Most of the world’s stocks fell today while investors are waiting the US jobs report. The jobs report might reveal whether the Federal Reserve’s decision was justified or not.
"Friday's jobs report will be of great interest to assess the psychology of the market," said Chris Weston, chief market strategist at IG in Melbourne, Australia. The Federal Reserve's "safety net isn't there anymore and fundamentals should matter more now," he said. "A poor number will really paint a clearer picture about whether the market is ready to revert to a more traditional stance and potentially sell-off on bad news and rally on good news."

The dollar rose to a seven-year high against the Japanese yen on Wednesday after a victory by Republicans in the United States' mid-term elections raised hopes for an easing of political gridlock in Washington, boosting sentiment for riskier assets.
The euro's struggles continued, though, a day ahead of a European Central Bank meeting, and it hit a two-year low against the Swiss franc.
The yen was also weighed down by comments from Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, who said the central bank is ready to do more to hit its 2 percent price goal and boost the economy. Kuroda stressed the BOJ is determined to do whatever it takes to hit the inflation target in two years and vanquish nearly two decades of grinding deflation.

The yen slipped to a new 7 year low against the dollar on Monday, extending a huge sell off triggered by the Bank of Japan's surprise decision last week to boost its already massive bond buying stimulus.
Sellers also targeted the euro, which slipped to a new 2 year low against the dollar ahead of a European Central Bank meeting later this week which some think could see further easing measures announced to shore up the Eurozone’s flailing economy.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday ended its monthly bond purchase program and dropped a characterization of US labor market slack as "significant" in a show of confidence in the economy's prospects.
In a statement after a two-day meeting, the central bank largely dismissed recent financial market volatility, dimming growth in Europe and a weak inflation outlook as unlikely to undercut progress toward its unemployment and inflation goals.
"On balance, a range of labor market indicators suggests that underutilization of labor resources is gradually diminishing," the Fed's policy panel said in an important departure from prior statements, which had described the slack as "significant."
"The committee continues to see sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy," it said.

Home-price growth slowed in August, pulling back the annual pace among 20 major US cities to the slowest rate in almost two years, according to data released Tuesday.
Sellers don’t love it when prices slow down, but the trend could lure buyers. Annual price appreciation in the residential market has been tapering since November, as more sellers have placed their homes on the market. In addition, higher mortgage rates and a rough winter hit sales earlier this year.

“People were anticipating a fairly decisive action, but weren’t necessarily considering that they were going to go all the way to slash and burn and get us down to zero,” said Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign-exchange strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in London. “That’s obviously the slight surprise.”

Shares of Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) fell more than 8% Friday as the market has decided it wouldn't touch the stock with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole.
And it's been that way all year.
The stock is now down 28% in 2014, making it the worst performer in the Tech 30 index. (Mobile chip company ARM Holding (ARMH, Tech30) had been the biggest loser before Friday.)
The huge loss in the third quarter is troubling enough. It's a sign that not all of Amazon's big investments are paying off. The Fire Phone, which Amazon hyped to death because it was a 3-D smartphone, has been an unmitigated flop.
But it's even more alarming that Amazon's fourth quarter sales projections are worse than expected.
Amazon, like all retailers, live and die by holiday shopping. If Amazon has a lousy fourth quarter, it's hard to make a compelling case for why the stock could go much higher anytime soon.

Asian Markets are Mixed

Asian markets were mixed following strong gains on Wall Street, with Tokyo enjoying a significant bump due to the US dollar's rise against the yen.
In Tokyo, stocks climbed as the US dollar - trading at its strongest levels in two weeks - rose into the Y108 range, with risk sentiment lifted by encouraging Chinese manufacturing data and solid readings for Eurozone business activity on Thursday.
A weak yen is positive for Japanese exporters as it makes them more competitive abroad and inflates profits when repatriated.
"The weaker yen should naturally benefit Japan stocks, and help to highlight the fact that shares are looking cheap from many perspectives," said Mutsumi Kagawa, senior global strategist at Tokai Tokyo Research Center.
Despite Tokyo's rise, investors will be keeping a close eye on the situation in New York where officials on Friday confirmed the city's first known case of the Ebola virus.

