CMC Markets, Darwinex, IronFX and Other Four Companies Are Hiring Now

Banks continued to bear the brunt of job cuts this week.
Royal Bank of Canada pushed ahead with a round of job cuts in its capital markets operations that may affect above 1,000 positions and are aimed at helping the bank deal with a challenging economic environment. Bank of Montreal is closing its indirect retail auto finance business and laying off an unknown number of jobs as the bank shifts focus to other areas.
The current state of banking is grim. Taking the Indian banking sector as an example, the country's banking liquidity deficit jumped to over a four-year high at Rs 1.46 lakh crore on September 20. According to a report, this is the highest single-day shortfall for India since April 23, 2019.
In addition, Sweden's central bank hiked interest rates for the eighth consecutive time on Thursday, taking the main rate to 4%, as the country continues to battle high inflation. Meanwhile, Turkey's central bank raised its key interest rate to 30%, aiming to turn around several years of skyrocketing inflation and a dramatically weakened currency.
