SQUAWK BOX, FRIDAY 6TH NOVEMBER, 2020

The delayed result of the U.S. presidential election still hinges on several key states with vote-counting coming down to the wire. President Trump has doubled down on claims of electoral fraud by the Democrats, despite his campaign losing two legal challenges. The race in Georgia is virtually tied and Pennsylvania remains too close to call. Democrat candidate Joe Biden has urged for calm while ballots continue to be tallied. U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell has urged for political consensus in Washington on agreeing a fiscal stimulus programme. The Dow and S&P continue to rally, gaining more than one per cent for four consecutive days. Subsequently, it’s been the best week for major markets since April.
