On August 28th, it was learned that a U.S. federal judge lifted a nationwide injunction on August 26th against new rules for mail-in ballots issued by the U.S. Postal Service. The new rules required states to redesign ballot envelopes and upload voter lists to the Postal Service; if these requirements were not met, the Postal Service could refuse to mail the ballots. It is understood that the U.S. government had repeatedly proposed deploying federal law enforcement officers or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel near polling stations, and the Department of Justice was also preparing to deploy approximately 1,000 election watchdogs.

After dipping to roughly 6.7550 during the Asian session, the USD/CNH pair has risen. Despite China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) releasing contradictory Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for December, the asset has recognized demand and extended its recovery to near 6.7700.

 

The annual CPI has remained unchanged at 1.8%, which is in line with forecasts and higher than the prior statement of 1.6%. In contrast, the price index at the factory gate has decreased dramatically, indicating that producers have less negotiating power. In contrast to forecasts, the Producer Price Index (PPI) decreased by 0.7% rather than 0.1%.

 

The swiftness with which the Chinese government reopened the economy after a lengthy suspension to combat the Covid-19 epidemic has instilled optimism among market participants. The market anticipates a sharp improvement in economic prospects and foreign trade.

 

Morgan Stanley analysts have increased their forecast for China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) this year to above 5%. "If policy can reduce obstacles to the housing/property sectors and COVID zero recovery, China's economic recovery should strengthen beginning in the second quarter of this year," they added.

 

In the interim, risk-sensitive assets are performing well due to investors' enhanced risk appetite, as indicated by the S&P 500 futures' string of weekly increases. The 10-year US Treasury rates have decreased to 3.55 percent due to optimistic market attitude. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has encountered resistance above 102.80 and has swung to the south in advance of U.S. inflation data.

 

Analysts at Wells Fargo believe that a further decline in energy costs will weigh on the headline and balance price rises in food and core services. However, the price decrease will also be assisted by a further decline in core products, led by used autos once more.
