Marketplace Morning Report for Friday, October 17, 2014
It's the end of what has been a rocky week for investors—One of the worst in years. No markets were immune: commodities took a hit as oil prices continued to fall lower. Investors have been concerned about political upheaval about the spread of ebola. We take a look at the state of the global market. Plus, the midterm elections are just a few weeks away, and according to a new report from the Wesleyan Media Project, campaigns and committees have spent over $917 million dollars on ads. When all's said and done, it's expected they'll have spent a billion. This is a payday for local TV stations, but many politicians and political action committees are buying more and more ads on cable.
