Daily Morning Note – 6 Oct 2020
PHILLIP SUMMARY
Asian stocks looked set to follow their U.S. peers higher amid optimism over President Donald Trump leaving hospital and that lawmakers will move closer to providing more stimulus. Treasury yields jumped and the dollar weakened. Futures pointed to modest gains in Japan, Australia and Hong Kong. S&P 500 contracts were little changed after U.S. stocks closed at the highest levels of the day, rebounding from Friday’s swoon in the wake of Trump’s coronavirus disclosure. Energy, health care and technology shares were the biggest gainers, pushing the benchmark index up by the most in almost four weeks. The longest-maturity Treasury yield surged to a three-month high as traders adjusted their election bets after Joe Biden’s latest poll numbers.
