Harris vs. Trump – The Clash That Will Define America's Future

Although the election will take place on November 5, 2024, the campaign has already garnered immense public interest. The clash between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican leader Donald Trump will not only be a battleground for ideological differences but also a significant test for American democracy. The outcome of this election will have a direct impact on global financial markets, as the candidates represent contrasting approaches to both domestic and foreign policy.

Kamala Harris – A Push for Progressive Reforms

Kamala Harris, as a potential future president, could have a substantial influence on financial markets through her political and economic priorities. Her inclination towards progressive reforms, including stricter regulations in the financial sector and support for green energy, may affect investments, particularly in the technology and energy sectors. Her efforts to reduce social inequalities could also lead to changes in the labor market and consumer behavior, which may ultimately affect the overall economic outlook.

Donald Trump – A Policy That Encourages Market Volatility

Donald Trump's actions in the areas of deregulation, tax cuts, and aggressive trade strategies could benefit certain industries but also introduce greater volatility into the markets. His unpredictability in foreign policy may significantly influence global trade relations and investor confidence, potentially resulting in mixed outcomes for the global economy.
