Gold was steady Tuesday morning as traders waited for election results in the U.S.

December gold was up $1.80 at $1281 per ounce amid speculation Hillary Clinton will edge Donald Trump, the protectionist real estate celebrity.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has hinted that interest will be hiked in December. That's putting a cap on gold prices - rttnews says.

In recent trade, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury notes was at 1.823%, down slightly from 1.826% on Monday. Bond yields fall when prices rise.

The monthly estimates of GDP suggest that output grew by 0.4 per cent in the three months ending in September 2016 after growth of 0.5 per cent in the three months ending in August 2016. Our estimates suggest that economic growth slowed in 2016Q3 to 0.4 per cent, from 0.7 per cent in 2016Q2.

James Warren, Research Fellow at NIESR, said "Our estimates suggest that economic growth slowed in 2016Q3 to 0.4 per cent, from 0.7 per cent in 2016Q2. While retail sales have been buoyant in recent months, the production sector has acted as a drag on economic growth. We estimate that output from the production sector declined by 0.2 per cent in the third quarter of this year."

The number of job openings was little changed at 5.5 million on the last business day of September, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.

"What does seem clear from today's very positive reaction to a slender poll lead for Mrs Clinton, is that the market has been very nervous indeed in recent days. Trump is risk-off, Clinton is risk-on and markets will move whatever the result or more particularly, whatever the results in Florida and North Carolina.

Another consensus view (and one which I share) is that the Yuan has further to fall. Scepticism about the recent stronger data and concern about its reliance on excessive debtfinancing is a common theme but more than that, as long as the Chinese authorities can engineer a weaker currency, they will. Personally, I'm not sure that shorting CNH would ever be a favourite trade, but I'm left wanting to sell a post-election NZD and AUD rally, wanting to sell SGD, KRW and JPY under almost any circumstances.

My own favourite non-FX trade is to sell gilts regardless, my favourite FX trades are to be long the Euro on Trump, short the Yen on Clinton, and since Clinton's ahead, long USD/JPY is my best guess".

Municipalities issued $6.9 billion worth of building permits in September, down 7.0% from August. Quebec, British Columbia and Ontario recorded the largest declines. The overall decrease was attributable to lower construction intentions for non-residential buildings, led by commercial structures.

The value of non-residential building permits was down 22.3% to $2.2 billion in September, following two consecutive monthly advances. All three non-residential components-commercial, institutional and industrial-posted decreases, with commercial buildings registering the largest drop. Declines were recorded in every province, except Newfoundland and Labrador. The most notable decreases occurred in Ontario and Quebec.

The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 199,920 units in October compared to 199,262 in September, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.

"In October, housing starts remained stable, as the trend remained essentially unchanged from September," said Bob Dugan, CMHC Chief Economist. "While apartment starts are on a downward trend in British Columbia after reaching an all-time high at the beginning of the year, increased construction of single, semi-detached and row units in the rest of the country have helped offset the decline."

Polling stations in most of the Eastern United States will open at 12:00 GMT.

This morning, the New York futures for Brent rose slightly by 0.02% to $ 46.16 and WTI slightly dropped in price by 0.18% to $ 44.81 per barrel. Thus, the black gold is trading almost unchanged in anticipation of elections in the United States. Market participants consider Clinton as the candidate more predictable. Some positions Trump had on immigration and foreign policy issues are a concern for investors. At the same time, weak macroeconomic data from China put pressure on oil prices. China bought abroad 6.78 million barrels of oil in October, which is 12.9% less than in the previous month and the average daily volume this year.

This is the first quarterly estimate for Index of Production (IoP) covering data post-EU referendum. Quarterly estimate for production output decreased by 0.5% in Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2016. The largest downward pressure came from manufacturing, which fell by 0.9%, partially offset by a rise in mining and quarrying of 4.3%.

Quarterly IoP in Gross Domestic Product preliminary estimate for Quarter 3 (July to Sept) was revised from a fall of 0.4% to a fall of 0.5%, no impact on GDP to 1 decimal place.

"The near term direction in USD/JPY is at a cross road.

A Trump win (not our base case scenario) would put Fed hikes on the back burner and trigger a flight to safety with the JPY one of the biggest beneficiaries. This year USD/JPY has found solid support around the ¥100 mark, however under such scenario it will easily slice through this barrier. The surprise Brexit outcome saw USD/JPY trade from an intraday high of ¥106.84 to a low of ¥99.02 with the currency eventually settling 4 big figures lower relative to its previous day's close.

On a Trump victory, long term chart dynamics and recent price action suggest to us USD/JPY would likely settle around the ¥97/98 mark with an intraday low potentially a few big figures lower. Currency intervention under this scenario is also a consideration. Ahead of Brexit, Finance Minister Taro Aso warned that Japan was ready to intervene to prevent excessive yen strength, but in the event and despite the volatility and sharp currency appreciation on the day, there was no intervention. An excessive Yen appreciation will no doubt hinder Japan's already anaemic economic recovery, however unless we see a move closer to the low ¥90s, we think the MoF and BoJ will painfully sit on the sidelines.

Ten days ago - prior to the news of a fresh FBI/email probe, a Clinton win would have hauled up risk assets, sealed the deal for a December Fed hike, pushed 10y US Treasuries towards 2% and lifted USD/JPY comfortably above the ¥107 mark. With investigations into Clinton's legal affairs closed once more, then for now at least this scenario again looks conceivable".

The New Zealand dollar fell slightly in anticipation of this week's meeting of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Economists expect interest rate cuts. Leaders of the RBNZ made it clear that interest rates will be lowered in order to overcome the low inflation expectations and weaken the national currency. However, recent data suggest economic improvement in New Zealand. Some economists predict that the reduction in rates this week will be the last in this cycle expecting key interest rate at 1.75% from 2.00%.

A key event in the next few days will be the elections in the United States. Market participants predict Hillary Clinton victory in the presidential election and is widely perceived as a positive factor for market sentiment.

Recent public opinion polls indicate a steady but slight advantage over Trump is 3-6 percentage points. Wall Street Journal / NBC News poll published on Sunday, indicate the advantage of 4 percentage points in favor on Hillary. However, in recent weeks, Trump was closing the gap, and in the last hours both candidates continue to actively conduct election campaign.
