Trump leads US indices to all-time highs
The week was marked by the US election, the meetings (with no surprises) from the Fed and BoS and Friday’s disappointment due to the lack of fiscal stimuli in China. US indices managed to hit new record highs, while in Europe peripheral indices fell sharply over the week. In the STOXX 600, sectors like Autos, Chemicals and Utilities led the losses, with the biggest gains coming in Travel & Leisure, Financial Services and Media. On the macro side, in the US November’s U Michigan consumer confidence rose more than expected (73 vs. 71 expected). In China, the NPC (National People’s Congress) announced it has authorised local governments the possibility of issuing up to US$ 1.4 Tn of debt (between newly-issued bonds and to exchange hidden debt), which disappointed the market, as no new available money was announced, nor more direct stimuli, although the Govt. left the door open to more announcements in the future. In US business results, NRG came in below expectations and Paramount surprisingly beat expectations. Separately, October’s inflation fell more than expected, as did production prices.
What we expect for today
Stock markets would open with gains of around +0.5%, with some improvement in cyclicals, but with bond proxies hit by the rising debt yields. Currently, S&P futures are up +0.23% (the S&P 500 ended unchanged vs. the European closing bell). Asian markets are mixed (China’s CSI 300 +0.13%, Japan’s Nikkei -0.12%).
Today in Mexico we will learn September’s industrial output. In US business results, Live Nation, among others, will release its earnings.
