In a move which began last week it seems that investors around the world are concerned that the tail end of the credit crunch is set to wreak yet more havoc on economies. After what seemed like the calm before the storm, the last few days have seen heavy sell-offs in the Far East, the US and the UK with some observers set for another rocky week next week.
One of the main factors behind the recent sell-off seems to have been the ongoing rise in the price of oil which is now hovering around the $142 a barrel level.
