It
was a significant session for news items.
</p><p class=“western“>Russia
sent missiles into Ukrainian cities, terrorising communities during
morning rush hour in apparent retaliation for the loss of its bridge
linking Russia to Crimea. Markets responded in a ‘risk off’
fashion. As I post Nasdaq futures on Globex are down around half a
percent, S&P500 futures are down around 0.4%. Major FX has fallen
against the US dollar.</p><p class=“western“>From
the UK we had the news that Chancellor Kwarteng will announce his
fiscal strategy and economic forecasts on October 31, bringing the
plans forward by more than three weeks. Kwarteng is seeking to calm
volatile UK by bringing the date forward. He had been insisting it
was vital to have the date in November (the 23rd)
to allow the OBR to make a proper assessment, Guess not after all.
GBP has managed to bounce somewhat on the news.</p><p class=“western“>The Swiss National Bank cut overnight deposits by 30bn CHF.</p><p class=“western“>Chinese
and Hong Kong stocks slumped today; ongoing renewed COVID
restrictions and US chip bans cited (see bullets above).
