Time to Talk Politics: Market Performance in a Presidential Election Year
As we delve into the intensifying presidential election season, every day brings us closer to November 5, Election Day. We're witnessing what appears to be an impending rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Given the months ahead until November, it's understandable for investors to feel uneasy about the potential effects of political events on the stock market and the broader economy.
The current political atmosphere is notably charged, influenced not only by the upcoming elections but also by contentious debates in Washington over issues like the budget, immigration, and foreign policy. This week, Brian and Ryan, we explore how investors can maintain equilibrium amidst the turbulence of this year's presidential election.
