"I think the coronavirus is going to stay front and center until we get literally a couple of weeks away from the election," Scott Bauer, CEO of Prosper Trading Academy says in our latest OpenMarkets Roundtable above.
Bauer joined Jim Iuorio, Managing Director for TJM Institutional Services and CME Group Senior Economist Erik Norland for a discussion about whether the U.S. election will reclaim its usual spot as the top news driver for financial markets.
In 2016, the S&P 500 saw major volatility in the immediate aftermath of the November election with E-mini S&P 500 futures dropping 6% before recovering later that day. That was largely due to the surprise result. Bauer says market volatility this time around could be lower because the two candidates represent better known agendas than did President Trump in 2016.
"That unknown is now removed from the equation. We've had four years. We know what (the President's) agenda is like. I don't see the massive volatility we saw in 2016," he says."
While the campaign may not bring about high levels of volatility, the possibility of a new spike in virus cases hangs over the U.S. and other economies.
"The big question is ‘do we have a second flareup of it?'," says Norland. " That could have very significant consequences for equity markets."
