독립기념일을 맞아 미국 시장이 휴장하면서 목요일 유럽 주식과 통화가 상승해 현재 진행 중인 영국 총선에도 불구하고 위험 회피 기미가 보이지 않았다.
노동당은 14년 연속 보수(토리당) 집권을 끝내고 압승을 거둘 것으로 예상된다. 선거를 앞두고 노동당은 보수당을 상대로 약 20%포인트 앞섰다.

On Thursday, Nov. 14, U.S. markets ended lower after Fed Chair Jerome Powell dampened hopes for an interest rate cut, citing steady economic growth, a strong job market, and persistent inflation. Traders reduced bets on a December cut, leading to declines in the Dow, S&amp;P 500, and Nasdaq.
Powell&#8217;s remarks followed data showing a rise in producer prices for October, slightly higher than expected.

Economic data showed that U.S. jobless claims fell by 4,000 to 217,000 for the week ending Nov. 9, beating estimates of 223,000. Producer prices increased by 0.2% in October, matching market expectations after a revised 0.1% rise in September.

US Futures, European Stocks Rally Post-Trump Victory While Crude Oil And Gold Decline - Global Markets Today While US Slept

A second Donald Trump mandate could lead to marked shifts in global commodity prices, spurred by his pro-fossil fuel policies, potential tariffs, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" rel="noreferrer noopener">aggressive trade stances</a>.
Oxford Economics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/resource/trump-presidency-could-alter-the-trajectory-for-commodity-prices/" rel="noreferrer noopener">noted</a> that Trump has campaigned to "unleash a new ear for fossil fuels," as deregulation of the U.S. energy sector could increase the production of oil, coal, and natural gas.
They expect that accelerating the current expansion in the domestic production of energy commodities would "lower the prices and, in turn, outweigh greater demand for diesel and gas through the repeal of tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act."
"Trump has pledged to roll back restrictions on drilling and permitting which were implemented under the Biden administration, as well as to streamline deregulation and end any [electric vehicle] mandates or green energy incentives," UK-based Gibson Shipbrokers stated, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/102924-us-elections-trump-presidency-seen-as-bullish-for-tanker-rates-in-us-middle-east-russia-wild-card" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> S&amp;P Global's report.
Industrial metals and agricultural goods, including steel and soybeans, will likely feel the impact of renewed tariffs, especially in a trade showdown with China. While China sought to reduce its exposure to U.S. soybean imports by importing more from Brazil and Argentina, it still buys a notable amount of U.S. oilseed.
Futures prices reacted accordingly to the election results, with the November 2024 deliveries declining 2.01% on the CME exchange, while Soybean oil prices rose 0.42% for the same period.
Trump's proposed tariff of up to 60% would likely weaken demand for industrial commodities like copper, steel, and iron ore, all essential to China's manufacturing.
"If Trump wins, I expect we'll see a serious slowdown in demand for metals. China, the largest consumer of these resources, would be facing the toughest constraints," Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/commodities-under-pressure-likely-trump-win-us-presidential-race-2024-11-06/" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> Reuters.
Such a shift could weigh on commodity-exporting nations like Australia, making it more challenging to maintain export revenues.
Matthew Durban, a former Australian Trade and Investment Commission economist, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/increasingly-unstable-expert-claims-trump-win-would-be-calamitous-for-aussie-economy/news-story/c9e258889a0135c1f1cbbc80e3f1b234" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlighted</a> the risk for News.com.au, stating that Australia's economy would face "calamitous" consequences from reduced Chinese demand, which currently accounts for 35% of the country's exports. Tariffs would disrupt Chinese industrial activity, leading to lower demand for Australian commodities that fuel Chinese manufacturing, such as coal and iron ore.
That situation would put the country in strategic tension as it balances its close alliance with the U.S. and its economic reliance on China.

Donald Trump's Victory Could Disrupt Commodities, Put Australia In Precarious Position

On Tuesday, October 29, U.S. markets closed mixed: the Nasdaq reached a record high, the S&amp;P 500 gained, and the Dow declined as investors evaluated earnings reports. Alphabet&#8217;s strong revenue, along with upcoming results from other &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech giants, will determine if Wall Street&#8217;s optimism for AI and tech can sustain recent index gains.
Economic data showed the S&amp;P CoreLogic Case-Shiller index rose 5.2% year-over-year in August, down from July&#8217;s 5.9%. U.S. wholesale inventories dipped 0.1% in September, while the trade deficit widened to $108.2 billion from $94.2 billion.
