Fasten your seatbelt for a busy week

JULIUS BAER
About this episode

A busy week ahead with key events including the US presidential election, the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, and China's National People's Congress meeting to name but a few. The latest Iowa poll shows Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump, despite him winning the state in 2016 and 2020. The US Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 25bps on Wednesday. Among the 300 major companies reporting earnings are weight-loss company NovoNordisk and luxury group Richemont. Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis, notes that in the past a Democratic president and a divided Congress have produced the best returns, if history is any guide.

07:43 Technical Analysis update – Focus on US election by Mensur Pocinci (Head of Technical Analysis)
