Volatility in global markets continued into the last trading week of October, however, so far November has started on a green note across the key trading regions. Investors started buying again given Fed maintained the US cash rate for another term, eurozone inflation data came in at a 2-year low for October, and Australian quarterly company results showed resilience across some sectors.
