Final messages to voters from Harris and Trump as America prepares to cast their ballots tomorrow

With just one day remaining before the pivotal U.S. Presidential election, market activity has slowed as investors await the outcome of voters’ decisions.

Candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are making their final campaign stops across battleground states, delivering last messages in a race that remains tight. With over 75 million Americans having already voted, both campaigns are focusing on swing states that could determine the final outcome.

Trump currently holds a slight lead in Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, while Harris is polling stronger in Michigan and Wisconsin. In these closing days, the candidates have sharpened their rhetoric, with Harris labeling Trump as increasingly unstable and fixated on revenge. Trump, meanwhile, claims his potential victory would “liberate” the country, which he describes as “occupied.”

In her final appeal, Harris pledged to cut taxes for over 100 million Americans, lower the cost of living, and immediately work to end the Gaza conflict if elected. Trump countered with promises of robust economic growth, a revival of the American Dream, and a rapid reduction of inflation by rolling back restrictions on energy production and expanding oil drilling into the Arctic.

The U.S. administration has cautioned about potential foreign interference aimed at destabilizing the country during this transition period. Officials are prepared to counter any threats, especially given the heightened polarization within the country.

Increased market volatility is expected before, during, and after the election, although the impact may be short-lived as markets refocus on core economic drivers once the election shockwave settles. Traders will also turn attention to key events this week, with anticipated 25-basis-point interest rate cuts from both the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, setting the stage for active market conditions.
