The US presidential election is one of the most closely watched events in the calendar. Political polls currently point to a comfortable win for Joe Biden. However, it is not only who wins the election that matters to investors. There is also uncertainty if the Senate vote result will end in a ‘blue sweep’ or a divided congress. With market volatility predicted from now until the inauguration in January, it is hard to predict how the results will affect the US economy and trade with the wider world.
At our webinar Schroders’ Chief Economist, Keith Wade, will look at how the outcome of the election could cause one of the biggest policy swings in U.S. history. He will discuss the health of the US economic recovery and what a win for either side could do for business, tax, shares and the strength of the dollar.
