US agenda in global markets

All attention in global markets has turned to the US. Market players will be closely monitoring the results of the US midterm elections and US inflation on Thursday. While US stock futures are swinging in the loss and gain zone this morning in the shadow of the US elections, losses are being experienced in Asia led by Hong Kong and China. The S&P 500 futures, which closed Tuesday with a 0.6 percent increase, were in the negative zone in early transactions. Hong Kong's Hang Seng led the losses in Asia Pacific with a decrease of over 1 percent, while China's CSI 300 and Japan's Nikkei are also in the red. The dollar started the day weakening. The Bloomberg Dollar Index is at 1,312 points with a slight loss. The US 10-year bond yield settled at 4.13 percent. US crude oil fell 4 percent in the first two days of the week and is holding at $89 this morning with a slight loss. Spot gold is also losing. The ounce of gold tested below $1,708.
