Markets grow on support hopes from G7 central banks
Demand for stocks and oil (signs of optimism) went hand in hand yesterday with the decline in US government bond yields and the poor performance of gold (signs of investor caution).
Probable prolonged confrontation between politicians in the coming weeks, leaving the central bank as the last line of defense for the economy.
The Federal Reserve will hold its meeting today, where investors hope to see the readiness of the regulator to help the economy if necessary. Investors assume that they will hear hints of easing in December, as in the case of the ECB.
Earlier this week, the Reserve Bank of Australia lowered the rate and expanded QE, today the Bank of Japan and Bank of England both announced expansion of their QE programs.
These actions by other central banks are helping the dollar not to look so weak, acting alone with the Fed's massive quantitative easing. At the same time, these measures work to reduce the value of money and support prices for other assets such as stocks and commodities.

Can the post-election rally be sustained?
Close to its best week since April, Futures for the S&P500 are up 6.8%, staying close to 3500, regaining the fall of the previous three weeks.
First, the results of the presidential election are yet to be finalised and are likely to be disputed.
Second, there is a real risk that a divided Congress will argue for too long about a new relief package.
Third, as the Fed noted at yesterday’s meeting that the economic recovery is losing momentum and we received confirmation of this earlier in the week. The ADP report noted that the private sector created only 365K last month and the Service Employment Index fell close to the ‘waterline’ at 50.1.
These reports are a dire warning before today’s NFP publication.

Markets cheer Biden’s victory with higher demand for risk
Futures on the S&P 500 remain moderately positive, returning to historical highs of around 3,600 and 12,500 respectively. At the same time, the dollar breaks through to lows in two and a half years.
The strength of the dollar is now in question for several reasons. Biden has promised to cancel most of Trump’s tax breaks. Primarily the Republican Congress is likely to block proposals for tax increases for corporations and wealthy Americans. However, there no new tax cuts in sight.
Another important issue is trade disputes. Markets are hopes for some de-escalation of international trade disputes, especially with China. And this reinforces the growth of the Chinese currency against the dollar. At the beginning of the new week, the dollar fell to 6.55 yuan, its lowest level since June 2018 after the steepest weekly growth since early 2019.

Vaccine-based market optimism risks quickly losing ground
Global markets soared on Monday after news of the successful results of the third phase of the joint Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine development. Futures on the S&P 500 and Dow Jones soared to new historic highs, but could not sustain them. The Nasdaq100 had an even heavier correction, as the initial spike in stocks included in this index very quickly turned into a sale.
The caution of senior politicians, from Boris Johnson and Joe Biden to Jerome Powell, also fueled caution on the markets.
In other words, it may well turn out that a short-squeeze caused yesterday’s jump in stocks more near the index highs than by material improvements and forecasts. This means that profit-taking sentiment may soon dominate and this is a very fragile state in which bad news can quickly turn into a full-scale selloff.

The strengthening of GBP accelerated on Tuesday due to unexpectedly strong labour market data. GBPUSD rose to 1.3270, and EURGBP fell below 0.8900.
Claimant Counts fell by 29,800 in October compared to an average growth forecast of 20,300. Average earnings for the three months to September were 1.3% higher than a year earlier (+1.9% ex bonuses).
The fresh data eliminated fears that last month's rise in coronavirus cases and the approaching partial lockdown could cause a sharp contraction in the labour market. Since the release, GBPUSD has added about one cent, bringing the five-day rally to 2.5% and sending it into the peak area of early September. It is worth noting that the pair has been too unstable above 1.33 for the last 18-months.
EURGBP also found itself in the area of local extremums, having dropped to the lows of 2H20.
In both cases, the British pound will have to pass an important test as to whether investors are ready to let it enter a new level.

The crude oil price still has plenty of room for growth
Oil is growing steadily this month and since the beginning of the week, it has climbed by 12.5% for WTI and 11.5% for Brent. Both popular oils have returned to their 2-month highs, although they opened November with a drop to their lowest prices since late May. A combination of positive factors reversed the short-term trend.
On the technical side, oil has made a significant breakthrough with a sharp move above the 50- and 200-day moving averages.
The nearest targets for the bulls on oil may be the August highs of $44 for WTI and $46 for Brent.

Markets’ altitude sickness returns the interest to the dollar
Dow Jones 30 and S&P 500, we see the same symptoms approaching the levels of 30,000 and 3600. Nasdaq 100 got its weakness near 12,000 and the German DAX30 at levels above 13,000, an important resistance area this year.
The foreign exchange market has been reacting all week to the risks of new restrictions, first by ignoring the optimism and now by the partial fixing of gains in stocks.
EURUSD fell from an area above 1.1900, where the pair was on Monday, to 1.1760.
The strengthening of the dollar yesterday shifted to the pound and the renminbi. However, today we see a much broader growth of the US dollar in the foreign exchange market, pulling down the New Zealand dollar from 19-month highs at 0.69 and the Australian dollar from levels above 0.73.

Inflation data for Germany and the USA published today highlighting the general trend (slowing) and the significant differences in the current state of the European and US economies.
In October, prices in Germany were -0.2% YoY and in the USA, +1.2%. A 5% weakening of the dollar index over the past 12 months seems helped the US to maintain a higher inflation level.
The inflationary picture in the eurozone requires more work from the ECB than the situation in the US requires from the Fed. From this comparison, monetary policy in Europe should be considerably more eased, putting pressure on EURUSD.
However, this approach acts on the premise of "all things being equal". In life, things are never equal. The Fed often acts more proactively, both in the softening of policy and the consideration of tightening. On the other hand, the wheel of the ECB has traditionally been spinning longer and with slower stops. So investors and traders should look at the bigger picture, which is somewhat complicated.

Markets are retreating from extremes, not daring to enter a new phase
We pointed out previously that this week, key stock indices have lost their growth momentum near local highs. On Thursday, a similar performance was cemented for the currency market as pairs rolled back from local extremums without daring to break through trading ranges.
EURUSD this week made another unsuccessful attempt to climb solidly above 1.1900 and to repeat the test of the psychologically important level 1.2000. The pair quickly dropped to 1.1750 and then returned to 1.1800. The dynamics signalled that it was too early for markets to move to a new stage. EURUSD decreased to 1.1600 in the second half of September and during October, so we could now see a repeat of this move.

GBPUSD failed to grow above 1.3300, falling back to 1.3130 by Friday morning. For GBPUSD, the first line of support could be the area 1.29 (lows of early November), and a deeper correction could send the pair to 1.27. There is a support area in September, a 200-day average and a 61.8% Fibonacci correction line from the March-September rally.
Outside Europe, AUDUSD declined after briefly touching levels above 0.73, potentially targeting a return to 0.7000.
