By any measure, the pound is having a bad time. According to a trade-weighted index measuring sterling against a basket of its trading peers, the pound has now slumped to its lowest on record, stretching beyond the introduction of free-floating exchange rates in the 1970s and all the way back to the mid-19th century, according to data compiled by the Bank of England.

One Measure of Investor Worry Just Hit Its Highest Level Ever
Joseph Ciolli - Bloomberg
Anxiety may have been hard to locate in the U.S. equity market before yesterday. But that didn't mean it wasn't there. One measure of expected turbulence, the relative cost of options that pay when stocks decline versus those that appreciate when they rise, jumped to the highest level ever recorded just before the S&P 500 Index buckled on Tuesday. Call it the new normal for investors conditioned to expect the worst when it comes to politics, the economy and corporate earnings.

Mutual Funds Win Key Concessions on Liquidity Rules
Dave Michaels - WSJ
Mutual funds will soon face new regulations to reduce the risks of an investor exodus during a panic, though they have managed to win some concessions that will make the rules more flexible. The Securities and Exchange Commission is set to release the new rules Thursday, a key part of its plan to modernize supervision of the $15.7 trillion sector. The once staid business of pooling stocks and bonds has become more complex and risky, as funds adopt strategies that involve harder to sell securities, derivatives and leverage.

Brexit regret
The Economist
When Michael Gove, as justice secretary, was campaigning for Vote Leave ahead of the European Union referendum on June 23rd, he claimed that the people of Britain had "had enough of experts", referring to the long list of countries and organisations that had warned that Britain would be better off remaining in the EU. New analysis from the British Election Study, polling more than 10,000 voters, has found that Mr Gove was partially right, at least among his supporters. Those who voted to Leave typically preferred the wisdom of ordinary people to that of experts.

Politicians propose; markets dispose. Last week began with a statement by Theresa May, the UK prime minister, of her plans for Brexit. The foreign currency markets responded by writing down the value of UK assets. The UK is determined to "take back control" of its fate. But formal sovereignty is not power. The UK government announces its intentions. The reaction of others determines results.

Wells Fargo Still Needs to Admit Its Fundamental Error
Aaron Back - WSJ
Wells Fargo's famous stagecoach has been stuck in mud since its account-sales scandal broke last month. With the resignation of Chief Executive John Stumpf, the bank has a chance to get back on track. By replacing Mr. Stumpf with President and Chief Operating Officer Timothy Sloan, the bank appears to be striking the right balance between fresh thinking and reassuring continuity. Mr. Sloan is a Wells Fargo stalwart, having spent 29 years there. But Mr. Sloan has spent most of his career on the commercial side of the business, with little direct oversight over the troubled retail operations.

The performance of China's fixed income market has lagged other Asian countries this year. According to the S&P China Bond Index, the fixed income market delivered a YTD total return of 3.57% as of Oct. 11, 2016. China was one of the top three outperforming countries in the S&P Pan Asia Bond Index last year; the other two countries measured by the index, Indonesia and India, increased 17% and 9% YTD, respectively. Despite China opening up its bond market to offshore market participants, the country still underperformed, and in February there was a short rally following the Chinese Interbank Bond Market (CIMB) announcement, yet the gain was reversed in April.
