    Gold trading lower as US elections fears eased

    Gold futures fell Monday morning as markets were soothed by news that the FBI has cleared Hillary Clinton yet again.

    After taking another look at her email issue, the feds said they found nothing to charge her with any criminal wrongdoing.

    Clinton, the candidate favored by Wall Street, is expected to edge protectionist Donald Trump in the U.S. election tomorrow.

    Gold, which surged higher on its safe haven appeal last week as Trump narrowed the gap, is now in retreat.

    According to rttnews, on Sunday, Donald Trump warned that if a company leaves Minnesota, fire their workers, and move to another country, and then ship their products back into the United States, his administration will make them pay a 35 percent tax.

    Crude oil prices inched slightly higher

    Crude oil prices inched slightly higher Monday amid hopes the U.S. economy would continue to gradually improve if Hillary Clinton is elected president tomorrow.

    After being cleared again by the FBI in her email scandal, Clinton is expected to edge protectionist Donald Trump.

    Despite a stronger dollar, December crude oil was up 50 cents at $44.59 a barrel.

    OPEC's chief insists Russia, the world's biggest energy producer, is "on board" with the cartel's plan to limit crude oil production.

    Markets remain skeptical, as a number of key producers say they should be exempt. Iran is arguing they should be free to pump oil after years of crippling sanctions.

    Iran is set to sign an historic $6 billion deal with France's Total SA to help develop an offshore gas field, Marketwatch reports - rttnews says.

    WSE: Mid session comment

    Today's session runs for the time being under the sign of one piece of information, which appears before the start of trading and therefore has led to widespread gaps growth. Virtually all European markets are on the gain, increases in Western Europe exceed 1% and indices are traded on the session highs. Against this background, we may have some reservations with regard to the behavior of the WIG20, which rather revolves in the area of ​​session lows, however it still means more than 1%.

    Top behave today sectors familiar with previous good behavior, namely commodity producers and banks. Currently, the most important is the election in the US and the reaction of global markets on their outcome. When the cards will be fully lined on the table, then we may get a chance for a slightly larger directional movement in the markets. So far we have only measured with the prospect of increased volatility and nervous movements.

    At the halfway point of today's session, the WIG20 index was at the level of 1,777 points (+ 1.08%). The turnover among the largest companies was amounted close to PLN 200 million.

    ANZ says that a GBP/USD recovery towards 1.28/130 is feasible but hesitant to get bullish here

    "The High Court's decision that Parliament needs to support Article 50 before the government can trigger it is about the process of leaving the EU and in no way challenges the referendum's decision to leave. Should the Supreme Court uphold the High Court's decision, the government would have to bring in a new law, voted on in Parliament, to leave the EU. That could be subject to much debate over what Brexit will look like in both the House of Commons and House of Lords and it could delay PM Theresa May's plan to trigger Article 50 before the end of March 2017. Needless to say, if the Supreme Court overturns the High Court's decision, expectations of a hard Brexit will spring back.

    In the short term, therefore, the political situation is something of a vacuum and some scaling back of hard Brexit-related bearishness towards the sterling may be prudent over the coming weeks. Sterling's most recent slide started in early October as the Conservative Party conference got underway. Sterling was trading just below 1.30 vs USD back then, so a recovery towards a 1.28-1.30 range is feasible, and possibly more likely if the Supreme Court upholds the High Court's decision.

    ...We highlighted this view Outlook for November, arguing that a pause for breath in sterling's decline was warranted. That was premised largely on the view that the hard Brexit story was largely discounted based on available information and recent political rhetoric. We also anticipated that the BoE was likely to revise up its inflation forecasts in the November Inflation Report and that the case for additional easing in the near term was not there. What we did not know a couple of weeks ago was what the ruling of the High Court would be.

    Therefore, our expectation that sterling would trade in a 1.20- 1.25 range over the next six months or so might be vulnerable to a more sustained topside break driven by expectations of potentially greater balance returning to the Brexit debate. We therefore see upside risks to our current sterling forecasts of 1.25-1.30 vs USD in the coming months, but would be hesitant to get more bullish that that until the political and legal framework becomes clearer".

    Latest Eurozone Retail PMI data pointed to a further decrease in sales - Markit

    Latest Eurozone Retail PMI data pointed to a further decrease in sales in October, the fourth in the past five months. Although Germany saw ongoing sales growth, it was offset by further contractions in both France and Italy.

