Elections: More Buzz Than Bite

Matthew Allgood |

As elections approach, media noise and investor anxiety often rise, but historical data shows that market volatility in election years is nearly identical to non-election years. Markets tend to focus on fundamentals like interest rates, earnings, and inflation rather than political events. 

 

Elections may generate headlines, but they rarely have lasting impacts on overall market performance. We remain focused on long-term strategies and risk management while seeking to avoid reacting to election-related noise.
