Episode description

The most urgent task facing investors in the wake of the 2024 elections is figuring out how much of the Trump agenda, as broadly outlined on the campaign trail, will be put into effect.

A full and literal implementation across taxes, trade and immigration could have unwelcome consequences for the economy in both the short and long run. A more partial implementation, (which seemed to be anticipated by financial markets last week), could net out to be positive for stocks and negative for Treasuries in the short run. However, even this more restrained policy path would likely result in sharply-rising government debt and the potential, in some areas, for building economic and market risks. For this reason and because of the further run up in the U.S. equity valuations in the wake of the election, investors would be well advised to continue to rebalance portfolios both across asset classes and around the world.
