Abstract:Asian stocks rose and U.S. futures extended overnight gains amid optimism about progress on stimulus talks in Washington. The dollar dipped.
Asian stocks rose and U.S. futures extended overnight gains amid optimism about progress on stimulus talks in Washington. The dollar dipped.
In the latest developments, Pelosi said Tuesday she‘s hopeful for a stimulus agreement this week, which would be bigger, better and retroactive. Still, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has warned the White House against a bigger Pelosi-led deal before Nov. 3. The administration’s offer is now $1.88 trillion, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said on CNBC. Pelosi has pushed for $2.2 trillion along with a number of requirements for how the money should be deployed.
A rally built on stimulus hopes has investors weighing the chances of striking a deal against speculation that the looming election will prove too much of a hurdle to overcome. Yet with Federal Reserve policy makers urging for more fiscal support to complement unprecedented monetary aid, many in the market may be willing to let Pelosis deadline come and go.
“Equity markets are under some pressure following limited advances in stimulus talks,” Sebastien Galy, a senior macro strategist at Nordea Investment Funds SA, said in a note. “The odds of a deal being low, tells us much about the battle between hope and the reality of an economy still under severe shock but recovering.”
Amid a resurgence in coronavirus cases, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said the unexpectedly early pickup in infections is a “clear risk” to the economic outlook in the region. Europes leaders have intensified efforts to slow the contagion, reviving lockdowns in some areas after piecemeal curbs made little impact. New cases hit daily records in Germany and the Netherlands.
Henry McVey, head of global macro and asset allocation at KKR, says an increased antitrust crackdown on Big Tech poses a macro risk for markets and adds that investors have been pricing in a Joe Biden election victory.
