US Market View
The global rally in stocks on the back of Pfizer’s vaccine news ground to a halt, as markets took on board the near-term challenges of a still-potent coronavirus. European stock markets were already falling, even before the release of a surprise drop in Eurozone industrial production in October that underlined the impact of the second wave of Covid-19. Fed Chairman Powell, ECB President Christine Lagarde and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey will all address a virtual forum on central banking at 11:45 AM ET. Powell’s appearance will be the first since Joe Biden was declared President-elect last weekend, which may allow him to be less guarded about the policy outlook than he was at his press conference last week.
Lagarde, meanwhile, had told the same event on Wednesday that the ECB is likely to focus on its cheap long-term loan offerings and on its 1.35 trillion pandemic-related bond-buying program when its governing council meets again in December.
USA Key Point
- CHF is the strongest and the GBP is the weakest today
