Hot topics

Buyers moved in for financial stocks on Wall Street after reassuring earnings in the sector, while European bourses also rose, helped by demand for technology stocks.

Meanwhile, one potential flashpoint eased on investors watchlist of political risk factors, also helping wider sentiment improve. Italy’s coalition government met an EU deadline to approve a draft budget, helping Milan stocks climb from their lows for the month while demand for sovereign bonds pushed their yields lower.

The FTSE MIB gained more than 1.9 per cent in mid-session trade, cutting its decline for October, a month in which the budget proposals have dominated sentiment, to about 5 per cent.

Benchmark 10-year bond yields fell by 12 basis points for the day to 3.44 per cent as investors bought into the debt. At the height of uncertainty over the implications of the finance bill, the yield touched 3.712 per cent, a four-year high.

After supportive earnings from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley shares in the banks were up 1 per cent and 3 per cent respectively in early trade.

The S&P 500 was up 0.9 per cent, reversing a bout of late-session selling that took it down 0.6 per cent on Monday. That drop compounded a 4.1 per cent slide last week in its biggest weekly decline since March.

Equities

Frankfurt’s Xetra Dax rose 1.4 per cent and the Stoxx 600 gained 1.3 per cent, helped by demand for export and technology stocks, which had room to rally after last week’s brisk sell-off. London’s FTSE 100 was up 0.3 per cent, held back by a stronger pound.

The Stoxx index tracking the tech sector in the region was up 2.8 per cent, with the equivalent benchmark for carmakers up just over 2 per cent.

There was a choppier showing in Asia. Mainland China’s CSI 300 fell 0.8 per cent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was up 0.1 per cent.

Sydney’s S&P/ASX 200 was up 0.6 per cent, helped by the basic material and financial sectors.

The Topix in Tokyo ended a volatile session up 0.7 per cent overall.

Forex

Sterling continued to rise on stubborn hopes that the UK would be able to avoid a disorderly departure from the EU with a deal on the terms of Brexit. The pound was up 0.5 per cent at $1.3213, also helped by a stronger-than-expected rise in average earnings data for August.

Against the euro, the pound strengthened 0.5 per cent, with a unit of the shared currency costing £0.8759. Against the dollar, the euro was flat at $1.1580.

The yen moved off a four-week high as haven demand for it eased. Japan’s currency was 0.4 per cent weaker at ¥112.25 per dollar.

Fixed income

The yield on US 10-year Treasuries was 1 basis point higher at 3.17 per cent. That on the 10-year German Bund was 1bp lower at 0.50 per cent.

Commodities

Brent crude slipped 0.1 per cent to $80.67 a barrel while US West Texas Intermediate edged up 0.1 per cent to $71.85.
