Daily Outlook GLOBAL MARKETS & ECONOMIES | WEEKLY ECONOMIC INDICATORS | CURRENCIES | PRECIOUS METAL | O I L |

GLOBAL ECONOMIES

The Canadian economy continued to expand in July and August, clawing back from a steep drop due to the coronavirus pandemic, though the pace of growth slowed through the summer, Statistics Canada data and estimates showed on Wednesday.

The Canadian economy grew 3 percent over a month earlier in July 2020, following a 6.5 percent expansion in the previous month and matching market expectations.

The current environment of lower inflation needs to be reflected in the central bank's inflation aim, as the concerns policymakers face are different from those in previous years, ECB President Christine Lagarde said at a press conference on September 30th.

European stocks erased earlier losses on Wednesday but were still heading for a monthly drop for the first time since a dramatic stock market crash back in March.

The British economy contracted 21.5 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2020, slightly less than initial estimates of a 21.7 percent drop.

Contracts to buy U.S. previously owned homes surged to a record high in August, suggesting housing market activity was gathering speed amid record-low mortgage rates.

Corporate profits in the United States tumbled by 10.7 percent to an over four-year low of USD 1.59 trillion in the second quarter of 2020, compared to an initial estimate of an 11.8 percent decline.

The US economy shrank by an annualized 31.4 percent in the second quarter of 2020, slightly lower than a 31.7 percent plunge in the second estimate and a 32.9 percent fall in the advance one.

GLOBAL MARKETS

Global equity markets rose and safe-haven assets including the dollar were mixed on Wednesday as investors weighed a rising number of COVID-19 cases and a chaotic U.S. presidential debate against better-than-expected U.S. private jobs data on the last day of a turbulent quarter.

MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.43% following modest gains in Europe and mixed trading in Asia.

Oil dropped approximately 10% for the month, while gold’s 4.1% drop was its worst month since late 2016.

Benchmark 10-year notes fell 12/32 in price to yield 0.6824%, from 0.645% late on Tuesday.

FOREX

The dollar fell against most currencies in choppy trading on Wednesday, as risk sentiment improved on renewed hopes for another stimulus package that could help ease the economic pain of the coronavirus-induced recession. Overall, the dollar posted it worst quarter since September 2017, with a fall of about 3.5% as expectations for a swift recovery from the COVID-19 economic crash made investors exit safe havens and buy into riskier currencies. The greenback slid against the Japanese yen and weakened versus currencies associated with higher risk appetite such as the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars. U.S. House of Representative Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin met on Wednesday in a bid to broker a bipartisan deal on stalled COVID-19 relief legislation ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Shares on Wall Street rose, while U.S. Treasury prices fell as risk aversion eased. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell late on Wednesday poured cold water though on some of that optimism. He said Republicans and Democrats are still very far apart on how much to spend on another coronavirus relief package. The dollar index last traded little changed at 93.89. The index hit a two-month high last Friday. Tuesday’s highly contentious debate between U.S. President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden boosted the dollar earlier, as it reinforced concerns that the outcome of the Nov. 3 presidential election could be contested. Trump and Biden battled fiercely over the Republican incumbent’s record on the coronavirus pandemic, health care and the economy in a chaotic and ill-tempered first debate marked by the current president’s personal insults and repeated interruptions. The greenback earlier was also boosted by quarter-end and month-end portfolio rebalancing, analysts said. Demand for dollars tends to rise at the end of quarters as portfolio rebalancing and fund transfers require currencies like the euro and sterling to be converted to dollars.

Another piece of data, however, showed U.S. gross domestic product plunged at a 31.4% annualized rate in the second quarter, the steepest drop since the government started keeping records in 1947. The dollar fell 0.2% against the yen to 105.49. The Australian dollar rose 0.5% against the greenback to US$0.7163. The New Zealand dollar gained 0.4% to US$0.6611 . Against the Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar fell 0.6% C$1.3312. The euro was down 0.2% against the dollar at $1.1717.

GOLD

Gold edged down on Wednesday, as a chaotic first U.S. presidential debate drove investors to the safety of the dollar and raised concerns over the next stimulus bill, leading the metal towards its worst month in nearly four years. Spot gold was 0.3% lower at $1,892.33 per ounce by 2:17 pm EDT (1817 GMT) and down about 4% in September, on track for its worst monthly performance since Nov. 2016. U.S. gold futures settled down 0.4% at $1,895.50. The first U.S. presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden turned investors cautious and drove them to seek refuge in the dollar, reducing gold’s appeal for other currency holders. The dollar index was set for its best month since July 2019. Despite the recent pullback, most analysts see an upward trajectory for gold in the medium to long term. The metal is on track for its eighth straight quarterly gain. Silver fell 3% to $23.55 per ounce and platinum rose 1.3% to $895.99. Silver was on track for its worst month since September 2011, down about 17% so far this month, while platinum was set for its biggest fall since March, declining over 3%. Palladium was steady at $2,309.20.

OIL

Global benchmark Brent crude pared losses Wednesday and the U.S. crude price rose on hopes that a U.S. economic stimulus deal would support the market, even as concerns about the coronavirus pandemic continued to loom over demand forecasts. U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin both expressed hope for a breakthrough on coronavirus relief, as the House stood poised to vote on a new $2.2 trillion Democratic coronavirus bill. With pressure mounting ahead of the Nov. 3 election, Mnuchin said he thought he and Pelosi could “reach a reasonable compromise” and would know in the next day or two whether they had an “overall understanding.” Progress on the stimulus brought Brent crude for November delivery up from its session low of $40.30 a barrel. It ended the session down 8 cents at $40.95 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate rose 93 cents, or 2.4% to $40.22 a barrel. The November Brent contract expires on Wednesday, to be replaced by the December contract, which settled up 74 cents at $42.30 a barrel. Also supporting prices, U.S. weekly crude inventory data showed stockpiles fell by 2 million barrels in the week to Sept. 25, a deeper draw than analysts had expected. Exports rose while imports fell, helping facilitate the drawdown. Net U.S. crude imports fell last week by 536,000 barrels per day, EIA said, to 1.6 million bpd. The benchmarks fell more than 3% on Tuesday as global COVID-19 cases passed 1 million, having doubled in three months.. A Reuters monthly oil poll showed prices would have little upside this year. CEOs of the world’s biggest trading companies are forecasting a weak recovery for oil demand and little movement in prices, potentially for years. Marathon Petroleum Corp, the largest oil refiner in the United States, started imposing job cuts on Tuesday, according to people familiar with the matter. Royal Dutch Shell also said it would cut up to 9,000 jobs. To counter the fall in demand, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is unlikely to increase oil production as planned from January next year, top oil traders said on Tuesday.
