There is a stark difference in the data shown by multiple pollsters, making things more confusing and interesting at the same time. Therefore, the US stock market, which is quite dependent on a Presidential election, is finding it very hard to sway with the wind, due to this massive political uncertainty.

Are things at the US stock market troubled due to the Presidential elections?

Earlier, when Joe Biden was still the candidate for the Democratic Party, things were going quite strong for the Republican candidate Donald Trump as he was observed to be nearly steamrolling the sitting President in the first US presidential debate, that nearly forced Biden to exit the presidential race and Harris was inducted in his place instead. During that period, the US stock market was responding well towards the swing in favor of the Republican Party but as soon as Harris joined the election race, things became much more complicated as pollsters kept drawing conclusions that placed both the candidates in a complete deadlock.

Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, Tesla, Apple are some of the major US stocks that have responded according to the US election trend in recent times, and is expected to continue to do so until the end of the year, suggest reports.
