Trump vs Clinton: impact on investors
Best outcome for US shares has been Democrat president with Republican House
DONALD Trump as the Republican candidate for president makes the outcome of the Nov 8 US presidential election of greater significance than normal. Many would see Mr Trump's divisive and demeaning comments about certain groups of people, short fuse and erratic nature as rendering him as unqualified to be US president. This note looks at the main issues and implications for investment markets.
How did it come to this?
This presidential election is very much a contest between an establishment candidate (Hillary Clinton) and a populist outsider (Mr Trump). There is much more at stake than in past US elections where the contest was between a centre right and centre left candidate.
