Last Tuesday was a historic night in US politics, with a resounding victory for the Democrats in the midterm election. There was a very positive market reaction the following day, followed by an equally dramatic selloff on day two. Let’s take a step back from the daily swings and consider how markets usually react to midterm elections.
US inflation will take centre stage this week, with the CPI due on Tuesday. Here in Aotearoa, we'll be watching for any market reaction in the wake of the election, while a speech from RBNZ Chief Economist Paul Conway on Tuesday will also be of interest.
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, publicly filed its prospectus with US regulators in late October. It has applied to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT, in what is expected to be one of the biggest market events of the year. Will it be a sure thing, and what might determine whether this listing is a success?
This will be another monster week one, with some major US economic releases, two global central bank meetings and a busy political calendar. The US midterms will be a highlight, before the New Zealand election this coming Saturday. If that wasn't enough, some 140 S&P 500 companies and many others from across the world are due to announce earnings.
It’s not just policymakers, consumers and prospective political leaders who should pay close attention to inflation. Investors also need to be very mindful of how it can impact their holdings and erode their returns. When you’re investing, what you’re really trying to do is maintain (and hopefully grow) your purchasing power. That means you need a clear understanding of the “real” return you’re making on your money.
