Dollar Weakened As Biden Presidency Looks Imminent

STATE OF THE MARKETS

Markets optimism continues as Biden Presidency looks imminent. Democrat President and a split congress dimmed the prospect of higher corporate taxes, hence higher equities market, lower bond prices and higher yields. However, as markets closed, more bonds are being purchased, over $153b in the futures market, leading to lower yields. 10Y notes was down to 0.78% compared to 0.90% Wednesday.

Crude took a pause as rush of sell orders hit the book when investors fear the growing lockdown is going to dampened demand. A tie senate at this point calmed the markets, but shall Democrats took another lead of the 100 seats, further collapse is to be expected.

Greenback took a hit across the board, as investors see more stimulus coming but under divided senate that might not be the case; which saw options traders buying gold put striking at 1,730 to 1,150 expiring December 2020 and June 2021. Short and medium-term accounts returned to GBP on profit taking as BoE increased asset purchases more than expected and more Swiss buying on the medium term suggests that investors remain cautious on the outcome of the US election.
