US elections monitor: policy impact

Allianz Global Investors

All eyes will be on the US elections in November – but the implications for markets could be quite different depending on who wins. We analyse the policies of the two presumptive nominees and find a Donald Trump presidency could cause a bigger market reaction in the near term, assuming a divided government.

Key takeaways

- We see three main channels in which the policies of President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump will impact markets: economic growth, inflation and demand for safe-haven assets.
- We find a Trump presidency could mean weaker international and US equities, but support for the US dollar and gold, with the implications for US Treasuries less clear.
- As Mr Biden is the incumbent, the impact on asset valuations from his second term may be more neutral, with possible support for US equities and commodities.
- Regardless of who wins, we expect a limited market impact from fiscal policy as many of the tax cuts Mr Trump pushed through in 2017 may not be renewed after they expire.
