“Disappointment lurking”
According to Philip Marey, an economist at Rabobank, disappointment is lurking because there is still great uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election. He points out that it is also very important for Biden in a victory that he gets a majority in Congress. “Otherwise, Biden will be paralyzed for the next two years and the question is whether there will be a deal soon on new corona support. The difference with the Republicans about the size of the package is still very large. Next Friday’s American jobs report could provide more clarity about the current state of the economy. ”
Furthermore, the American interest rate decision is still on the agenda this week. Marey assumes that the Federal Reserve will remain on its hands for the time being. “There is no need for the Fed to act. Fed Chairman Powell will especially emphasize the importance of fiscal stimulus in the explanation. ”
The sharp rebound in prices largely reversed the downturn at the end of last month. Marey anticipates that the stock market climate will remain in the grip of the American elections. “If there is no clear outcome in the battle between Trump and Biden, a period of risk-off On. It could then possibly take weeks or even longer before a new president is known because Trump will certainly contest the result. ”
