US stocks experienced their worse drop in 2 months before earnings season. Asian markets also declined as the Dollar traded as low as ¥107.8.

European markets are lower today as focus now turns to the FOMC Meeting Minutes which will be released at 6pm GMT today.

Oil sharply declined to a 2 year low after the IMF decision to cut the global growth forecast. The assumption is that if growth slows, demand for oil will also slow.

Gold gained and climbed above $1,215/ounce as the Chinese market re opened after holidays. Further gains were seen as the stock market and Dollar declined. Traders turned to safe haven assets following the IMF decision but this could be short term.

 

Trading Tip: If the FOMC Meeting minutes provide new information we should see Gold falling back down.

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:


 1) Calming Down 

US stocks aren’t changing much today.

US stocks fell Tuesday, suffering one of their worst days in 2014. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 272 points and both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq tumbled more than 1.5%. October is notorious for some of the worst market crashes in history.

Whether or not we get another one will likely depend on corporate earnings.


 2) Markets are Falling 

European markets were pushing further into the red in early trading. Most markets in Asia also declined overnight.


3) Market Movers - Air France and Yum! Brands 

Shares in Air France KLM (AFLYY) fell by more than 2% in Europe after the carrier said that a recent strike by pilots cost the company up to €350 million ($440 million) in the third quarter.

Keep an eye on shares in Yum! Brands (YUM). The parent company of KFC and Pizza Hut slashed its profit expectations. It has been struggling to recover from a tainted meat scandal in China, and the stock is down by just over 15% in three months.


4) Waiting for the Fed 

The Federal Reserve is expected to release the summary from its September meeting at 2:00pm Eastern Time.
