FX: Risk appetite after Trump's comments

US presidential candidate Donald Trump had to go through the most intense 48h of his capampaign over the weekend, suffering a Republican party backlash, following obscene remarks over women after a 2005 tape was leaked to the public.

The second live US presidential TV debate gets underway at 1GMT.

At this point, following a solid performance by Clinton in the first debate and taking into consideration the scandal Trump got into, the market is clearly pricing in another Clinton win in what has become the most embarrassing US presiential election in history.

As Reuters reports: "The pressure on the 70-year-old Trump at the debate will be intense. Not only must he parry attacks from Clinton and explain why he is a better alternative. He must also show an apologetic side to stop more Republican supporters from giving up on him."
