Markets Gaining Clarity as Election Unfolds

November 4, 2020

 

While the outcome of the 2020 presidential race remains undecided as of today, ClearBridge Co-Chief Investment Officer Scott Glasser explains in a Franklin Templeton 2020 Election Investment Pulse panel that election results so far have removed several key risks for equities, most notably the threat of higher taxes from a Democratic sweep. Initial market reaction has been positive, indicating a preference for a divided government that is still likely to pass an additional stimulus bill.
