Major U.S. stock-indexes slightly fell. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average pared early gains and were little changed on Monday as investors looked for more clarity on President-elect Donald Trump's policies. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was lower, adding to last week's losses. The Dow, which capped off its best week in five years on Friday, hit a another record-high just after the start of trading. Since Trump's triumph last Tuesday, investors have been betting on his campaign promises to simplify regulation in the health and financial sectors and boost spending on infrastructure.
Most of Dow stocks in negative area (19 of 30). Top gainer - UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH, +3.61%). Top loser - Visa Inc. (V, -4.59%).
Most of S&P sectors also in negative area. Top gainer - Conglomerates (+1.7%). Top loser - Technology (-1.3%).

Polish equity market closed lower on Monday. The broad market benchmark, the WIG Index, plunged by 1.87%. The WIG sub-sector indices were mainly lower with chemicals (-3.3%) lagging behind.
The large-cap companies' measure, the WIG30 Index, fell by 2.62%. Thermal coal producer BOGDANKA (WSE: LWB) was sole gainer within the index constituents, edging up 0.01%. At the same time, FMCG-wholesaler EUROCASH (WSE: EUR) and chemical producer GRUPA AZOTY (WSE: ATT) suffered the steepest drops, down 6.88% and 5.48% respectively. Other major underperformers were footwear retailer CCC (WSE: CCC), oil and gas producer PGNIG (WSE: PGN), chemical producer SYNTHOS (WSE: SNS), agricultural producer KERNEL (WSE: KER), and two gencos PGE (WSE: PGE) and ENERGA (WSE: ENG), which lost between 3.88% and 4.72%.
Crude oil futures continued to collapse Monday morning amid a stronger dollar and after the IEA warned about a worsening supply glut, according to rttnews.
Meanwhile, OPEC's Monthly Oil Market Report revealed daily oil production for the cartel of 33.64 million barrels for October.
That's up by 240,000 bpd from September.
Elsewhere, the IEA predicted a 500,000-barrel increase in oil production outside the cartel for 2017.
WTI light sweet crude oil was down 72 cents at $42.70 a barrel, its lowest since mid-summer.
Gold price was trading down Monday in London, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election, says Dow Jones.
The Wall Street Journal Dollar Index, which weighs the dollar against a basket of other currencies, was up 0.8%. A stronger dollar is bearish for gold, which is priced in the greenback.
"Gold is still facing considerable headwind: the U.S. dollar is continuing to appreciate," said analysts at Commerzbank.
The prospect of the U.S. Federal Reserve hiking interest rates in December is also pressuring investor sentiment in gold, which doesn't bear interest so struggles to compete when rates rise.
Traders in the market for Fed-funds futures, derivatives used to bet on the timing of Fed interest-rate decisions, reflect an 81% probability of a rate rise by December, according to CME Group.
Among other precious metals, silver fell 0.9% to $17.23 an ounce, platinum shed 0.3% to $940.60 an ounce, and palladium fell 1.5% to $674.20 an ounce.
The week on the Warsaw market did not start well. The trading for a few hours is not able to pick up from the session lows. Adding to this the style of today's descent (width, rotation, scale) it does not look good. In the initial phase of the session we were not able to take advantage of the relatively positive sentiment on core markets and in particular the surprisingly positive start of trading in Europe, which was inspired by a better behavior of the US contracts. Entry into afternoon phase of trading in Europe was held under the sign of far more modest than previously growth, and at the same time leaving the level of resistance, visible especially in Germany and France.
The market in the US opens with increase, but the beginning looks neutral on the background of recent observed volatility.
An hour before the end of today's trading the WIG20 index was at the level of 1,759 points (-2.06%).
"While little is known about scope of Trumps future policies yet, the direction is known. Markets diverged - but not permanently. Trump is NOT Reagan, and Yellen is NOT Volcker, hence the implications for the USD and rates are different going forward...
Trump managed to cause significant divergences in Markets last week: despite the base commodity prices, inflation breakevens, equity prices shooting up, the USD outperformed broadly. Will Trump make the USD great again?
While everyone focused on inflation expectations rising, the main cause of the USD strength was the rise in the USD real rates. The Market went from expecting just one Fed hike within a year to almost two hikes. The longer maturity Treasury real yields rose, e.g. the 10Y real yield came up 16bps in just a week! Hence, the broad USD strength.
But is there a justification for higher USD real yields? So far, the impression from the media has been that Trump will be another Republican Reagan who will produce an "economic miracle" by introducing supply side policies, and he will replace Yellen with Taylor or another central banker who will hike rates...maybe like Volcker did in 80s? A big myth hanging around is that Republicans in general are better for the USD ("strong USD is in the US best interests"). Well, they are not.
If there is one factor justifying higher real yields with "stronger USD and higher equity prices" is NOT which party holds presidency, but the rising US productivity. Have you seen the US productivity lately? Decade lows, and the recent capital investment patterns offer no hope for major improvement in years ahead. By contrast, during the Reagan years, and in the run-up to the dot-com bubble burst, where the US economy looked like a miracle, we indeed saw the USD stronger with rising equity prices, so a rise in real USD yields was justified. Is there a reason to believe Trump will achieve the same productivity burst again? Meh.
While little is known about exact polices, we may at least disentangle the policy shifts with Trump. Sketch a simple supply and demand framework. Depict the demand curve shifting to the right - as a realization of Trump's proposal of unfunded fiscal spending. Now, the supply side curve should shift to the right due to the proposed deregulation of financial sector, tax cuts. More growth! Not so fast.
The key difference between Reagan and Trump is that Reagan was pro-free trade and immigration. So what Trump may achieve domestically on the supply side, he may well kill with the foreign policy - anti-trade, anti-immigration measures. And given the power and realistic chances Trump has over changing the domestic supply factors quickly (killing Obamacare, Dodd-Frank…) over foreign (dismantling trade deals, imposing barriers), it does seem that the supply curve may eventually shift to the left, at least initially - i.e., less real growth, and potentially more inflation.
Will the fiscal extravagance cause the US growth miracle? Doubtful. What we may end up having with Trump is a flash-in-the-pan fiscal easing binge. But soon it will hit the wall, as will be met by circumstances, again, totally different than those of the starting point for Reagan: a larger twin deficit (need FOREIGN funding, including China), and the US public debt/GDP over three times larger. The US already got its sovereign downgrade back in 2011. Not sure Trump sees it as a way to make America great again.
Fed response? Yellen speaks on Capitol Hill this Thursday. For now, it seems Yellen will serve the full term until February 2018. Yellen is not Volcker, and it's not the roaring 80s in terms of growth and inflation. There is thus no reason for Fed to become more hawkish now. In fact, quite the opposite - domestic economic uncertainty largest since the US downgrade, and the monetary conditions have tightened after the US election, with the stronger USD and higher rates. So, if anything, more of the same in Markets will be met by Fed playing down, not up, expectations for tightening. This should be a natural killer of the market divergences we saw last week".

