Preliminary U.S. midterm results favor Democrats; the 10-year Treasury yield
slid from about 4.97% earlier to roughly 4.89%, its lowest since early
September. U.S. stock index futures sold off and the dollar weakened to its
weakest level since late September. ITC Markets FX strategist said FX moves are
intensifying: Swiss franc +0.8%, euro +0.6% vs the dollar, yen +0.5% vs the
dollar.
