UK unemployment rate sticks at 4.9% after Brexit vote, but wage growth slows – business live
Number of people out of work falls again, but average earnings grew more slowly over the summer * Unemployment rate remains at 4.9% * Concerns that real wages are falling * Jobless total falls by 39,000... * ...but claimant count is up by 2,400 * PwC: No Brexit impact yet 5.11pm BST OVER IN GREECE, AND THERE ARE FURTHER TENSIONS BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND ITS CREDITORS. Reuters reports: Greece will tell its creditors it cannot comply with labour reforms demanded by the International Monetary Fund as a condition of its support for the country’s third bailout, its labour minister told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday. The leftist government considers the IMF’s demand as a ban on the right of workers to negotiate wages and conditions on a collective basis. A breakdown with the IMF on the issue could jeopardise its financing of the 86 billion euro ($96 billion) bailout and could undermine overall confidence in the deal. “We want to reinstate collective bargaining because it’s the core of the European social model,” Katrougalos said. Under previous bailouts, collective bargaining has been weakened. Both the IMF and the EU say an inflexible labour force has helped to make Greece uncompetitive, contributing to its economic malaise. 4.15pm BST Still on oil Jasper Lawler, market analyst at CMC Markets, said: The price of oil erased early gains as traders resumed bearish bets on speculation that Libya will soon be in a position to begin exports again. The losses come after the American Petroleum Institute reported a build in weekly oil inventories. The price did have a brief rally after DOE data showed a surprise draw, but within half-an-hour of the data made new lows of the day. All indications are that the biggest drawdown in 17 years seen in last week’s inventory figures was an aberration. Continue reading...

The Latest: Greek racism probe over refugee lessons protest
Greek authorities will investigate whether a parents' association's strong objections to planned lessons for refugee children at a northern primary school constitute a breach of anti-racism laws. The government wants to integrate refugee and migrant children into the state education system. The European Union has given final approval for the launch of a new border and coast guard, paving the way for it to start work next month. Slovak Interior Minister Robert Kalinak said Wednesday that the new agency will help Europe confront the challenges to its passport-free travel zone known as the Schengen area. A pool of 1,500 border guards and technical equipment will be on standby to rapidly deploy to countries struggling with extraordinary migration flows. A Serbian government minister says the Balkan country should consider applying "more drastic" measures, including border barriers, to reduce the number of migrants entering the country. Hungary's anti-migration prime minister says the future of the European Union will be decided at Bulgaria's border with Turkey, not in Brussels, and is urging the EU to provide more money to Bulgaria to help boost its border defense. Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Bulgarian counterpart Boiko Borisov inspected a fence topped with razor wire in the Bulgarian border village of Lesovo on Wednesday, part of a route used by migrants trying to enter the EU. Borisov, who is seeking immediate assistance of 160 million euros ($180 million) from the EU to bolster Bulgaria's border security, said that "without joint efforts by all EU states, a lasting solution cannot be found." European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker says solidarity cannot be imposed on EU member countries amid vehement opposition in some states to his refugee quota scheme.
