Indonesia to check grocery shelves as deadline for halal labels nears
Indonesian authorities plan to inspect grocery store shelves to check compliance with a law requiring halal labels on food items from Friday, officials said, although some importers and restaurants face hurdles in complying. The world's biggest Muslim-majority country adopted a measure in 2014 requiring the labelling for restaurants and food products, setting an Oct. 17 deadline to ensure items are suitable for consumption under Islamic law. "They (some members) want to be part of Indonesia's strong market for halal products, but are still encountering complex supply chains and lack of clear guidelines," said Lydia Ruddy, managing director of the American Chamber of Commerce.

Return of Libyan exports weighs on European crude market
A resumption of Libyan crude output after a political crisis over the central bank slashed the OPEC member's exports to a four-year low, has led to a surplus in crude supplies in Europe, forcing competing sellers to cut their prices, trading sources and analysts say. Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced the restart of production on Oct. 3 after a new central bank governor was appointed. The timing of Libya's ramp up is coinciding with maintenance at European refiners with several plants in the Mediterranean and northwest Europe in full or partial shutdown.

Julius Baer CIO tells rich to brace for private market 'hangover phase'
Clients should be wary of the craze for private markets because the "hangover phase" facing a sector pumped up by low rates and high fees will leave it lagging the returns of public equities, the CIO at Swiss private bank Julius Baer said. Investors have poured money into areas including private credit, private equity and infrastructure to chase higher returns and diversify their portfolios. Increasingly, high net worth individuals are being targeted by asset managers who see them the next frontier, given some institutional investors such as pension funds have exhausted their capacity for "alternative assets".
