Trump is currently polling ahead of Harris, but the margin is “not significant”, writes Menon in a July 22 note, and things could change. “Trump is getting a lot of positive media publicity and may be ahead in opinion polls for now, but there are no guarantees he will win. Opinion polls can swing.”
Kamala Harris winning the coming US Presidential elections will be good for markets, says Vasu Menon, managing director of investment strategy at OCBC.
Menon, who wrote last week that the attempted assassination of US Presidential candidate Donald Trump “has boosted his chances of victory significantly”, now thinks Harris could make it “much harder for Trump to win”. Granted, that is contingent on Harris being officially nominated at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) between Aug 19 and 22.
