The Presidential elections in the States is taking many twists and turns. U.S. stock expectations varied insignificantly but markets and investors were largely stoic as an angry first debate between U.S. presidential candidates ended on Tuesday. Republican President Donald Trump frequently disrupted Democratic rival, Joe Biden, in the Cleveland debate, the first ahead of the 3rd Nov. U.S. presidential election, that moved on Trump’s taxes, the economy, the coronavirus pandemic and election integrity. While wagering oddsmakers bestowed little change in the odds as the debate advanced, U.S. stock futures originally rose as much as 0.6% before turning to be flat.

Biden, 77, has held a steady lead over Trump, 74, in national opinion polls, although surveys in the battleground states that will decide the election show a closer contest. The dollar index against a basket of money was flat at 93.817. With more than a million Americans already calculating early ballots and time running out to change minds or influence the small sliver of undecided voters, the debate showed the men trading barbs rather than moving the needle on investor perception.

The first of three scheduled debates came at a filled moment on Wall Street. The S&P 500 tumbled around 10% from record highs this month before recently paring some of those losses as investors worried about a prolonged recovery from the coronavirus and uncertainty related to the presidential vote. Many investors view Biden as more likely to raise taxes and see a second term for Trump, who favors tax cuts and deregulation, as better for the overall stock market. At the same time, a Trump win could spark concerns over ramped up tensions between Washington and Beijing.
