9:02 am
a busy day of reckoning especially on u.s. markets let's have a closer look the dow jones industrial average the most important index in the u.s. tumbled by one thousand one hundred seventy five points that's down four point six percent quite serious close down to twenty four thousand and three hundred forty five on monday that's eight percent down since last week to put this into perspective it's the biggest loss for six years and it marks the largest intraday point of decline of all time of one thousand five hundred and ninety seven points technology the nasdaq is also sharply down by three point seven percent a combination of factors is at play here wages in the u.s. have risen stronger than expected stoking fears of rising inflation that will drive interest rates up which makes it more expensive for companies to borrow money cheap money has been driving the rally of recent years also rising interest rates makes a facets like government bonds more attractive for investors so they move out of
9:03 am
stocks also automated trading orders are triggered when certain indicators fall to a preprogramed level and these sell of st the other sell orders it's it's a computer driven domino effect and it works within seconds and around the globe asian markets for example followed wall street's lead japan's nikkei index was down almost seven point one percent during the trading session stocks across all sectors was skidding in the wake of the new york crash comics like the oter financial stocks and technology companies will hit hard all other asian markets also took a beating in hong kong the hang seng index ended the day around four point four percent. so what goes up must eventually go down maybe donald trump would do well to remember that the next time he attributes stock market success to himself he could be cheered by some analysis saying that this sell of actually is healthy at this stage it's better the market is letting off some steam
9:04 am
now some analysts think instead of later when it could be much more damaging. good news for the economy turned out to be very bad news for stocks at the start of the trading week the latest data on u.s. wages show average hourly earnings up two point nine percent year on year the highest rate of growth brick ordered since the middle of twenty zero nine that's following years of stagnation but faster wage growth means employers have to spend more to recruit the workers they want higher pay could equal less profit for shareholders and traders fear possible interest rate hikes. but the market is reacting not so negatively because the economy is doing poorly but quite the contrary because the economy is doing so nicely and we might see some inflation pressure meaning the federal reserve and other central banks around the globe might also become more aggressive and that certainly could become a sea change that could we do not know yet
9:05 am
a sea change in central banks meaning sharply higher key lending rates and it growing understanding that loose monetary policy is supposed to be temporary but that's further along the road for now investors are looking more anxious to get the short term u.s. stock futures have slid further since wall street closed they're now down three percent. so the u.s. is down asia's following what about europe let's cross over to frankfurt to the stock exchange there were trading has just started down the. financial correspondent standing by that down there what can we expect in european markets today that condit it world markets will how they leave investors here on impress. yeah hi there god well actually let me have a look because of just a few seconds ago we got the first numbers here and we are down right now with three and a half percent here also at the frankfurt stock exchange this has already changed throughout the morning about three hours ago at six am when i came here to the
9:06 am
stock market the forecast was actually that we would be down with minus eight percent so even under the mark of twelve thousand points it seems that investors are kind of trying to realize the situation also saying that at the end it's not that bad that we don't have to fear a recession but still it's going to be very interesting how all of this is going to develop throughout the day. is this move market correction not healthy you know. what i had a chat about that a little bit earlier with one of the investors here at the trading floor and he told me that he was pretty sure that we would have seen sort of a correction happening of course we didn't know that it would be happening today or even yesterday but he was also telling me that the values of the stocks that we have seen during the last time was not even realistic so now with this sort of
9:07 am
correction that's how he was calling it he says that the values of companies in the in a better way and in a more realistic way now reflected also here at the trading floor. correction thank you very much for. germany the main political parties edging closer to a coalition deal to. go america's conservatives in the center left social democrats were moved to strike a deal by sunday but there are still far apart on several key issues leaders on both sides are pushing hard for an agreement to an end to months of political uncertainty. the end of the road might just be inside the head quarters of the santa leftist p.d. is where germany's political heavyweights a toughing it out in this last phase of coalition talks negotiators have been fine tuning the deal they hope will bring
9:08 am
a german government four months after the country's elections. does it and we agreed to choose day will be the decisive day we're in the final round and want to finish the negotiations tuesday will be decisive on whether the negotiations will be concluded successfully or not. but honest. health care reform has been a sticking point the social democrats want to end germany's two ts health insurance system a second obstacle is fixed term employment contracts which the s.p.d. wants to replace with permanent positions that provide greater job security the green party now in the opposition is vehemently opposed to the coalition agreement as it now stands. mood instead of the display of courage to address tasks of the future we're seeing a grand coalition that's concerning itself with minor issues even while the really critical challenge we're facing in europe aren't getting the attention they deserve . talks are said to continue one choose day even if an agreement is finally reached
9:09 am
the social democrats rank and file still need to sign off on the deal. well for more on the coalition go she's joined by our political correspondent hans but he's just outside the city headquarters here in berlin where those coalition talks are taking place today hans talks are meant to finish on sunday here we are on tuesday they are still dragging on how close are the parties to striking an agreement. well if you believe what the party leaders have been saying last night and this morning agreement is very close but at the same time there are at least these two sticking points that we just heard about health care reform and the question of to what extent temporary employment is allowed always going to be a lot in germany these two points are still very much on the table and they haven't agreed on that the leader of the social democratic party martin short's who just
9:10 am
entered the building behind me a minute or two ago say that these are issues of social justice which are very important especially for the social democrats and he is hoping that today these issues will be resolved the s.p.d. a demanding big changes to germany's health care system and they're asking for a reduction in fixed term employment contracts are the conservatives likely to go along with that. there has been some indication from the conservative side to sit on the health care that may be a possibility of some concession but i think the major sticking point really is this question of fixed term employment all the extent to which temporary employment is to be at all out in germany this is something which is obviously of very great importance especially to young people who are not able to plan their future if they only get contracts for a year or two at a time and the social democrats have put a lot of emphasis on that on the other hand the christian democrats according to
9:11 am
that server to have been agreeing with representatives of german industry who are saying that these kinds of conflicts are very important to make it a full fix ability in employment and that if they were to be limited this would damage the german economy so these points on which the two parties appear to be very far apart school at the moment and it's like you could take really all is possibly until well into the night to day for some agreement to be reached. the political correspondent hans blunt to thank you so much a second look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today southeast asia's foreign ministers are meeting in singapore taking center stage at discussions will be the creation of a smart cities system in order to build regional cooperation and help fight terrorism and transnational crime malaysia and singapore said they would set up
