Western politics dominates the narrative this week – UBS

Source Fxstreet

This week has a lot of politics in it, and markets are rarely that good at pricing political risk, Chief Economist at UBS Global Wealth Management Paul Donovan argues.

Markets focus on politics in the US and Europe

"The US presidential debate may make investors pay attention to political risk earlier than is normal in the US political cycle. Because so much attention has focused on the suitability of the candidates for office (rather than their policy positions), this debate might actually matter."

"Inflation is one real world issue that has had political. Politically, inflation is an emotional issue not a rational issue—consumers focus on price levels of high frequency purchases. Reports of price discounting in food items profit-led inflation retreats are likely to impact political perceptions far more than official data."

"The UK prime minister and the leader of the opposition are set to debate this week as well. Markets do not think there is much political uncertainty in the UK. We conclude the week with the first round of the French parliamentary elections. Market uncertainties there are specific (who forms the next government in France?), and more general (the rise of prejudice politics in Europe)."

The 30-year Treasury just hit a 22-year high — and the bond market is not pricing the Fed, it is pricing the deficit The 30-year Treasury yield closed at 5.56% on 28 September, the highest since June 2004, while the 10-year reached 5.24% and the 20-year 5.60%. The curve has steepened roughly 30bp in eight sessions even as October hike odds sit at 70.3%. That gap is the story: the long end is repricing fiscal and inflation risk, not policy. With PCE on Wednesday and payrolls on Friday, here is what the long end is really saying.

Nvidia's $150 billion buyback landed — and the AI sector fell anyway. That's the signal worth trading Nvidia closed up 1.68% at $228.86 on 28 September after announcing a $150 billion share repurchase authorisation, the largest single corporate buyback on record, while the rest of the AI complex sold off: AMD -3.6%, Micron -2.6%, Meta -4.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index -1.61%. The divergence is not noise. Capital is rotating toward cash-flow certainty, not abandoning the AI theme. With Micron reporting after the close on 30 September, here is what the split means.
