Which assets are impacted by the US
Election?
economic outlook, and market sentiment. Here's how different asset classes are typically affected:
Forex (FX)
- US Dollar (USD): Election uncertainty and policy shifts affect the US dollar crosses like EUR/USD, USD/JPY.
- Global Currencies: Currencies like the Euro and Yen, could experience volatility, driven by its effects on global trade, diplomacy, and economic growth.
Cryptocurrencies
- Bitcoin and Other Cryptos: Cryptocurrencies, being less regulated, are sensitive to policy changes.
Stricter regulations under a Trump administration could slow the market, while a Harris administration may support innovation, boosting growth and investment in digital assets.
Commodities
- Gold: The safe-haven asset tends to rise during election uncertainty as investors seek protection from market volatility.
- Oil and Energy: Energy prices are influenced by regulation, climate policies, and geopolitics. A Harris administration supporting renewables could lower fossil fuel demand.
