Dow Jones previews the week of November 2, highlighting US midterm elections, October nonfarm payrolls, and Bank of England expected to raise rates. Rate decisions are also due in Sweden, Norway, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and Malaysia.
A Democratic sweep and hawkish central bank moves could firm the dollar and weigh on dollar-priced commodities, though the preview itself describes scheduled events rather than a new shock.
Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
After 23 past neutral report events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -0.2% to +0.4%), and +0.5% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
