Harris Gains Edge in Betting Markets After Combative Debate With Trump

The recent debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris provided little clarity on key policy issues for investors, despite betting markets favoring Harris afterwards. While the debate was heated, with clashes over various topics, it lacked concrete details on market-moving issues like tariffs and taxes. Some observers felt Harris performed better, potentially influencing asset prices in the coming days if her chances of winning the presidency are perceived as improved. However, immediate reactions in asset prices were muted, with some believing the debate`s impact will be minimal due to the close race and existing voter division. Despite this, others suggest even small shifts in perception could be significant in such a tight election. Overall, the debate`s impact on markets remains uncertain.
