What's happening in the markets today?

Tuesday, 7th October 2008 by Catherine Woods

Lordy, lordy... it's been another turbulent day in the financial markets

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s FTSE 100 meltdown, we’ve had…

…bank stocks falling faster than a poncy Sir Alan Sugar wannabe on The Apprentice…

…the International Monetary Fund demanding a global solution to the financial crisis

…the Icelandic government saving Landesbank – the country’s second-largest bank, which offers the IceSave savings product that’s so popular with British savers.

…desperate calls for an interest rate cut in the wake of the crisis and more worrying manufacturing figures.

Shall we start a book on what's going to be in the next batch of bad news?
