Good Morning!

Dow futures up around 25 points at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on election day and potential implications. So many contested races and the question to be answered is “will we know who is President when we wake up tomorrow morning?”

From Bloomberg

  • "US equity futures fluctuated as voting got underway after one of the most dramatic American presidential campaigns in modern history.

  • While markets looked relatively subdued in early Tuesday trading, nerves are running high as traders anticipate a long night of ballot counting and the potential for sharp swings no matter the outcome. Overhanging the mood on Wall Street remains the threat of a contested election that has little precedent.

  • “What you can see across markets now is that no one is ready to take clear investment positions on the election,” said Alexandre Hezez, chief investment officer at Groupe Banque Richelieu in Paris. “The uncertainty is palpable across all asset classes. There’s such a massive gap between the program of the two candidates that caution is of the essence.”

  • That sense of caution showed as stock investors held off on trading and volumes were relatively low in Europe. S&P 500 futures added 0.1%. Ten-year Treasury yields rose two basis points to 4.31%. The dollar weakened. Bitcoin gained 2.7%. 

  • Tech outperformed, with Nasdaq 100 contracts climbing 0.2%. Palantir Technologies Inc. surged 13% in premarket trading on record profit and high demand for its artificial intelligence software. Nvidia Corp. and Tesla Inc. were up slightly. "
