“Bookies have seen a flurry of bets over the last few days on the tycoon being re-elected into the White House in the Y 2020 elections“– Paul Ebeling
Analysts at JPM (NYSE:JPM) said in a note Tuesday that risk markets in the 1st 2 wks of October were supported by a widening of US Presidential odds, implying a lower probability of a close or contested election, but over the past wk, those odds started narrowing again. The the odds of GOP control of the House, Senate and White House have ticked up.
That could pressure risk markets with negative implications for the so-called “value trade,” which is seeing a steepening yield curve and prospective shift towards traditional cyclical stocks like banks.
