2152 GMT - For investors in Australian stocks, the best U.S. election outcome is a Republican sweep of government, says Macquarie. It names James Hardie, Computershare, Treasury Wine Estates and BlueScope Steel among the likely beneficiaries, albeit a Republican sweep appears partly discounted by equities markets already. "The risks under a Republican Sweep are higher bond yields (also partly in the market already) and the negative impacts of tariffs (a headwind for ex-U.S. equities)," Macquarie says. Tariffs could be a headwind for Orora, Reliance Worldwide and Reece, it contends. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
