MARKET COMMENTARY
· The Senate made progress on legislation to temporarily increase the US debt ceiling, as a sufficient number of Republicans voted with Democrats to end a partisan clash that has shaken financial markets and led to concerns of the nation’s first default on government obligations later this month. The vote Thursday night was 61-38, just one more than needed to allow legislation lifting the statutory debt ceiling by $480 billion to a vote on passage. That second critical vote can clear by majority, and Democrats who lead the Senate are confident that they have enough support in their own party to clear the vote. Government operations funding also expires on the 3rd of December, potentially culminating in a government shutdown unless lawmakers can complete agency budgets for this fiscal year. · Oil is on track for a seventh weekly gain, marking the longest such run since December, as a global energy crunch roiled financial markets. Futures in New York extended gains in early Asian trading to near $79 a barrel after the US Energy Department said that it had no plans currently to tap the nation’s oil reserves. Crude rallied to the highest since 2014 earlier this week after OPEC+ stuck with a gradual boost in supply next month despite a tightening market, exacerbated by the energy crisis.

· Risk sentiment improved and USD mildly under-performed, as US Senate agreed to lift debt ceiling until 3 December and European gas prices fell. China market will reopen, hopefully to provide updates on Chinese property developers debt issues. AUD crosses out-performed overnight, possibly supported by Australia’s surging trade surplus, as coal and LNG rescue exports from the iron ore plunge. US Treasury yields continued to rise, and the curve steepened further amid confirmation that Democrats and Republicans had reached a deal to raise the debt ceiling by USD480bn. The strain in the Treasury market has moved away from T-bills trading in late-October into those maturing in early- to mid-December. Separately, Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, said Russia has the capacity to raise gas exports by around 15% of peak winter supply to Europe.
· The Fed should give greenlight to start tapering on November unless today’s US payroll print (8.30pm SGT/HKT) surprises to the downside significantly. The risk of a more hawkish Fed shift hastening USD’s transition to a stronger path drives the recent downgrades of our 12-month forecasts for the EURUSD, USDJPY and gold. Consensus looks for Sep non-farm payroll to rise 500k. It would likely take a much weaker number below 200k or closer to flat to dissuade the Fed from signaling taper at its November meeting. Separately, last week’s US initial jobless claims fell more than expected to 326k (exp: 348k, prev: 364k). This was the lowest number in a month. Overall, the data is encouraging, showing continued improvement in the US labour market, despite a recent uptick in weekly jobless claims.
· Increased China growth headwinds warrants further caution on the CNY outlook even as we expect the CNY to remain broadly stable. We raised the 12-month USDCNY forecast to 6.50 from 6.40. Despite strength in the broad USD index, the USDCNY bilateral exchange rate was range-bound over the past month, and we see limited scope for much movement given uncertainty around US-China trade talks and the prospects for easing by the PBoC. US officials announced plans to schedule a virtual Biden-Xi call in the coming weeks. US-China relationship may turn into a major market theme later this year. Recent US-China presidential call agreed on engagement, with no direct reference to tariffs. US-China relations continue to pose two-way risks, skewed more to the downside for USDCNY, especially on any easing in relations and/or lower tariffs. The Biden administration has set out its approach to trade with China, which involves re-engaging on the Phase One trade deal and restarting a tariff exclusion process.
