 Analysts at Noumra noted that the second presidential debate is coming up.

Key Quotes:

"Most polling results suggest that Clinton had “won” the first debate as she got a decent bump in most polls conducted since the debate.

Currently, FiveThirtyEight’s polls-only model is giving Clinton a 79.3% probability of winning the election, up from 54.8% before the first debate. The next major event will be the second presidential debate over the weekend on Sunday, 9 October, at 9pm EDT. This debate will take the form of a town hall meeting, in which half of the questions will come from audience members and the other half from the moderators. The debate will be closely watched by both the US electorate and markets. First reactions are likely to come from the FX markets overnight, but it will take several days to see how it affects the polls and the elections."
