Online trading company OANDA is offering traders to explore the intricate relationship between US Presidential elections and the global financial markets.
With President Joe Biden withdrawing from the presidential race, the US are set for an election without the incumbent president on the ballot card for the first time since 1968. Current Vice-President Kamala Harris will be the Democrat nominee to take on Donald Trump in November, and OANDA explores what this could mean for both traders and the financial markets.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump offer significantly different visions for USA’s future, and the outcome will have profound implications for both domestic and global policies.
