On November 8, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson addressed the UN Human Rights Council on November 7. Johnson stated that the US federal governments refusal to accept review by the Human Rights Council was an attempt to evade scrutiny. He argued that the Human Rights Council should apply the same accountability standards to the US federal government as it does elsewhere in the world, and that no country is above international law. Johnson called on the Human Rights Council to send independent experts to Chicago to investigate the challenges facing the city; he also urged the Council to take further accountability measures, including convening a special session to investigate the worsening human rights crisis in the United States. The UN Human Rights Council was scheduled to hold its fourth round of Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on November 7, but the US representative refused to attend, preventing the review from proceeding normally. The Human Rights Council adopted a decision that day urging the United States to resume cooperation with the UPR mechanism.Russian Ministry of Defense: Russian troops have occupied the village of Vovche in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine.Ukrainian Prime Minister: Russia’s attack on Ukrainian dams damaged several large energy facilities in the Kyiv, Kharkiv and Poltava regions.November 8th - Pfizer has finalized its $10 billion acquisition offer for Metsera, a startup focused on weight-loss drugs, after a bidding war with Novo Nordisk.

The GBP/USD pair is hitting resistance near the immediate barrier of 1.1360 during the Tokyo session. The barriers surrounding 1.1360 seem to be thinning as market participants' risk tolerance increases. After two straight strong trading days, S&P500 futures have continued to increase their gains in the Tokyo session. After overcoming the aforementioned challenge, the pound bulls will grow stronger.

 

The US dollar index (DXY), which is now doing poorly, is circling about 112.00. The value of the asset can drop even further as a result of a decline in the demand for safe-haven assets. In contrast, despite the Fed's heightened hawkishness, US bond returns continue to be strong. The 10-year US Treasury yields have advanced over 4.01% as of the time of writing.

 

The likelihood of a fourth consecutive 75 basis point (bps) rate increase announcement is roughly 96%, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

 

According to Reuters, Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed Bank, said on Tuesday in response to escalating inflationary pressures, "Until I see some compelling indication that core inflation has at least peaked, I am not willing to pronounce a pause in rate hikes."

 

The rate of inflation hasn't changed much as a result of ongoing Fed rate rises. Although the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) is well-anchored due to rising service sector pricing, the headline CPI has declined as a result of decreasing fuel prices.

 

On the British front, the Bank of England (BOE) announced on November 1 that the Asset Purchase Facility will include its bond-selling program (APF). Market liquidity will decrease as a result.

 

In the UK, political unrest is at an all-time high as a result of the government's lack of confidence in Prime Minister Liz Truss. If given the opportunity to vote again, Rishi Sunak, who lost to Ms. Truss, would receive 55% of the Tory members' votes, while Ms. Truss would receive only 25%.

 

Future course will depend on the inflation figures released by the United Kingdom on Wednesday. Forecasts suggest that the headline and core inflation rates could both rise by 10 basis points, to 10% and 6.4%, respectively. An increase in inflation reaching double digits could pose new challenges for the British economy.
