Fiery Harris-Trump debate gives Wall Street little new insight
Published On Sep 11, 2024, 4:41 AM
Following a heated debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, investors reacted by adjusting their positions in the stock market. After the debate, betting markets indicated an increased likelihood of a Harris victory, which negatively impacted stocks associated with Trump, particularly Trump Media & Technology Group, which saw a 13% drop. In contrast, stocks related to solar energy, seen as potential beneficiaries of a Harris win, rose. The overall political landscape remains uncertain, with investors wary of broader economic factors such as potential interest rate cuts and a softening economy.
