The US Presidential race should be behind us and investors will turn their attention to the specific policy implications, however Donald Trump does not seem to want to go without a fight. Will markets really care if the final result remains in doubt for a little longer? So far, the mood has been risk-on as the Senate stays Republican. Meanwhile, Brexit trade talks will be of crucial importance to sterling and UK equities as time runs out for a deal. 

 Will Donald Trump leave without a fight? 

 Probably not, but does it matter? At the time of writing, Donald Trump looked odds on to lose the election, but he does not seem to want to go without a legal fight. The president will try every avenue but it’s unclear whether anything can stop Joe Biden becoming president. Markets reacted last week to a Blue White House and Red Senate with relief – it’s good for growth stocks like big tech, less good for value stocks. 

Brexit 

Time is ticking – GBP crosses are susceptible to significant headline risk but for cable 1.30 remains the anchor point. Both sides want a deal, but neither wants one at all costs. If anything, you might say that the economic damage and fiscal-monetary response actually provides cover for a no-deal exit. The informal meeting of heads of state in Berlin scheduled for Nov 16th, by which point Macron, Merkel et al will want to have a text to sign off, is going to be the focus point but stay ready for headlines crossing before.
