The Resurgence of the Trump Trade

Donald Trump`s chances of winning a second presidential term have increased due to a series of events this summer, including perceived missteps by President Biden and a sense of unity within the Republican party. This has led to a resurgence of the "Trump trade" in financial markets, with investors anticipating the potential impact of his policies on areas like interest rates, inflation, and corporate taxes. Trump has attempted to appeal to a broader base by moderating his stance and making overtures to the business community. While betting markets favor a Trump victory and a potential Republican sweep of Congress, these predictions should be viewed with caution. Nevertheless, the possibility of a Trump presidency and its potential consequences are increasingly influencing investor behavior.
