    Gold moderately higher

    Gold has risen in price moderately after the biggest drop recorded in the last week of November 2015. Support for precious metal had increased demand for safe-haven assets due to the uncertainty regarding the upcoming elections in the United States.

    Analysts say that the candidate of the Republican Party, Trump, at debate on Sunday was better than expected. However, according to preliminary surveys, the probability of Clinton's victory increased markedly. Heigh probability of Clinton's victory stabilizes markets, and on the other hand, when there is the probable victory of Trump's there is much more uncertainty about the future of American foreign policy, trade, economics, and even the Fed.

    In addition, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission said that last week hedge funds and money managers cut their net long positions in gold to a four-month low. However, the gold reserves of the largest investment fund SPDR Gold Trust rose on Friday to 11.3 tonnes, recording the highest daily gain since early July.

    The cost of the October futures for gold on the COMEX fell to $ 1260.1 per ounce.

    EUR: Taper Rumors Underpin EUR; Staying Bullish On Crosses - Credit Agricole

    "Market concerns that ECB may be closer to tapering QE than anticipated have been supporting the single currency on the crosses. Although the central bank's press agency denied such an idea, we do believe that it will become a bigger topic by the middle of next year.

    Nonetheless, it must still be noted that the ECB is unlikely to consider a change to interest rates anytime soon and such prospects are likely to ensure that the EUR does not face sustainable upside for now.

    From a broader basis we remain of the view that a gradual uptrend will continue unabated.

    In terms of data the focus will be on the final September CPI and the German ZEW economic sentiment survey. While final inflation data is unlikely to provide any surprises the ZEW faces some upside risks given its closer correlation with German stocks.

    We keep our long EUR/CAD position".

    CAD: Look For USD/CAD To Hit 1.35 Before 2016 Comes To A Close - CIBC

    "The recent uptick in Canada's international goods trade balance has helped paint a brighter picture of third quarter growth. But, much of that recovery is coming from a resumption of oil exports after the Alberta wildfires. Even after stripping out the effects of both the fires and weak oil prices, Canada's current account deficit as a percentage of GDP remains wide. It appears that the world is not enough for Canadian trade as weak global demand post-crisis continues to restrain non-energy exports.

    Looking ahead, with the Fed aiming to hike rates before year-end, demand for the portfolio flows financing Canada's current account deficit could wane, showing up in the form of a weaker loonie.

    Look for CAD to hit 1.35 before 2016 comes to a close".

    EU policymakers stand ready to deploy all measures at their disposal to defend growth

    According to Rttnews, stimulus measures adopted thus far has worked and the monetary policy transmission across the euro area has improved, yet policymakers stand ready to deploy all measures at their disposal to defend growth and bring inflation back to the 2 percent target, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said Friday.

    "Our very accommodative monetary policy stance provides the impetus that is necessary for the euro area recovery to strengthen and for inflation to gradually return to levels that we consider consistent with our objective," Draghi said in his statement presented at the International Monetary and Financial Committee meeting being held in Washington.

    "Looking forward, we will preserve the very substantial amount of monetary support that is necessary to secure a return of inflation rates towards levels that are below, but close to, 2% without undue delay. If warranted, we will act by using all the instruments available within our mandate."

    Despite the resilient Eurozone recovery, the prospects for euro area growth remain moderate mainly due to subdued foreign demand, the political and economic uncertainties and the sluggish implementation of structural reforms, he said.
