What does Donald Trump’s election win mean for global financial markets?
It is the morning after the week before, and we now know the scale of the win for Donald Trump, who took all seven swing states. So wasn't that close after all, was it? So what does that mean for an emboldened Donald Trump? What does that mean for the world's financial markets? We'll look at the reactions to that at the start of a week that will also give us Australian labour market data, US CPI, and we'll look at the impact of the latest stimulus moves out of Beijing as well. It's Monday. It's the eleventh of november twenty twenty four. It's the morning call from NAB. Good morning. Well the US dollar was up half a percent on Friday up to a hundred and five on the DXY now, more or less, where it was uh shortly after the news of the Trump win.
But it has been higher uh as recently as mid June, so it's not the highest. And the Aussie down one point four percent on Friday to sixty five point eight US cents, but over the week ever so slightly up actually. And US stocks still going well at the end of the week. The S P rose four point seven percent last week. Getting up over six thousand for the first time on Friday, back a bit from that at the close, and it's delivered a twenty five point seven percent return year to date. Bond yields though, falling for change on Friday. Ten year treasury is down two basis points, down to four point three one percent. That's down almost nine basis points over the week. Whereas Aussie ten year yields were up about six basis points last week to four point five eight percent.
And oil prices fell on Friday down two point seven. percent for WTI, two point three percent for Brent, but Brent still up about one point one percent over the week. So across most asset classes, it seems like the initial reaction to the Trump victory unwound a little bit towards the end of the week. Will it bounce back again this week? That is the question.
How are companies like Breville reacting to potential US‑China tariffs?
How uncertain is the future in all of this? Here's Nabs Tappa Strickland in Sydney. So I guess Tapas it all depends on what Donald Trump Trump announces and how quickly and who he puts into place to to help him, maybe that'll give us an idea about how serious he is about his various uh policy measures, but particularly uh on tariffs, that is the question, isn't it? One iconic Aussie brand, uh Breville, according to the weekend press, are really concerned about it.
Good morning, Phil. Uh yes, that's the main things that are spilling out effectively from the US presidential election is what policies and what sequencing are likely to occur. And a lot of people are looking at the discussions around the various potential appointees for the various secretary positions. Uh and unfortunately we don't have too much insight in terms of that as yet. So I think markets will be reacting to that just to get a degree of insight in terms Terms of uh is Trump genuine in wanting to put a ten to twenty percent tariff across the board? Is he genuinely wanting to put a sixty percent tariff against China? Or are these campaign rhetoric uh aiming to get to a more centred position later on?
And that's where the big conflict within markets are. But uh the key thing for activity is some firms are moving ahead of the potential for tariffs. As you noted, Breville uh did warn uh of uh Trump China tariff War and uh the CEO, Mr. Clayton, told shareholders in his CEO address that now that Trump has won the US presidential election, the near term risk of material tariff increases on consumer goods coming out of the US has solidified. And as a consequence, Breville will accelerate the buildup of inventory in the US and move some production of its products out of China as quickly as possible. So uh if if if Breville is symptomatic of what some other international firms are going to be doing in this space, then you'd expect
Uh wrap up in production in the near term, um some s some stockpiling of goods in the US until we get more clarity exactly around around uh tariffs and uh more momentum towards shifting production potentially out of China uh and into other places such as Asia or even the Americas.
