Last Week

  • The US announced that 336,000 new jobs were added in September which was far more than the 170,000 jobs that were expected. Bonds sold off after the data was released as it became clear to investors that interest rates would have to stay higher for longer to battle inflation. Bonds recovered slightly on Friday from their initial sell-off but yields, which rise when bond prices fall, remained near their ten-year high.
 
  • UK challenger bank, Metro Bank, has struck a deal to raise new funds after shares slumped last week over news that the bank had to raise more money to shore up its finances. The bank has raised £325m in new funding as well as £600m through a new debt refinancing. While shares rebounded in early Monday morning trading, they are still down 49% since last month.
 
  • UK house prices dropped in September for the sixth consecutive month as high mortgage rates continue to impact the housing market. The average UK house price was down 0.4 per cent between August and September and are currently 4.7 per cent lower than the same time last year.
