A brief scan of the digital landscape reveals the following: there’s a bit of news about.

The US election kicks off tonight and the RBA is on deck this afternoon.

(There’s also been a reported terrorist attack in Vienna, while COVID-19 cases continue to surge globally).

ASX stocks aren’t exactly doing to equivalent of playing Eternal Flame on piano while explosions go off and police sirens wail in the background amid a Covid-curfew crackdown in Barcelona.

But with trading volumes down as punters focus on the ponies, one could argue the market is ‘playing through it’ with some aplomb.

Small caps led the rally, with the ASX Emerging Markets Index — which slumped six per cent last week — on track for its first two per cent gain since October 12.

US stock futures are pointing slightly higher ahead of Election Day, while the Aussie dollar is holding its gains above US70c as a bit of risk appetite returns to markets.
