The question of who moves into the White House for the next 4 years will finally be decided!
But for us, as traders, the more important question is, how would Trump or Clinton's presidency affect the markets?
Why is Trump means bad news for stocks?
Republican presidencies are no better or worse for stocks than the Democratic ones, but in case of Trump, there are some alarming signs that could spell trouble for stocks. His focus is the 'homeland' and the protection thereof, even if it comes at the price of somewhat isolating the US from the rest of the global economy.
If Clinton wins:
If she gains, a significant market reaction will be less likely. Nevertheless, a small relief rally can never be ruled out. On the other hand, if they continue to go head to head, Clinton's win could lead to a more significant stock market rally in terms of price moves.
If Trump wins:
Trump's win would have a major impact on stocks. It would be negative for stocks and to the US Dollar. This scenario would also likely produce a longer term impact, as it could see US economic policy redrawn. Currently, no one really expects Trump to win, and it is because of that his win could have an enormous effect on the financial markets.
Have a nice trades and be careful
