MNI POLITICAL RISK - US Targets Gaza Truce After Sinwar Death

Daily round-up of news from the US.
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletPower BulletsStoryEnergy BulletsBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

Executive summary:

  • Both presidential candidates are on the trail in Michigan today. Vice President Kamala Harris will speak in Grand Rapids. Former President Donald Trump will hold a roundtable in Auburn Hills.
  • President Biden embarks on his whistle-stop one-day tour of Berlin today, likely his final trip to Europe as commander-in-chief. He will deliver remarks to the press with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at 06:00 ET 11:00 BST, before holding a trilateral meeting with Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 08:15 ET 13:15 BST.
  • Biden's first to Berlin as President is a largely symbolic gesture to recognise Germany’s central role in leading European support for Ukraine. There are not expected to be any major policy announcements or changes to long-range missile restrictions on Ukraine.
  • Biden and Harris both issued statements renewing calls for a ceasefire in Gaza following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
  • White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan noted that a "major obstacle has been removed" but conceded “I have long since given up on making predictions or drawing timelines," about a ceasefire.
  • Both Harris and Trump may opt to keep FTC Commissioner Lina Khan in place after the election.
  • The Biden administration announced yesterday that it had granted student loan relief to more than 1 million public service workers. 
  • Poll of the Day: Harris' support among Black voters edges up.
