London shares looked set for the 8th successive day of big losses when the FTSE 100 index plunged 200 points or by 4% on the open to stand below 5,000 for the first time ever since July 2010. After the panic-driven slump, UK’s stock market regained some composure. This was turned around by hopes that the U.S. authorities will step in to rescue the largest economy in the world. However, it is speculated that the US Federal Reserve would announce a third round of money printing, or quantitative easing. It helped the blue-chip index obtain a comeback to close 96 points up on the day at 5,164.9.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened nearly 1% up after its 5% plunge, while the CAC 40 in France also have a 1% gain. On the other hand, Asian markets had suffered heavy falls after the FTSE 100 sank 178 points to a 13-month low due to panic selling.
