-than-expected growth in the world’s top oil consumers. Weak economic growth combined with ample supply has pushed oil prices down from a high for the year above US$115 hit in June, complicating efforts by central banks to ward off deflation and putting pressure on the budgets of major oil producers.

    • Brent falls to $84, near four-year low

      Brent crude fell to a fresh 47-month low on Wednesday before recovering to around US$84 a barrel, as faltering global growth curbed demand for fuel at a time of heavy oversupply. Oil saw its biggest daily fall in more than three years on Tuesday after the West’s energy watchdog slashed its forecasts for world oil demand for this year and 2015. Core members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries appear to be focused on fighting for market share rather than on cutting production to shore up prices.

    • Fed keeps rate at record low after slowdown in job growth

      WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is keeping U.S. interest rates at record lows in the face of persistent threats from a weak international economy and excessively low inflation.Fed officials said Wednesday that the U.S. economy is still expanding modestly. But in a nod to recent weaker data, they said in a statement that the pace of job gains had slowed — an indication that they may be concerned about the pace of hiring.

    • U.S. job growth slows, unemployment rate falls to 5.1%

      WASHINGTON — U.S. job growth rose less than expected in August, which could dim prospects of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike later this month, even as the unemployment rate dropped to a near 7-1/2-year low of 5.1 per cent and wages accelerated. Nonfarm payrolls increased 173,000 last month as the manufacturing sector lost the most jobs since July 2013, after an upwardly revised 245,000 rise in July, the Labor Department said on Friday. It was the smallest gain in employment in five months.

    • Mapping the mkt: 76 BSE stocks at 52-wk low, smallcaps hit hard

      NEW DELHI: An Indian fish and a Chinese monkey had predicted Donald Trump win in the US presidential election. And there were prophets of doomsday, who saw Friday’s carnage on the Dalal Street coming! But who cares? It was a Black Friday for the domestic equity market, which saw the BSE benchmark Sensex clock its second-biggest percentage fall of 2016, and that happened exactly nine months after a 3.4 per cent plunge in the index in February this year. Trump’s objective of making America ‘great’ again does everything right for US assets, be they stocks, 10-year treasury or the greenback.

    • Oil falls to lowest in almost 6 years as UAE backs OPEC stand on output

      LONDON — Brent and U.S. WTI crude oil prices fell to their lowest levels in almost six years on Tuesday as a big OPEC producer stood by the group’s decision not to cut output to tackle a glut in the market. Oil prices have fallen 60 per cent from their June 2014 peaks, driven down by rising production, particularly U.S. shale oil, and weaker-than-expected demand in Europe and Asia.

    • OECD downgrades global growth, says world’s economy needs urgent fiscal response from governments

      OTTAWA — The global economy is growing at a stubbornly weak pace and governments should be deploying fiscal tools alongside monetary policy to stoke growth, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said in its latest outlook Thursday.
