WALL STREET ADVANCES AS CHANCES OF TRUMP WIN RISE
Shares on Wall Street ended Monday on a positive note, adding to last Friday's rally, as investors priced in the possibility of a second term for Donald Trump as president after he survived an assassination attempt last Saturday.
Online betting site PredictIt showed bets of an election win at 67 cents for Trump, after the assassination attempt, up from Friday's 60 cents, with a victory for Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden at 26 cents.
Crypto stocks, gun stocks and shares of other companies that could benefit from a Donald Trump presidency jumped on Monday.
Crypto exchange Coinbase Global COIN.O and bitcoin miners Riot Platforms RIOT.O and Marathon Digital MARA.O surged over 10% each.
Shares of private prison operators Geo Group GEO.N and CoreCivic CXW.N each bounced about 8%. Both are likely gaining on the prospect of a Trump presidency as he has promised to crack down on illegal immigration, which could boost demand for detention centers.
"Investors think a less constrained Trump administration could double down on campaign pledges to restrict immigration, lower income taxes, and raise tariffs across the board," wrote Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist, at Corpay in Toronto, in a research note.
"(It's) a policy mix that might raise U.S. inflation and interest rates, worsen the country's fiscal position, and damage global trade flows, even as it supports a stronger dollar and higher valuations for large corporates."
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell remained non-committal on the timing and degree of rate cuts. He said the three U.S. inflation readings over the second quarter of this year do "add somewhat to confidence" that the pace of price increases is returning to the Fed's target in a sustainable fashion.
The U.S. rate futures market has slightly reduced the chances of a September cut to 89% from 94% last Friday, according to LSEG calculations, while slightly nudging up the July rate cut probability to 8.5%, from Friday's roughly 5%.
