US Market Wrap
The risk-off market sentiment was supported by the latest flare-up between the US and China over the spread of the coronavirus. On Tuesday, the tensions between the two nations escalated when, at the Annual General Assembly of the United Nations, which was held in New York, US President Donald Trump blamed China for the spread of the coronavirus pandemic all over the world.
During his testimony, Fed Chair Jerome Powell faced many questions regarding the next round of stimulus measures. On Wednesday, Powell referred to the ongoing dispute between the Republicans and the Democrats over the size of the stimulus package, with just six weeks to go until Election Day. However, lawmakers were not satisfied and kept asking about the Fed’s role in helping small businesses beyond the scope of the Fed’s current emergency lending program.
The Data Agenda
On the fundamental side of the market, all eyes will remain on the SNB Monetary Policy Assessment and the SNB Policy Rate, which are not expected to drive any major market movement. During the US session, the Unemployment Claims and Fed Chair Powell’s testimony are expected to drive further market movement.