Ebola Causes Dollar to Fall
Follow us and SHARE this story on Facebook/Twitter:
The dollar was lower against the yen in Asia trade Friday, with news of a new Ebola patient in New York prompting investors to switch to the perceived safety of the Japanese currency.
The situation cleared to some extent, as a fresh round of global data including Eurozone PMI reduced fears about the global economic slowdown, causing US Treasury yields to rise.
However, news of the Ebola patient fed risk aversion, prompting buying of the yen, considered a safe harbor in uncertain times.
A doctor who returned to New York City recently after treating Ebola patients in West Africa tested positive for the virus Thursday. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said authorities had been preparing for an Ebola case for weeks and followed new protocols “very precisely.”
In addition, investors were reluctant to make major moves ahead of big events such as the outcome of European stress tests scheduled for Sunday, as well as the policy meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee and the Bank of Japan next week.

Amazon, the US retail giant, has revealed it’s lost nearly $500m in the past three months, the largest amount in its history.
Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s chief executive and founder, has authorized the company to spend tens of millions of dollars developing drones, which could form the backbone of a new delivery network, and much more on new servers for Amazon Web Services, its online data storage business.
In the past, Amazon’s investors have been patient with Mr Bezos’ strategy, on the basis that any money it spends on growing its market share now will lead to riches down the line, on a par with Apple and Google which make billions of dollars every quarter.
However, Amazon’s losses have widened, stretching their patience to breaking point.

Coca-Cola said it plans to slash costs by $3 billion a year after the world's biggest beverage maker reported disappointing sales on flat soda volume.
The maker of drinks including Powerade, Sprite and Diet Coke said the savings will help fund the marketing that's needed to drive up sales.
As sales of their drinks have slowed, Coca-Cola and rival PepsiCo have both sought to improve their financial performance by trimming costs. In the US, they're also trying to boost sales by pushing "mini-cans" positioned as a way to control portions.

The dollar was flat against the yen on Friday, with the dollar pressured by weakness in the Nikkei Stock Average as a result of investors trying to avoid risk.
The dollar maintained its overnight strength against the yen earlier in the session, following bright US indicators such as weekly unemployment claims, industrial output and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s business activity index.
But the dollar gave up earlier gain later on as stock market weakness invited buying of the Japanese currency, which is considered a safe haven in times of financial instability.

Asian stocks regained some stability on Wednesday following days of big losses, but the feeling remained fragile as not so good Chinese inflation data and sadness in the euro zone economy added to signs of an uncertain global economic recovery.
The dollar steadied after disappointing data out of Germany. “For now the market has calmed and there's some short relief. It's a natural rebound," said Takashi Hiroki, chief strategist at Monex in Tokyo.
Concerns over faltering global growth triggered a bruising selloff in global equity markets in the past week as a run of weak data showed no signs of lessening.

The price of crude oil fell to a new three-year low Monday as a split between the world’s most important producers on how to share the pain of lower prices becomes increasingly apparent.
Saudi Arabia is ready to accept a price of $80, according to a weekend report.
Saudi Arabia is the largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the cartel which produces a third of the world’s oil supply and essentially keeps the balance of supply and demand in the market. As Saudi Arabia can undercut almost every other country if it wants to, it has a huge influence on regulating OPEC’s overall supply.
The price of the world’s most important commodity is under pressure from both directions: demand is weakening as the European and Chinese economies slow down, while global supply is increasing as Iraqi and Libyan exports rebound from war-related disruptions. In addition the US pumps ever more oil from shale deposits while the long-term demand outlook is also looking rockier, because of new technologies such as electric cars.
Trading Tip: If the situation ni Europe and Asia won't get better soon, we might see the oil's price keep declining.

The yen rose to a one-month high against the dollar and traded near 11-month peaks against the euro on Monday, as investors turned cautious on concerns about the health of the global economy.
With market holidays in Tokyo and New York also boosting instability, the dollar dropped after Federal Reserve officials warned at the weekend that if the global recovery stumbled, it could delay an increase in US interest rates.
The euro rose 0.3% against the dollar but was slightly lower against the yen.
European Central Bank council member Ewald Nowotny said the euro was very likely to keep weakening against major currencies.
Trading Tip: If the dollar will keep declining against other currencies, the gold might rise as a result.

China’s slowing economy received a boost from faster export growth in September, with external demand spilling over to increase imports of goods such as the iPhone 6.
Exports increased 15.3% from a year earlier, the biggest increase since February 2013. Imports rose 7%, against projections for a 2% decline, leaving a profit of about $31 billion, data from the Beijing-based customs administration today showed.
Export demand is helping China weather a property drop. Global view is becoming more clouded, with Federal Reserve officials highlighting rising concerns about the improving US economy’s ability to withstand foreign weakness.
Trading Tip: Chinese stocks might be at a rise due to the increase in export.
