Capitalizing on US Election Market Dynamics

  • Market consensus hints at a potential Biden-Trump electoral rematch, but the political scene is fluid, with the possibility of rapid changes. Relying on historical stock market behavior during elections can offer investors a more solid foundation for decision-making.
  • Election years typically see a positive uptick in the performance of U.S. stocks and bonds, with the S&P 500 often ending higher, as evidenced by gains in 19 out of the last 23 election years.
  • Investors can seek to benefit from the expected market shifts during U.S. election cycles, especially the 2024 presidential race, while remaining mindful of the underlying unpredictability of these patterns through a 100% Minimum Redemption Digital Coupon Note with SPX as underlying.
