Japan’s stimulus plans rippledacross global markets, pushingthe Dow Jones Industrial Averageto a record, sending the dollarnear a seven-year high againstthe Japanese yen and pulling U.S.government bond prices lower.

The Bank of Japan’s move onFriday is the latest shift in an in-vestment landscape already char-acterized by low interest ratesand an investor thirst for higher-yielding assets.

By boosting annual asset pur-chases by as much as a third, to¥80 trillion ($732 billion), theBank of Japan stands to bolsterglobal demand for stocks by driv-ing down bond yields, makingshares relatively more attractive.The European Central Bank in Oc-tober kicked off its own round ofbond buying in a bid to jolt lowinflation on the Continent, whilethe Federal Reserve on Wednes-day ended its bond-buying pro-gram amid steady improvementin job growth.

The expanding gap betweenthe U.S. and European and Japa-nese central-bank policies hassent money flooding into the U.S.in anticipation of higher returns.

“The world has grown ad-dicted to easing,” said Savita Sub-ramanian, chief U.S. stock strate-gist at Bank of America MerrillLynch. In a further boost, theJapanese government’s pensionfund said Friday that it would

Dow HitsA Record,Bonds FallIn U.S.

TOKYO—Japan’s central bankand its main government pen-sion fund said Friday they wouldpump trillions more yen into thecountry’s sputtering economy,taking a risky new stimulus tackthat jolted global markets.

Faced with fresh evidencethat Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’scampaign to end the country’slong bout with deflation was fal-tering, the two institutionssteered Japanese economic pol-icy into the uncharted territoryof extreme stimulus that ap-peared to go even beyond the of-ten radical measures taken byother advanced economies in re-cent years. The Bank of Japan’sboard was deeply divided overthe unprecedented measures.

The fresh injection of liquidityfrom Tokyo into global mar-kets—coming at a time when in-vestors have grown nervousabout the prospect of the U.S.Federal Reserve tightening itspolicy—led the Dow Jones Indus-trial Average and the S&P 500index to record closes on Friday.

In Tokyo, the Nikkei Stock Av-erage jumped nearly 5% onheavy volume, bringing the in-dex to its highest level since late2007, while the yen fell to itslowest value against the dollarin almost seven years. Investorssaid the Japanese move put newpressure on central banks fromSouth Korea to Europe to followsuit with their own increasedstimulus.

Officials said the central bankand pension moves weren’t coor-dinated, but they shared the goalof pushing the reset button forglobal investors who have

soured on Abenomics in recentmonths. “In our view, it is no co-incidence,” said Naohiko Baba,chief Japan economist at Gold-man Sachs.

“All the available measures ofAbenomics were mobilized to-

day,” said Deutsche Bank strate-gist Taisuke Tanaka.

After months of saying its bigeasing campaign unleashed lastyear would be sufficient to liftJapan’s economy, the Bank of Ja-pan announced Friday it would

expand its asset-buying programby as much as 33% and buy notjust more government bonds,but also stocks and real-estate

LongBattleForSenateHingesOnEightRaces Kent Brantly suffered a deep loneliness. He

spent days in bed, afraid and in pain. Overworkeddoctors came and went, but he could only see theireyes through the moonsuits they wore as a shieldagainst the Ebola virus draining away his life.

“I needed help to go to the bathroom, I neededwater to drink,” said Dr. Brantly, who got sick inMonrovia, Liberia. “I was scared and there was no-body there.”

Missionary Nancy Writebol deals with a differ-ent isolation more than two months after her dis-charge from the hospital, now free of Ebola. Notsure whether people want to shake her hand, shewaits. “You have some people that just totallywrap their arms around you, and shake yourhand,” she said. “And then you have other peoplethat stand 10 feet away.”

‘I MAY DIE RIGHT HERE’

EbolaSurvivors’Painful, Lonely Journeys

Control of the Senate nextyear, a months-long battle cost-ing $423 million in TV ads alone,is coming down to races in eightstates that remain too close tocall and, in some cases, appearto be tightening.

The overall climate continuesto favor Republicans, who enterthe final weekend before Elec-tion Day with multiple routes topick up the six seats they needto claim the Senate majority.And yet, Democrats still seeways to retain it, despite contin-ued headwinds. Neither party’scandidates are pulling away tosafe leads in the most competi-tive contests.

In last-minute moves, Repub-licans are pouring more admoney into New Hampshire,where polling suggests thatDemocratic Sen. Jeanne Sha-heen’s lead has narrowed. Demo-crats and some GOP groups sayAlaska’s hard-to-poll contest re-mains tight. A win there wouldgive Democrats an unexpectedassist in holding their Senatemajority.

These down-to-the-wire con-tests inject added uncertaintyinto the final days of the mid-term campaigns as both sidesscramble to turn out the vote.The narrow margins in manyraces leave open the possibilityof everything from a big GOPwin to continued Democraticcontrol.

With so many races close—and contests in Louisiana andGeorgia possibly moving to around of runoff voting in Decem-ber or January—the balance ofpower may not be known on

NEW YORK—If Deena Kastorknew why the first stitch of her il-lustrious career struck atmile 10 of a half marathonin Philadelphia this Sep-tember—ending her hopesof winning that race—then she could probablyensure that it wouldn’t re-cur in the TCS New YorkCity Marathon on Sunday.

But the Olympic bronzemedalist, who holds theU.S. record in thewomen’s marathon, wasleft guessing. “It may havebeen the humidity,” shesaid in an interview twodays after the Philadel-phia race.

The stitch, an exercise-induced pain in the side,is a medical mystery. Many physi-cians call it a spasm of the dia-phragm. Others say it is akin to

the headache—a symptom with amultitude of potential causes. Theworld’s perhaps most-publishedauthority on the stitch, Australian

scientist Darren Morton,disputes both theories,calling it an irritation ofthe parietal peritoneum,the outer lining of the ab-domen.

Whatever it is, Dr.Morton’s research showsthat the stitch afflictsabout one in five partici-pants in a typical distancerace. That suggests thatabout 9,000 runners inSunday’s New York mara-thon will experience asharp pain in their side.For some it will be debili-tating, reducing them to awalk. For others it will bea pace-slowing nuisance.

For many, it will nix any hope ofachieving the dream of a negative
