10.25 Financial Breakfast: Fed Chairman Renewal Variable Tax Change

On Tuesday (October 24th), the second half of the New York session staged a good show. US Senate Democratic leader Schumer slammed Trump’s tax reform plan, thinking that the version was designed for the rich and did not help reduce the deficit. . At the same time, Senate Republican leader McConnell said that three Republican senators will vote against the tax reform. Among them are the key figures that failed to pass Trump's medical reform, Republican Grand Slam McCain. The other is Corker, who had previously fought against Trump on Twitter. The Trump tax reform has just ushered in a major breakthrough, but several big crickets have stood on the opposition side, making the tax reform prospects suddenly cast a shadow. The US dollar index once plunged rapidly, from rising to falling, also reflecting the significant influence of the tax reform, and the market's sensitivity is extremely high.

But then, US Senator Scott cast a blockbuster. He said that when Trump had dinner with Republican senators, they asked them to express their position on the next Fed chairman by a show of hands. The results show that the hawks represent Taylor's highest level of support. Previously, Powell, who was a bit of a pigeon, was the most popular candidate. But all of a sudden, Taylor seems to win the game, and the dollar regains lost ground. In just half an hour, the US dollar index rose nearly a hundred points. On the whole, the Fed chairman's candidate is just around the corner, and short-term market volatility may still intensify at any time before the results are announced. The prospect of tax reform is a key factor that will really affect the dollar. At present, the three Republicans who were alleged to have opposed the tax reform did not respond positively. However, given the Democratic Party’s buzz on the tax reform plan, if the Republican Party’s internal differences increase, the prospects for tax reform remain uncertain.

On Wednesday (October 25), the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision hit. Previously, the Governor of the Bank of Canada had said that the Bank of Canada did not have a default interest rate path, and interest rate hikes were mainly based on economic performance. According to analysis, the Bank of Canada has raised interest rates twice this year, and the performance of the economy after raising interest rates remains to be seen. The North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations still have variables that will have a profound impact on the Canadian economy in the future. Therefore, in this context, the Bank of Canada is expected to be biased. In addition, with the Bank of England's November meeting approaching, the Bank of England's 10-year or first rate hike is also heated by the market. The initial value of the UK's third-quarter GDP rate, which will be released on Wednesday, is expected to be a major factor affecting the Bank of England's interest rate hike and deserves close attention.

The price of gold fell on Tuesday, as gold prices fluctuated because of differences in tax reforms between the US and the two parties, as well as rumors of the hawkish candidate Taylor or the final election of the Fed chairman. In addition, the stock market is strong and the geopolitical situation has calmed down, hitting demand for safe havens. In addition, the US third quarter GDP data will be released on Friday, before the gold price bulls or tend to wait and see.

In terms of crude oil, both the US and the United States both rose, after Saudi Arabia, the major oil exporter, said it was determined to end the oversupply of crude oil. Oil prices were also boosted by expectations of further declines in US crude oil inventories and uneasy feelings about tensions in the Kurdish region of Iraq. According to API data, US crude oil inventories rose slightly by 519,000 barrels last week, while gasoline inventories fell sharply by 5.75 million barrels. After the data was released, the US oil was refreshed and it was stable at a high level.

The US dollar remained firm against a basket of currencies on Tuesday, as reports said that some Republican senators supported Stanford University economist Taylor as the chairman of the Fed, offsetting the impact of news that the tax reform plan may be blocked. The market believes that Taylor may lead the Fed to a faster rate hike, and he favors the determination of interest rates based on the "Taylor Rule." The optimism about tax reforms has cooled, after CNBC quoted an assistant to Senate Republican leader McConnell as saying that three Republican senators may not support the Republican tax reform bill.
