Bloomberg:
- Vancouver Home Sales Fall 39% as New Rules Chill Market. Vancouver home sales plunged 39 percent in October from a year earlier, the biggest drop since 2010, as new regulations chill Canada’s most expensive property market. Sales in the Pacific coast city fell to 2,233 in the month, from 3,646 a year earlier, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said Wednesday. That was 15 percent below the 10-year average for October.
- Stock Slump Deepens in Asia Amid Election Angst as Bonds Advance. The selloff in equities continued in Asia after the Federal Reserve standing pat on monetary policy did little to ease market angst ahead of next week’s U.S. presidential election. New Zealand’s benchmark entered a correction, while shares in Sydney sank for a third day. Futures on equity gauges in South Korea and Hong Kong tracked a slump in U.S. stocks with Japanese markets closed Thursday. Haven assets maintained gains, with the yen near a two-week high versus the dollar, gold rising for a sixth straight session and government debt in Australia and New Zealand advancing as well. Copper futures retreated, while oil was below $46 a barrel after a record jump in U.S. stockpiles fueled concerns over the glut.
- December Fed hike odds approach 80 percent as traders pivot to payrolls. The 78 percent probability traders are assigning to a rate hike is up from 68 percent on Tuesday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, as policy makers noted growing confidence that inflation is on track to reach their 2 percent target.
