30 Jun The US presidential election – implications for investors
Key Points:
- The run up to the US election on 3rd November has the potential to see increased share market volatility if it looks increasingly likely Biden will win and if Trump ramps up tensions with China (and maybe Europe) in response. However, this is likely to be short lived as there is no reason to expect a weaker economy and hence share market under a Biden presidency.
- Historically, shares have performed better under Democrat than Republican presidents.
