On Wall Street, the S&P 500 snapped a seven-day winning streak after coming within reach of its all-time peak hit in February just before the global outbreak of the COVID-19. “We have enormous uncertainty. It appears it’s getting harder for both sides to compromise as the election is nearing... Trump’s proposals would be smaller than markets have expected.

President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia had become the first country to grant regulatory approval to a COVID-19 vaccine after less than two months of human testing. The most dramatic move took place in gold, which suffered its biggest daily fall in seven years on Tuesday. On Wednesday, it fell another 1% to $1,891.
