The Weekly Five
Election Digestion
We’re 81 days away from the midterms, but capital markets have had a dress rehearsal for the actual event following a series of primary outcomes at the congressional and gubernatorial levels. Wealth Management CIO Eric Freedman goes beyond the headlines to discuss insights for investors in this Weekly Five.
- How much are markets focused on recent domestic election activity?
- What are prediction markets suggesting about election outcomes, and how reliable are they relative to traditional polling data?
- To that end, are markets anticipating potential split-government results as a positive for capital markets?
- How does this all tie back to your investment outlook?
- How did markets digest this week’s inflation data, and what does the data suggest about what’s ahead?
