Trump’s Possible Victory Ahead: How Gold and Bitcoin are reacting and Potentially Affecting US Market
With the presidential election less than a week away, investors are cautiously hedging their bets in anticipation of the outcome. The potential victory of former President Donald Trump, according to some analyses, could significantly impact the US economy and the markets. Let’s delve into how gold and Bitcoin are reacting to this political shift and what parts of the market could likely benefit or suffer.
Market Reactions
Gold and Bitcoin on the Rise
In the finance world, gold (GC=F) and Bitcoin (BTC-USD) are trading higher due to the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election.
According to Eric Diton, president and managing director of The Wealth Alliance, "gold, probably Bitcoin as well, have further to go because we just don’t have a plan as a country to deal with this $35 trillion in debt and growing." Diton’s insights underscore the market’s expectation of economic instability post-election.
Bond Market Indicators
While gold and Bitcoin are in play, Diton suggests that the bond market is a core area of interest. He laments, "the ten-year treasury yield rose after the Federal Reserve announced the 50 basis point cut in September," indicating that institutional and smart money is expressing concerns and choosing to stay on the sidelines.
Possible Wins’ Impact on Markets
Best for Trump Scenario
A potential Trump victory could dumb down pressure on domestic retailers and benefit sectors like fossil fuels, traditional energy, and gun stocks. The portfolio manager predicts that these companies could stand to gain from possible corporate tax cuts. Domestic retailers and fossil fuels are likely touted as the "winners" in a Trump presidency due to his business-friendly administration.
Kamala Harris’ Potential
On the other hand, a Harris administration could crack a different narrative, particularly in the healthcare sector. Given Harris’ aspirations to broaden Medicaid and Medicare benefits, the healthcare market could see a significant boost.
