2nd November, 2020 Morning Brief

Market will open on a flat note today.

Asian markets have opened mixed this morning. Benchmark indices in Japan are seeing gains while those in Australia are fluctuating. Today marks the start of a very important week for global equities, with the U.S. Presidential Elections, as well as the Federal Reserve Policy meeting.

US stock indexes closed lower on Friday to cap Wall Street's biggest weekly sell-off since March, as losses in richly priced tech heavyweights, a record rise in coronavirus cases and jitters over the presidential election snuffed investor sentiment.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 157.51 points, or 0.59%, to 26,501.6. The S&P 500 lost 40.15 points, or 1.21%, to 3,269.96 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 274.00 points, or 2.45%, to 10,911.59.

Futures on the Dow Jones are trading 140 points lower currently.

Oil prices slumped more than 4% on Monday to the lowest levels since May on worries a swathe of coronavirus lockdowns across Europe will weaken fuel demand, while traders braced for turbulence during the U.S. Presidential election week.
