By Public Technologies
  • Commonwealth Bank of Australia expects Democratic control of Congress to constrain major US spending changes but increase policy uncertainty.
  • Presidential authority over tariffs, sanctions and export controls could become more important, exposing Australia through global trade links.
  • US Treasury yields fell about 7 to 8 basis points across the yield curve, reflecting expectations of tighter fiscal constraints.
  • The bank’s November 4 market note cautioned against overinterpreting the initial rally, citing substantial US deficits and borrowing requirements.
  • Australian government bonds also rallied, though domestic factors influenced trading; US Treasury yields can affect Australian borrowing costs.