The pound retreated from session low against the US dollar, but still shows a decline. In the absence of new catalysts trading dynamics was dictate by risk appetite and sentiment. Later today, Theresa May will give a speach in which it must discuss the issue of trade relations between the United States and Britain. Later this week, investors will pay attention to the October inflation data from UK. Consumer prices in September grew at the fastest pace in almost two years, and most experts expect further acceleration of inflation due to the weakening of the pound after Brexit. Economists expect annual inflation to rise to 1.1% in Octobe vs 1% in September. In addition, markets will wait for the October data for the UK labor market, which in combination with data on retail sales is likely to move the pound significantly. According to forecasts, the unemployment rate remained at around 4.9%, while average earnings growth accelerated to 2.4% from 2.3%.
The dollar rose against the yen significantly by updating 7 of June high. Many experts believe that if the situation remains favorable in the markets it is unlikely that anything will prevent the Fed to raise rates in December. According to the futures market, now the likelihood of tighter monetary policy in December is 81.1% against 71.5% on Friday.

"The election, high court ruling and less dovish BoE have distracted investors playing GBP shorts.
There is some speculation that the Trump win can translate into a better political position for the UK vis-à-vis the EU, but the logic is not convincing. US-UK trade has not been an issue. Trade weighted rate differentials have moved against GBP since last week and should stay low without material local stimulus. The Autumn Statement in two weeks is significant in this regard, but doesn't look a catalyst. We think rates and FX vol stay supported while Brexit back-and-forth persists. The January Supreme Court ruling we suspect will not alleviate policy uncertainty. As much makes us hesitant to expect direct investment inflows yet.
We still favor shorts in GBPUSD".

