US Market View
US stocks are set to open slightly lower, retracing some - but by no means all - of Monday’s surge that took both the Dow Jones and S&P 500 to new record highs. President Donald Trump continues to make life as hard for the incoming administration as possible. The Wall Street Journal said the outgoing administration is drawing up plans to order a further drawdown of US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan by January 15, five days before he leaves office. The so-called OPEC+ bloc of oil producers will hold a virtual meeting of technical experts to review the state of the oil market, two weeks before its ministers decide on the bloc’s output policy for the coming months.
USA Key Point
- Fed's Bostic supports that possible some people are starting to run out of money
- The GBP is the strongest and the NZD is the weakest
- EU says Brexit talks are intensive, no comment on timing for a deal
