US Election – It’s the Final Countdown
Mitrade Team
2020-10-29 820

Under a week into the US election and there is also already a statistic that is standing out. Early voting in the US has reached 50.2% of the total vote cast in 2016. That puts the 2020 election on track for the highest ballots cast in US history. If a winner can be announced on Tuesday, it should be decisive, however nothing is assured in the lead-up to this election.

 

The election is creating a very short-term ‘nervous lull’ in currencies as seen by the soft ranges in the USD.

 

Pairs of note:

 

EUR/USD is holding between $1.1796 and $1.1839 despite COVID issues flaring in France, Italy and now Germany. Further shutdowns and possible cuts to workforce and social interaction heading to the winter months is a daunting prospect for the already faltering European economy. This pair has some real headwind risks coming in the next 8-10 weeks.

 

GBP/USD continues to rise now above $1.30. This is despite the fact that Brexit is becoming a huge risk for the pair and that the UK is bordering on having to enact strict stage 3 lockdowns for a second time this year.

 

AUD/USD too has been rangebound, holding between $0.7110 and $0.7160. There is an array of data due out this week that might move the dial here. But the reaction to the CPI released on Wednesday was next to nothing falling 10 pips even with a better read than expected. The pair is waiting for the RBA next Tuesday where it is expected the RBA will enter the quantitative easing market.
