In the only recent precedent for a contested election, U.S. small-cap stocks bounced back from market volatility quicker than large-cap stocks in the S&P 500.Small-cap stocks are more levered to the U.S. economy. They also have less tech exposure than large caps, which mattered a lot around the dotcom bubble. For DataTrek, that also means it is easier to use small-caps to isolate the factors in late 2000 to see the impact that a contested presidential race had on U.S. equities.
A pro-business incoming president likely helped small-caps given their outsized exposure to U.S. economic growth versus large-caps. The S&P 500's gains were also more muted heading into year-end than the Russell amid its greater tech weighting and the overhang of weak fundamentals for that sector. The latter should snap back stronger once the winner becomes apparent, according to DataTrek, especially if Congress passes more fiscal stimulus to help spur U.S. consumer spending.From Election Day to the Supreme Court's decision in 2000, defensive sectors and asset classes, such as consumer staples and gold, outperformed as well. Sectors set to benefit from Republican policies – i.e. energy – also rallied through year-end.
