 According to PredictIt, the odds of Trump winning the presidential election this year jumped by six points over the weekend, and an additional three points today, now close to 69%. From a market perspective, President Trump's policies have pointed to lower taxes, deregulation, and perhaps an increase in tariffs, and while investors have generally welcomed the pro-growth stance, some risk of inflation may also emerge under these policies. Today, U.S. equities close higher.
