The stock market may face significant volatility if the 2024 Presidential election results are not swiftly determined, Goldman Sachs has cautioned.
What Happened: The investment bank issued a note on Friday, highlighting the potential risk of a prolonged election outcome, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-volatility-risk-impact-presidential-election-trump-biden-winner-2024-5">reported</a> Business Insider. The note pointed out that the closeness of the race between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump could lead to a prolonged period of uncertainty, impacting the stock market.
The bank also noted that the candidates&#8217; differing economic and fiscal policies could result in varying investment strategies across Wall Street. If the election outcome remains uncertain after the Nov. 5 election date, this could lead to a surge in market volatility as investors wait to determine which stocks to invest in.
&#8220;In 23 states — including the swing states of Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — provisions exist for automatic or mandatory recounts if the margin between the top two candidates is within certain parameters, typically 0.5%,&#8221; Goldman Sachs&#8217; strategist David Kostin explained.
Meanwhile, in 41 states, a losing candidate can request a recount if they believe they were harmed due to fraud or errors in vote counting.
Considering the similarities to the 2020 election with the same candidates and tight polls, it&#8217;s reasonable to expect that the winner of the upcoming election won&#8217;t be decided on election night but rather through a prolonged process.
This presents a significant risk for investors. According to Goldman Sachs, the timing of the election outcome, rather than the actual winner, is the crucial factor to watch.

Why It Matters: This warning from Goldman Sachs aligns with previous predictions about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37863401/ubs-predicts-stock-market-turbulence-ahead-of-biden-vs-trump-election">impact of the 2024 presidential election on the stock market</a>. UBS had also forecasted significant market implications due to the stark policy differences between the two candidates, suggesting that the next eight months leading up to the election could be disruptive for investors.
Moreover, the potential for a drawn-out election could further exacerbate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38590992/sell-in-may-and-go-away-does-the-trading-strategy-hold-up-in-election-years">traditionally volatile period</a> in the stock market. As we enter May, the old Wall Street adage &#8220;sell in May and go away&#8221; is finding its way back into the conversations of traders and investors. The strategy suggests that the stock market tends to underperform from May through October compared to the November through April period.
On the other hand, the election year could also present <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/23/12/36416440/why-buy-stocks-in-a-presidential-election-year-history-has-a-crazy-stat-for-you">opportunities for investors</a>. History shows that presidential election years have historically been positive for the stock market, with the S&amp;P 500 gaining an average of 6.5% during these years.
Additionally, the election is expected to have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38515952/us-presidential-election-impact-on-ipo-market-timing">significant impact on the IPO market</a>. The resurgence of initial public offerings is expected to experience a brief slowdown around the election, with some IPOs being pushed to late 2024 or even into 2025.

Warren Buffett-backed Chinese EV maker&nbsp;BYD Co&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>),&nbsp;is preparing for the global debut of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38352429/warren-buffett-backed-byd-names-cybertruck-challenger-shark-with-plug-in-hybrid-system-for-extra-bit" rel="noreferrer noopener">its first pickup truck</a>, the BYD Shark, in Mexico on May 14.
What Happened: As reported by&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/05/07/byd-shark-pickup-to-debut-mexico-may-14/" rel="noreferrer noopener">CnEVPost</a>, the BYD Shark is BYD&#8217;s first new model to debut overseas in recent years. The company announced the launch on Weibo.
The decision to launch the BYD Shark in Mexico indicates the company&#8217;s focus on foreign markets, as pickup trucks in China are classified as light vans and face numerous restrictions compared to regular passenger cars.
See Also:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-chinese-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">5 Best Chinese Stocks Right Now</a>
With its larger size compared to the&nbsp;Toyota Hilux, the BYD Shark is built on BYD&#8217;s DMO platform, introduced when the company launched the&nbsp;Fang Cheng Bao&nbsp;sub-brand for the off-road market in August 2023.
BYD&#8217;s move mirrors the actions of&nbsp;other&nbsp;local automakers like&nbsp;Geely, which launched its first model, the RD6 electric pickup truck, under the Radar brand in July 2022.
Why It Matters: BYD last month revealed the name of its electric pickup truck, a potential challenger to Tesla&#8217;s Cybertruck, and said it would come equipped with a plug-in hybrid system.&nbsp;
BYD&#8217;s move into the pickup truck market is part of a broader strategy to diversify its product offering.&nbsp;This&nbsp;was evident when&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38422754/warren-buffet-backed-byd-takes-on-luxury-ev-market-with-new-premium-sedan-posing-direct-challenge-fo" rel="noreferrer noopener">BYD unveiled</a>&nbsp;its premium brand&#8217;s first sedan at the Beijing auto show, directly challenging luxury automakers like Mercedes-Benz.&nbsp;
A leading U.S. manufacturing lobby group has issued a stark warning, describing the entry of Chinese EV makers into the American market as a potential &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37313622/chinese-ev-entry-could-trigger-extinction-level-event-for-us-auto-industry-report-warns" rel="noreferrer noopener">extinction-level event</a>&#8221; for the U.S. auto sector. Despite tariffs preventing Chinese automakers from entering U.S. roads thus far, the lobby group has raised alarms about Chinese firms&#8217; investments in plants in nearby Mexico, which could facilitate&nbsp;easier&nbsp;access to the U.S. market.

