Markets:
The FX market was on the leading edge of a move in risk assets once again. AUD and NZD were particularly weak before New York arrived but there was a broad bid in the US dollar underpinning everything.
The equity market was sanguine to start and the S&P 500 opened higher but it all steadily fell apart and turned into a nasty rout. Emerging market FX was battered including another record low in Turkish lira.
The dollar finished at the best levels of the day, almost right across the board. Once again, there was no clear trigger for the moves but Powell highlighted that the Fed has done all it can do and the market isn’t liking that state of affairs combined with the pandemic and election uncertainty.
