1. Initial Jobless Claims Out At 8:30 AM EST. Initial jobless claims fell below 1 million in August for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began almost five months ago, signaling a steady if slow revival in a battered U.S. labor market. New applications for unemployment benefits are expected to decline to 925K from 963K last week.

2. Fed To Cut One-week Dollar Swap Operations With Major Central Banks. The U.S. Federal Reserve will cut the number of seven-day swap operations with major central banks to one tender per week from three from Sept. 1 as funding conditions have improved, the European Central Bank said in a statement on Thursday. The Fed will, however, maintain its schedule for 84-day tenders with the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the ECB and the Swiss National Bank at one per week, the ECB said.

3. China, United States Agree To Hold Trade Talks, Chinese Commerce Ministry Says. China and the United States have agreed to hold trade talks "in the coming days" to evaluate the progress of their Phase 1 trade deal six months after it took effect in February, the Chinese commerce ministry said on Thursday.

4. China Vows All Necessary Measures To Protect Firms Following U.S. Curbs On Huawei. China will take "all necessary measures" to protect its firms' legitimate interests, the Commerce Ministry said on Thursday, in response to the U.S. move this week to further tighten restrictions on Huawei Technologies Co. The Trump administration on Monday expanded restrictions announced in May aimed at preventing the Chinese telecommunications giant from obtaining semiconductors without a special license, and added 38 Huawei affiliates in 21 countries to the U.S. government's economic blacklist in its crackdown on its access to commercially available chips.

5. Facebook Wins Preliminary Approval To Settle Facial Recognition Lawsuit.

TESLA STOCK PLUNGES AFTER BEING LEFT OUT OF S&P 500 INDEX - CAPITAL STREET FX

Tesla stock cratered Tuesday as the electric-car maker failed to gain admission into the S&P 500 index, as many expected, during the quarterly rebalancing.
Expectations that Tesla would be added to the index are among the reasons shares had more than doubled since July 1. Investors bet the company’s inclusion could mean a sudden jump in demand for passive funds that track the benchmark. In addition, Tesla stock got another jolt when it announced a 5-for-1 stock split on Aug. 11. Trading began on a stock split-adjusted basis on Aug. 31.

The decision to leave Tesla (TSLA) off the index was made late Friday, even though the company had met all the eligibility criteria. The S&P 500 is a market capitalization-weighted index of the 500 largest U.S. publicly traded companies.
Tesla stock dropped 21.1%, closing at 330.21 on the stock market today. Last week, Tesla stock dropped 16% amid a broad sell-off of technology stocks. S&P Global did not comment on why TSLA was not added to the index this cycle. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.

The companies that were added to the S&P 500 index are e-commerce company Etsy (ETSY), pharmaceutical company Catalent (CTLT) and test equipment maker Teradyne (TER). Etsy's stock fell 1.3%, to 110.56. Catalent dipped 1.1%, to 83.07. Teradyne dropped 3.9%, to 75.53.
On the technical front, the RSI is at 22.64% and suggests that the market can move in the downward direction. The current price is trading below all the moving averages and above 50 days moving averages. The stochastic is forming a downside crossover.
Overall Bias is negative and Short-term sell trades can be initiated with below mentioned Stop Loss and Profit targets.

Trade Suggestion – SELL Tesla Share at 330.05 Take Profit at 314.13 Stop Loss at 348.99

Report Prepared By Capital Street Fx Covers Major Financial News of Asia Indo-Pacific region - 4th Nov 2020

Asian Stocks Up, but Pare Earlier Gains Over Closer-Than-Expected U.S. Election
Asia Pacific stocks were mostly up on Wednesday morning, giving up some ground. Investors are on tenterhooks as votes are counted in the U.S. presidential election with no clear winner yet.

There were wide expectations that Biden would lead a Democrat sweep in the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives, reducing political risk and increasing the possibility of big stimulus packages to help the COVID-19-hit economy compared to a Trump re-election. However, these expectations were shaken with a closer race than expected and it could be several days before the result is announced. Trump won Indiana’s electoral votes, the first state to be decided.

In Australia, the ASX 100 was up 0.22% TO 6062, reversing earlier gains, despite the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announcing a monetary policy on Tuesday including an interest rate cut to 0.10% from 0.25% and the purchase of AUD100 billion ($71.10 billion) worth of government bonds by the RBA board.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index gained 0.40% to 24957, recovering from the shock of Ant Group Co. halting both the Shanghai and Hong Kong legs of a planned $35 billion dual listing on Tuesday, after a meeting with Chinese regulators.

China’s Shanghai Composite rose 0.20% to 3276.08, while the Shenzhen Composite was down 0.25%. October's Caixin Services Purchasing Manager index rose to 56.8, according to data released earlier in the day. The reading is up from September's 54.8 figure.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped 2.35% to 23,370, returning from a public holiday. South Korea’s KOSPI rose 0.77% TO 2352.11.

Asian shares rise as investors count on vaccine relief


Asian shares climbed on Monday, with a broad regional index touching a record high on hopes for imminent coronavirus vaccines, but worries over the impact of economic lockdowns and uncertainty over U.S. stimulus capped gains.



A top official of the U.S. government's vaccine development effort said Sunday that the first vaccines could be given to U.S. healthcare workers and others recommended by mid-December.

Despite the grim backdrop of accelerating COVID-19 infections in the United States, the forecast helped to raise hopes that lockdowns that have paralysed the global economy could be nearing an end.



Seoul's Kospi was 1.82% higher as an optimistic earnings outlook for South Korean chip giants drove gains.



Japanese markets were closed for a holiday, but NIKKEI futures added 0.19% to 25,795.



The regional index also got a boost from Australian shares which gained 0.51% as the country eased some COVID-19 restrictions. Most of the country has seen no new community infections or deaths in several weeks.



Chinese blue-chips added 0.69%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was an outlier, edging down 0.2%.

While most regional indexes were up on Monday, the sentiment was fragile as monetary and fiscal help for the U.S. economy remained elusive.



Mainland Chinese stocks were up by the early morning. The Shanghai Composite rose 1.26% to 3,419.45. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index inched up about 0.11% to 26,426.00.



Japan's benchmark Nikkei average. Nikkei 225 is trading down 0.42 per cent at 25,527.00 on Monday, while the broader TOPIX 100 rose 0.06 per cent at 1,727.48 . South Korea’s Kospi was up by 1.88% to 2,601.28.

Walmart on Monday launched a new free return pickup service – Carrier Pickup by FedEx – in an effort to take the hassle out of holiday season gift returns.
By using the new service, Walmart’s customers will be able to schedule a return for products bought online. The service is available via the company’s website and its app.

Customers can select the pickup either from their home or they can choose the drop off at FedEx and then carry the package to any FedEx location. Walmart’s Linne Fulcher said in a blog that the service would continue beyond the holiday season. Fulcher added, “The holidays are stressful enough. No matter how customers buy items we want the returns experience to be easy, safe, and seamless. We’re proud of the changes we’re making to take some of the stress – and those unwanted Christmas sweaters – off our customers’ backs.”

On Dec. 21, RBC Capital analyst Scot Ciccarelli upgraded WMT stock to Buy from Hold and raised the price target to $170 (16.5% upside potential) from $153.
Ciccarelli said that Walmart’s size, robust e-commerce channel, its ability to offer value to customers, and improving profitability in the US all support the bull call.

On the technical front, Walmart RSI stood at 43.945 the current price is trading below the Moving Average of 20 &50. So, a Sell trade can be executed with the following target and stop-loss:

TRADE SIGNAL- Walmart– Sell: 146.20, TARGET:145.20, STOP LOSS:146.70.
