Stocks in the U.S., Asia and this morning in Europe had seen a renewed rout as concerns about China’s slowing economy and the global economy badly impacts financial markets.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index began September badly with its third-biggest loss of 2015 as the sharp falls that erased $5.7 trillion from the value of shares globally in August continued.
Oil tumbled the most in two months after a 27% gain in the previous three days. Emerging assets plunged and a measure of the risk premium on high-yield debt jumped.

According to the latest data on the US Mint’s website, sales of the American Eagle Bullion gold coin amounted to 101,500 ounces last month, down 40% from the 170,000 ounces sold in July. However, year-over-year, coin sales rose 306% when compared to the 25,000 ounces sold in August 2014 – see the full article in Commentary here.
