Growth is set to slow across a number of the world’s largest economies, including China, the U.S. and the U.K., according to leading indicators released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The Paris-based research body said its gauges of future economic activity-based on information available through July–also point to slowdowns in Canada, Russia and Brazil. But its indicators point to a pickup in Europe, especially France.
China today announced plans tfor a “circuit breaker” for its stock exchanges, aimed at preventing panic selloffs during high volatility. The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges’ circuit-breaker system will be tied to the CSI 300 Index, which tracks stocks on both markets. Trading will be suspended when the index swings up or down 5%, while a rise or fall of 7% will lead to suspension of trading for the day.
The Nikkei finished down 2.4% at 17427.08, its lowest level since February. It is now off 0.1% year-to-date. The Shanghai Composite Index ended up up 2.9%.
