Next year is going to be a big year for US tax policy because there’s so many tax revisions that are expiring.

The US presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is entering its final weeks. The result may have a distinct impact on select sectors and industries, as well as regions, currencies, and commodities. However, some of those market impacts may be counterintuitive.

In our new investor’s guide to the election, we identify the big issues driving this election, assess the primary differences between each candidate’s policy platform, and highlight the potential implications for the financial markets.

  • Immigration
  • Energy
  • Defense
  • Health care
  • Housing
  • Fiscal, tax, and regulatory policies
  • The Federal Reserve
