Equity markets await the stimulus boost
Monday 26th October '20
Last time a US fiscal stimulus was introduced in March, it proved to be an important factor in causing the markets to turn. Markets are waiting in anticipation for the next round of fiscal stimulus which will, yet again, be a crucial driver for asset prices going forward – whether it comes before or after the US elections. With markets becoming increasingly fixated on daily developments on the stimulus deal, delays before a concrete announcement is made may drive volatility in equity markets in the short term.
