In today’s Market Moments, our Liquid Markets team updates on all things equity, fixed income, commodity, volatility and currency.

As we see confirmed global COVID cases nearing 9 million, we find the markets stuck in a heavy tug of war, between optimistic recovery and fear of reintroducing COVID restrictions. Whilst immense policy stimulus across fiscal and monetary policy and easing of social restrictions aid the economic recovery, investors are aware of the potential for a second wave pandemic, along with the accompanied economic challenges, and the current unhealthy level of retail investor participation in some segments of the market.

Tune in this week to hear the team talk to:

- The bullish and bearish narratives different sectors are presenting

- The rise and fall of global equity and commodity markets, noting demand for precious metals

- The boom in retail sales and the early growth against original forecasted figures

- Fed commencing its secondary market credit bond purchases.
