The race for the White House will come to an historic conclusion tonight. Most voting stations on the U.S. east coast will open their doors at 7 a.m. ET, with the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida among the first to close. The last round of national polls showed Clinton with a steady but narrow lead over Trump, but this has been one of the most unpredictable campaigns in modern history
Traders expect markets to fall sharply if Trump wins, with Mexican stocks and bonds likely to suffer the most. There are some, though, who think that his low-tax policies and his promise to invest in infrastructure would eventually spur market sentiment. A victory by Clinton would likely lift markets in the short term, but there is little certainty that the rally would last, especially if her victory is a narrow one that increases polarization in Washington.
Crude prices will rebound much less than expected in the next four years, according to OPEC’s annual World Oil Outlook, forecasting that oil demand won’t rise as quickly as once thought and petroleum supplies will be resilient. The 14-nation group will account for much of the world’s growing oil production, however, its share of the global market will increase as U.S. output from shale fields slows down.
