In Menon’s latest commentary, released Nov 1, he points to five things to “keep in mind” as the US goes to the polls this week.
So much has been said in recent weeks about the US presidential election, and it no doubt remains top of mind among investors this week, writes Vasu Menon, managing director of investment strategy at OCBC. “Markets are nervous and waiting with bated breath for the outcome.”
Menon himself had opined about the impact of Donald Trump’s shooting in July, adding later that month that a Kamala Harris win would be good for markets. After the two US presidential nominees faced off in their first debate on the morning of Sept 11, Singapore time, Menon said the debate “would not move the needle” as neither candidate had come out as a clear winner.
