Expect Volatility up to the Elections

Markets are likely to remain choppy as the clock runs down to the impending US elections.

Stocks took a breather, but precious metals took a dive. Just when everything seemed ready for more USD weakness, the USD came back strongly inexplicably. Markets are likely to remain choppy as the clock runs down to the impending US elections.

Stay patient but remain vigilant.

Key risks — Worries of the health of POTUS are ebbing but stimulus hopes, US yields and the strength of the USD remain as key drivers of risk sentiment.

BRITAIN’S BIGGEST FUND MANAGER EXPANDS ENGAGEMENT ON CLIMATE

Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), part of insurer Legal & General LGEN.L, said it would increase the number of companies covered by its Climate Impact Pledge — a targeted engagement plan — to 1,000 from 100.

The group, which manages more than 1.2 trillion pounds ($1.55 trillion) in assets, said it would also make its climate ratings for companies available on its website.

Under the original pledge introduced in 2016, LGIM committed to engage with the largest companies across six sectors in which action was seen as crucial to help to meet the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change.

As part of its engagement with companies in the oil and gas, mining, electric utilities, automotive, food retail and financials sectors, LGIM said it would publish the names of the laggards, vote against their boards at the companies’ annual general meetings and potentially divest their shares from certain funds.

U.S. SUPREME COURT ALLOWS TRUMP TO WIND DOWN CENSUS EARLY

U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to wind down population counting for the 2020 U.S. census earlier than originally planned, in a blow to civil rights groups concerned about an undercount, particularly of racial minorities.

Critics have said that the Republican president, who is seeking re-election next month, has sought to engineer an undercount in Democratic-leaning areas with high immigrant and Latino populations.

The census count’s accuracy is critical, as it determines how the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislatures draw voting districts during the next round of redistricting and guides the federal government in allocating $1.5 trillion a year in aid.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the only justice who publicly dissented, said the Supreme Court’s action would allow the Census Bureau to “sacrifice accuracy for expediency.”

TRUMP’S SUPREME COURT NOMINEE SAYS HER RELIGIOUS VIEWS WOULD NOT GUIDE DECISIONS

Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on Tuesday began the first of two days of direct questioning from U.S. senators, telling senators that her religious views would not affect her decisions on the bench.

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing presents Barrett with a chance to respond to Democratic lawmakers who have been unified in opposing her primarily on what they say would be her role in undermining the Obamacare healthcare law and its protection for patients with pre-existing conditions.

Barrett could be on the Supreme Court in time for the Nov. 10 arguments in a case in which Trump and Republican-led states are seeking to invalidate the 2010 Affordable Care Act, Democratic former President Barack Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement that has enabled millions of Americans to obtain medical coverage.

There are no notable prints for the day ahead. Risk will continue to be driven by stimulus saga, political drama and virus headlines.
