Elections, interest rates and markets

Key Takeaways

 

  • A record number of people head to polls in 2024 and we’ve seen high levels of volatility in markets.
  • We assess the implications of Trump and Biden wins at November’s US elections.
  • In Europe, right wing parties made gains in recent elections, but we are not expecting a financial crisis.
  • Polls suggest a convincing Labour win in the upcoming UK election.  We don’t foresee a big impact on UK markets or monetary policy.
