Gene comments on stock, bond, dollar, oil & gold markets, with a particular emphasis on monetary policy, technology issues and S&P intraday action. Dollar weakness continues amid vaccine optimism and the U.S. reportedly plans to ban exports to some Chinese tech firms.

Metals
crude rose 0.07% to $42.45 a barrel and global benchmark Brent crude rose 0.33% to $45.11 per barrel.Spot gold rose 0.11% to $1,872.63 per ounce.

Oil
LIBOR arose during the OPEC crisis of the 1970s, a period when interest rates were simply too volatile to safely finance a major project at a long-term fixed rate.
United States
While the Fed supplies a temporary LIBOR, the market trades a futures contract, then settles these contracts through the delivery of the Fed-defined instrument at the Fed-provided index rate.

No matter how reluctant the Fed might be to set LIBOR, even temporarily, they are apparently bowing to market participants’ needs.

Market response to the Fed’s offer should include two areas of Fed-market cooperation. social distancing and business closures, in order to prevent, for example, over 2.2 million people dying from COVID in the US. But two subsequent virus-related releases (Moderna’s (NASDAQ:MRNA) vaccine news and Pfizer’s application for emergency authorization) had little upside impact.
There was nothing in the fixed income markets that remotely met the IOSCO restrictions before the Fed created SOFR. Moreover, the Fed will be accused of crossing into the domain of market forces.

China
SoyaCincau states the food trucks are manufactured by Neolix, a self-driving logistics startup based in Beijing.
Europe
Britain needs to accept EU conditions, particularly over the level playing field for business, and the prime minister has yet to give the final nod. EU leaders will discuss the future of the bloc s relations with Ankara at their summit in December. Boris Johnson still holds the key.
