Wall Street is having its worst week since March posting a third consecutive day in the red with the 10-year Treasury yield stalled at levels not seen since 2007. The BoJ maintains its ultra-low interest rate causing the yen to fall. This as inflation data comes in above target for the 17th month in a row. Sterling also plunges to a six-month low after the Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey casts the tie-breaking vote to hold rates steady following 14 consecutive increases. In autos news, talks remain stalled between Detroit’s Big Three and UAW bosses ahead of a deadline later today. More sporadic strikes have been promised unless an agreement is found. And News Corp and Fox Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch steps down from the helm to pass the reins on to son Lachlan. He will remain as chairman emeritus of the media empire.
