IG Trading the Markets: https://www.ig.com/uk/trading-podcast...

With the US presidential election just a matter of weeks away, do the markets give us any clear idea of the likely outcome? Will Covid-19 disrupt the process so much that the result may be challenged in court?

In this episode, we are joined by two guests: Jonathan Wood, director of global risk analysis at Control Risks and Michael Gayed portfolio manager at Toroso Asset Management and author of the Lead-Lag Report. The guests discuss the potential election outcomes, market volatility and the massive amounts of debt in the current financial system.

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Markets are jittery on the eve of a very divided US election. They won't judge candidates, but there are signs of high volatility and different scenarios, with COVID19, social unrest, division, economic woes, and all together have a significant impact on markets. This election cycle has resulted in mistrust on media, and pundits' opinions on all sides. Uncertainty rules.
