The trading week is set to start with financial markets reacting to the assassination attempt made on Donald Trump in the US on Saturday. Traders are expecting to see some flow into traditional haven products to kick off the week but will also note that the odds on a second term for the former President have picked up already and will look to price that into positioning as the week progresses.
Asian markets are expecting some sharp moves on the back of what has occurred in the US on the weekend and moves could be exacerbated with Japanese markets on holiday.