The Warsaw market from the very beginning of the session grabs clear shortness of breath, unable to fully take advantage of a favorable environment, which is consolidating at key resistance of core markets indices. But this is not a surprise, the WSE fits clearly in the attitude of emerging markets where trade is taking increasingly lower levels. To the weakness of blue chips attached worse attitude of the broad market in the form of small and medium-sized companies. In addition, in Western Europe there was also deterioration in sentiment in the noon phase of trading, although increases there are still maintained. Locally, in the case of blue chips not much left from the post-election rally and at the level of the WIG20 index we are back to the area of lows from the beginning of November, when the market feared a victory of Trump.
At the halfway point of today's trading the WIG20 index was at the level 1,767 points (-1,67%), with the turnover of PLN 465 million.

Thus, the black gold is traded in the red zone on the background of an increase in production in the OPEC countries, as well as an increase in the number of drilling rigs in the United States. Recall Friday, the cartel said that in October, oil production was higher by nearly 240 thousand barrels per day as compared to September, up to 33.64 million barrels per day. On Thursday, November 10, the International Energy Agency (IEA) also stated that total production of oil increased 230 thousand barrels per day as compared to September, to a record high of 33.83 million barrels per day.
The overall index of producer and import prices rose in October 2016 from the previous month by 0.1 percent, reaching 99.8 points (base December 2015 = 100). While the producer price index fell by 0.1 percent, the import price index increased by 0.3 percent. The slight increase in the total amount is mainly due to higher prices of petroleum products. Compared to October 2015, the price level of the whole range of domestic and imported products fell by 0.2 percent. This is evident from the figures of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

The cash market started the day from a discount of 0.14% to 1,794 points, but quickly rises above, piercing even the psychological level of 1,800 points.
The beginning of the session on the Warsaw Stock Exchange is the answer to better performance of core markets, namely the maintenance of nearby peaks, which opens the way to the theoretically possible attack. The first violin again plays KGHM, reacting to Friday's turmoil in the copper market, which look like classic solstice. The market is very volatile and these fluctuations after the one day break must find a new balance.
After fifteen minutes of trading the WIG20 index was at the level of 1,799 points (+0,17%).
"We have been structurally bearish EUR/USD for a long time but scaled back our confidence levels this year as the Fed turned dovish and the ECB ran out of easing options. The Trump victory has changed things.
We now feel more confident that EUR/USD will break out of its 1.05-1.15 range and trade through parity next year.
First, it is high time EURUSD started to move again. The duration of the current lack of trend is approaching a record high (chart 1). When EURUSD last broke out of such a prolonged range corporate hedgers and asset allocators were caught off guard and the EUR moved 10% within the following few weeks.
Second, the dollar is approaching its sweet spot for a late-cycle rally. Big dollar moves are less dependent on the change in short-end yields but on the absolute level: whenever the dollar becomes a top-3 G10 high-yielder it rallies as yieldseeking inflows return. A Fed rate hike this December will make the dollar the third highest yielding currency in the world, a strong dollar positive (chart 2).
Finally, divergence is back. Even before Trump, the risks to US growth were tilted to the upside (chart 3). More fiscal and regulatory easing would add further upside risk to the growth and Fed outlook. Meantime European risks are tilted to the downside given a deteriorating credit impulse and political outlook (chart 4). The recent rise in European real rates increases the odds of a more dovish ECB.
Our EUR/USD forecasts remain at 1.05 and 95 cents for end-16 and end-17 respectively".

The Warsaw Stock Exchange into the new week comes with the need to catch up the one missing day of trading. On Friday, during our national holiday the global financial market worked and a lot on it happened. Investors are still trying to discount the possible changes associated with Donald Trump winning. The market is counting on increased spending financed by increased issuance of bonds while reducing taxes. As a result increase the bonds profitability, strengthens the dollar, and the assets of emerging markets have come under pressure. On Friday, the MSCI Emerging Markets index went down by 2.9% and broke the important support. It's not the best news for the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Morning mood is very positive. Contracts in the US gain of 0.6%, which should lead to positive openings in Europe.
In Asia, the Nikkei gaining only and the other emerging parquets are under pressure. Copper prices remain very volatile but the balance puts the price of metal near the close on Thursday, which means a relatively neutral impact on our market.
