Stocks And Bonds Yields Climb As Investors Eye U.S. Stimulus

Via Reuter:

Global stocks and bond yields rose on Wednesday as Washington moved closer to agreeing a coronavirus stimulus package, pinning the dollar at its lowest for a month.

he MSCI world equity index .MIWD00000PUS, which follows shares in nearly 50 countries, gained 0.1%, buoyed by a 0.5% gain for Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS.

Wall Street was also set for gains, with U.S. stock futures EScv1 up 0.3%.

European shares were however dragged down by the healthcare .SXDP and real estate .SX86P sectors. The broad Euro STOXX 600 .STOXX fell 0.2% in early trading, with Paris .FCHI and London .FTSE shares down 0.2% and 0.4% respectively.

The White House and Democrats in the U.S. Congress moved closer to agreement on a new coronavirus relief package as President Donald Trump said he was willing to accept a large aid bill despite opposition from his own Republican Party.

With just two weeks until the U.S. presidential election, Trump signaled a willingness to go along with more than $2.2 trillion in new COVID-19 relief, a figure Democrats have been pushing for months.

In response, U.S. Treasury yields hit a four-month high and the yield curve steepened as expectations grew for more fiscal spending. Investors also sold benchmark euro zone debt, with German Bunds DE10YT=RR rising to their highest for a week at -0.571%.

The moves in stocks and bonds highlight how importantly new stimulus is viewed for the U.S. and global economies, said Hugh Gimber, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

“Everyone knows that more stimulus needs to come through,” he said, cautioning that any package may struggle to pass the Republican-controlled Senate. “But markets are perhaps not always right to be bouncing on speculation.”

Still, bond investors are pricing in a stimulus package, either by the election or early next year should the Democrats win the White House and Senate, Deutsche Bank analysts wrote.

The chances of such a “Blue Wave” have risen notably in the last 3 weeks, they said.
