Rising continues in the markets
As the ballot boxes opened in the US presidential elections, the hand turned to Joe Biden and the Asian and US futures indices were upward this morning, following the strong rises in Wall Street yesterday. S&P and Dow Jones futures are around 0.7 percent and Nasdaq futures up to 1.5 percent. Although no move is expected in global markets while watching the US elections, today the Fed and the Bank of England will announce their interest rate decisions. The Fed’s interest rate decision will arrive at 22:00, followed by Fed chair Powell holding a press conference.
Pluses over 1 percent in Asia
The MSCI index, which tracks the Asia-Pacific stock exchanges outside of Japan, rose by 1.3 percent, reaching the highest level it has seen since February 2018. Japan’s Nikkei index climbed 1.1 percent to the top of the last nine months, while South Korean stock markets rose 1.5 percent. China’s locomotive stock index rose 0.8 percent, gaining strength from the idea that the election of Biden could reduce the trade tensions with the White House.
