US Market View
It is an earnings season, with Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Alphabet all reporting after the close. The earnings again come only a day after some of their CEOs were in Congress, the timing thus sparing them the embarrassment of having to defend their monopoly profits at a time of widespread hardship across the economy. The U.S. economy grew at its fastest rate since records began in the third quarter, reversing much but by no means all - of the output lost in the second quarter under the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The figures, while spectacular, are essentially backward-looking and exaggerated by the habit of annualizing GDP data. They reflect the reopening of many businesses in the summer after government-mandated stay-at-home orders had crippled both manufacturing and services output in the spring.

- ECB's Jochnick supports that the possibility of a double-dip recession cannot be ruled out yet
