Daily Morning Note – 7 Oct 2020
PHILLIP SUMMARY
Asian equities looked set to follow U.S. stocks lower after President Donald Trump said he is ending stimulus talks until after next month’s election. Treasuries gained. Futures in Japan declined and the S&P 500 fell over 1%. Trump’s comment came just hours after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell renewed his warning that the economy will stumble without additional support. Treasury yields fell and the dollar jumped against most of its major peers. Nasdaq futures slipped after a House panel proposed a series of far-reaching antitrust reforms to curb the power of U.S. technology giants including Amazon.com and Alphabet Inc. Australian shares dipped after Tuesday’s budget announcement while the country’s 3-year bond yield dropped to an all-time low on plans to issue less debt than estimated.
