Comment

We expect some volatility as the vote counting continues and whilst markets may react well to Biden, it is possible that a 'hung' government could be place with no majority in either the Senate, Congress or both.  If votes swing to Biden expect market rises, if votes swing to Trump expect volatility. 

Then it is back to covid-19 and globally all sorting the spread, reduction and cure.  That should be all governments priorities.