After&nbsp;Geoff Duncan, former Lt. Governor of Georgia and a prominent Republican,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33840112/georgia-poised-to-level-charges-against-trump-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">shifted allegiance to President&nbsp;</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33840112/georgia-poised-to-level-charges-against-trump-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Biden</a>,&nbsp;Donald&nbsp;Trump&#8216;s&nbsp;niece&nbsp;Mary&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;weighed&nbsp;in on its implications for the Republican Party.
What Happened:&nbsp;Duncan&#8217;s&nbsp;surprising endorsement of the president and scathing rebuke of Donald Trump in an op-ed for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution signals waning support for the former president, according to Mary Trump.&nbsp;
Praising&nbsp;Duncan&#8217;s&nbsp;choice as&nbsp;&#8220;country over party,&#8221;&nbsp;she highlighted his decision to&nbsp;&#8220;vote for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass.&#8221;
Mary Trump emphasized that&nbsp;Duncan&#8217;s&nbsp;move was not that of a liberal but of a&nbsp;&#8220;lifelong Republican,&#8221;&nbsp;describing him as&nbsp;&#8220;extremely conservative.&#8221;&nbsp;She applauded his courage to cross party lines, calling it a&nbsp;&#8220;brave&#8221;&nbsp;departure from the&nbsp;GOP&#8217;s&nbsp;typical strategy of unwavering loyalty.

&#8220;This break with Donald — and the party — is a sign of more positive things to come,&#8221;&nbsp;Mary Trump said.&nbsp;&#8220;Duncan's&nbsp;announcement is a reminder that it&nbsp;is possible to cross party lines for the greater good,&nbsp;a message that should resonate with anyone who genuinely cares about our country, regardless of their political&nbsp;affiliation&#8221;
She stressed the possibility of more Republicans feeling dissatisfied with Donald Trump as their nominee.&nbsp;&#8220;We need many more Republicans to drop their toxic&nbsp;absolutism,&nbsp;and follow his lead,&#8221;&nbsp;Mary Trump said.
Why It&#8217;s Important: With Trump and Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38630115/trump-vs-biden-latest-polls-dont-bode-well-for-one-candidate-in-tight-presidential-race" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in a &#8220;too-close-to-call&#8221; race</a>, sentiment toward both candidates among registered voters is mixed. 
Biden faces criticism for his economic policies, age, and handling of immigration, while Trump&#8217;s extreme stance and legal troubles, including pending cases related to the 2020 election, have soured sentiments. 
Some voters perceive Trump as a threat to democracy, particularly in light of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33851310/donald-trump-election-fraud-probe-georgia-grand-jury-reportedly-issues-10-indictments" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">criminal charges in Georgia</a> for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
In&nbsp;the event of&nbsp;a deadlock, sentiment in key swing states will play a crucial&nbsp;role,&nbsp;as both parties focus their campaign efforts on these pivotal regions.

OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap has revealed that the startup's biggest consumer product so far, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chatgpt">ChatGPT</a>, is not a "long-term" engagement model.
What Happened: During an <a href="https://milkeninstitute.org/panel/15625/part-1-conversation-openai-coo-brad-lightcap">interaction</a> at the Milken Institute's 27th Global Conference, Lightcap dived into the future of AI models and how they are going to evolve from what we have now.
On what to expect from the Microsoft Corp.-backed (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) OpenAI in the next 12 months, Lightcap said the possible advancements in AI are immense.
"The kind of term-based, almost an oracle-like system that ChatGPT is today, we don't see it as a long-term engagement model for what these systems can do and how they're going to be used."
"We're going to move toward a world where they are… going to be capable of taking much more complex work," Lightcap added, explaining that AI models will change the way we work and do other things.

"They will have a much more assistive relationship with users. They'll almost be kind of a great teammate."
AI's impact on work and friendships will be immense, according to him.
"I don't think people today understand what that looks like and internalize it easily."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Will One Day Be A Standup Comedian, Says Lightcap</h2>
Although AI models now have evolved from being just rudimentary chatbots to ones that can do some level of reasoning now, Lightcap says we're "just scratching the surface" of what is possible.
"A kid born today will look back in 10 years from now… it will be foreign [to them] that you can't talk to your computer the way you can talk to your friend."
Lightcap added that AI models will move away from just being text-based systems that they are today, to verbal, vision-based multi-modal ones.
"We talked a little about an AI that hits kind of a comedic quality. Can AI be a standup comedian? I think it can."
