style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Traders gear up for an all-nighter as US elections loom:<\/strong> Wall Street is bracing for a long, volatile night as traders prepare for the results of the US presidential election today, with trading desks in Hong Kong and Singapore ready to support overnight activities. As one portfolio manager put it, \u201c5 November is going to be a blindfolded mud-wrestle in a minefield,\u201d pointing out the uncertainty revolving around the elections this time around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Everybody is preparing for the big night:<\/strong> Major banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are staffing up to ensure their trading desks are ready to handle high volumes and volatility throughout the election night. \u201cWe will stay as long as we need \u2014 if that\u2019s 2 am, it\u2019s 2 am. If we have to sleep over, we will,\u201d said Glen Capelo of Mischler Financial Group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Focus on bonds and currencies:<\/strong> The ICE BofA Move index \u2014 a key measure of expected volatility in the US bond market \u2014 surged by 40% last month, while the CME index of implied volatility across major currencies hit its highest level since early 2023. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What happens if who wins?<\/strong> Traders have been putting their money on former president Donald Trump winning for weeks, pushing up stocks, currencies, and crypto, all while bond yields were on the rise. After a poll showed that the Democratic Party\u2019s Kamala Harris has a lead over Trump in Iowa, the Bloomberg USD Index dropped to its lowest since August, yields on 10-year Treasuries fell, and BTC slipped. Traders are eyeing the return of popular \u201cTrump trades\u201d \u2014 going long on the USD and short on bonds \u2014 with plans to either capitalize on or swiftly unwind these positions, depending on how the results go. But if Harris pulls the rug from under Trump\u2019s feet, Trump trades could reverse, leaving behind dramatic swings in the market overnight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Lessons from the past:<\/strong> Traders are revisiting the 2016 elections, when markets initially misread the results of the polls, pushing US futures to swing widely. This time, hedge funds are scaling back risks and preparing for any unexpected moves. \u201cEquity markets collapsed after Trump was elected [in 2016], but that lasted a day, then they rallied,\u201d noted Ed Al Hussainy of Columbia Threadneedle Investments. Traders are adopting a neutral stance to shore up their liquidity. \u201cWe\u2019ve spent a lot of time cleaning up our inventory and our own positions in order to be as neutral as possible to approach the event from the perspective of providing that intermediation,\u201d Citi\u2019s Vikram Prasad said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It's not just the Oval Office that matters<\/strong>, as market reactions also hinge on Congressional outcomes. A Republican sweep could trigger inflation and higher bond yields, as Trump\u2019s plans to cut tax and import tariffs could very much reverse the course on inflation and increase US national debt, while a divided Congress may limit policy shifts, offering some balance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ongoing market volatility could extend beyond today<\/strong>, as Wall Street braces for potentially delayed or contested election results. Such scenarios could lead to a prolonged market uncertainty, making it difficult for traders to navigate. There\u2019s also the Federal Reserve\u2019s upcoming rate decision on Thursday, where a second consecutive rate cut is widely expected, with one survey showing that 98% of traders are banking on a 25 bps cut by the end of this week. The Fed\u2019s decision will play a key role in shaping post-election market dynamics, as traders balance election outcomes with potential shifts in monetary policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Market reax:<\/strong> It was a sea of red across US markets with the Dow Jones ending the first trading day of the week down 0.6%, the S&amp;P 500 dipping 0.3%, and the Nasdaq falling 0.3%. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The story is all over international press<\/strong>: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2024-11-03\/how-traders-are-preparing-to-watch-2024-election-night-results?srnd=homepage-middle-east&amp;embedded-checkout=true\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/8fce4fc5-c2e7-474a-9053-55c749aca88a\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">FT<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/11\/03\/stock-market-today-live-updates.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed at dispatch time<\/strong> as investors sit awaiting the results of the US presidential election and the Federal Reserve\u2019s decision when it meets later this week.