    October's headline Markit Eurozone Retail PMI - which tracks month-on-month changes in like-for-like retail sales in the bloc's biggest three economies combined - registered 48.6, down from 49.6 in September and its lowest reading since June.

    Sales also decreased on an annual basis at the start of the fourth quarter, with the rate of decline the second-fastest seen in over one-and-a-half years (second only to that observed in April).

    UK house price index rose in October

    • House prices in the three months to October were 5.2% higher than in the same three months of 2015

    • Prices in the last three months (AugustOctober) were 0.1% higher than in the preceding quarter

    Martin Ellis, Halifax housing economist, said: "House prices in the three months to October were largely unchanged compared with the previous quarter. The annual rate of growth continued on its recent downward trend, easing to 5.2%. "Activity levels, like house price growth, have softened compared with a year ago. Home sales, however, appear to have stabilised in recent months following the distortions earlier in the year due to the changes to stamp duty in April".

Beginning runs so the expected line of high-openings, which in the current uncertain environment, are not the best solution, because it may limit the subsequent volatility.


    All components of the WIG20 are on the green side, but the leader is KGHM, which grows more than 3%.In addition to the positive sentiment also helps the cooper factor.

    After fifteen minutes of trading the WIG20 index reached the level of 1,781 points (+1,33%).

    Behind us a good start of the Warsaw market and before the market more difficult work on maintaining and preferably further development of a nice beginning.

    What Goldman Sachs Trade into The US Elections

    "The Dollar has fallen sharply over the past week, as polls have tightened into the upcoming election. On a trade-weighted basis versus the majors, the greenback is down more than one percent, a number that understates the decline because the fall in oil prices has weighed on the Canadian Dollar, which has a large weight in our Dollar index.

    We show that recent Dollar weakness is associated with a meaningful pullback in market pricing for the Fed, with cumulative hikes through end-2017 falling to 32 bps as of Friday, down from 41 bps a week earlier. That said, the drop in the Dollar has gone beyond what rate differentials indicate, suggesting that a risk premium has formed even beyond expectations for Fed hikes.

    While near-term focus in the market is on potential further declines in the Dollar in the event of a Trump victory, the likelihood of a meaningful Dollar rise in a Clinton win scenario is rising. In particular, based on the make-up of the Dollar sell-off over the past 10 days, we think the greenback could recover the most ground against the Euro and the Yen.

    Although we are bearish on the Canadian Dollar, targeting 1.37 by year-end, we think it is better to steer clear of long $/CAD on a Clinton win, because there could be a material bounce in risk appetite that would drive oil prices higher, temporarily buoying CAD. Finally, RMB depreciation pressure is likely to mount again on a Clinton win, as the Dollar gains into the December FOMC, where our economists expect a hike with a large probability".

    WSE: Before opening

    We start the new week, which for the Warsaw market once again will be shortened by one day due to the Independence Day on Friday. Furthermore, the second week of the month is known that the macroeconomic calendar is relatively empty, and its beginning goes further under the influence of Friday's report from the US labor market. Now it will be a little different, because of the Tuesday's US presidential election, which for several days very clearly attracted the attention of investors and thus overshadowed Friday's data from the US. The very opening week runs anyway quite rapidly because of the new election topic in the form of information from the FBI that there will be an investigation into the emails Hillary Clinton. The head of the agency, which last Friday reopened the case last night said that after examining new evidence, there is no basis to bring charges to Clinton. It is of course positive for the Democrat candidate, leading to market the reaction in the form of gap openings. Strongly reinforces the Mexican peso, weakens the dollar and bonds, gain shares and contracts for US indices. Therefore the morning mood is already set and the growing gap in opening in Europe and on the WSE virtually assured.

    U.K. private sector growth picked up

    According to rttnews, the U.K. private sector growth picked up in the three months to October, the latest growth indicator from the Confederation of British Industry showed Sunday.

    The growth indicator rose to +8 percent from +3 percent in three months to September.

    Output continued to grow at a robust pace in manufacturing and distribution, while it remained flat in consumer services. Meanwhile, business and professional services logged only a marginal growth.

    A balance of +13 percent expect further increase in activity in the next three months, with predictions of healthy growth across all sectors.

    "Although growth will be robust for the remainder of this year, we expect uncertainty around the UK's relationship with the EU to dampen business investment in 2017, along with a rise in inflation which will knock household spending," Rain Newton-Smith, CBI chief economist, said.
