Top News of the Day:

Japan’s foreign reserves extended declines in October, following the previous month’s record drop, the Ministry of Finance said on Tuesday, reflecting the largest ever amount of yen-buying, dollar-selling intervention.

The data comes alongside separate figures that confirmed Japan did not conduct stealth intervention in September and only entered the market to buy yen for U.S. dollars on Sept. 22 as announced, its first foray into the market to prop up the Japanese currency since 1998.

Top Market Segment to Watch Out Today:

RENAULT: Renault SA (OTC:RNLSY) and China’s Geely said on Tuesday they have agreed to launch a new, equally held joint venture that will supply gasoline engines and hybrid technology to the brands they own as well as to other automakers. The agreement represents an important benchmark in a months-long effort by the French automaker to carve out its gasoline car business as a separate company.

Economic News:

US: US consumer borrowing rose in September by less than expected, reflecting a smaller advance in credit-card debt outstanding.

Total credit increased $25 billion from the prior month, Federal Reserve figures showed Monday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a $30 billion advance. The figures aren’t adjusted for inflation.

Revolving credit outstanding, which includes credit cards, rose $8.3 billion, the smallest increase in four months. Non-revolving credit, such as loans for school tuition and vehicle purchases, increased $16.7 billion, the most in three months.

Inflation has surged across the economy, driving up the costs of everything from necessities like electricity to more discretionary purchases like airfares.

As a result, some households are beginning to tighten their belts. Visa Inc (NYSE:V). and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:MA). both noted recently that spending growth had slowed. More broadly though, American households have proved to be largely resilient amid rapid price increases.

Euro Zone: British businesses fear a gloomy Christmas ahead, as almost half of households plan to cut festive spending due to the soaring cost of living and sales are already falling sharply in inflation-adjusted terms.

Payments processor Barclaycard said 48% of people it surveyed over Oct. 21-24 plan to spend less this Christmas, with 59% intending to buy less generous gifts and 42% cutting back on socialising.

The British Retail Consortium said spending at major stores in October was 1.6% higher than a year earlier, slowing from 2.2% in September and representing a big fall in the volume of purchases once inflation was taken into account.

“Christmas will come later than last year for many and there may be more gloom than glitter as families focus on making ends meet, particularly as mortgage payments rise,” BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said.

British consumer price inflation returned to a 40-year high of 10.1% in September and the Bank of England last week forecast it would peak at around 11% during the current quarter.
