With less than two weeks to go before the U.S. presidential election, investors may be placing too much confidence in a decisive win by Democratic challenger Joe Biden as his lead in opinion polls narrows.

In betting markets, Trump’s chances of winning the election increased about 1 percentage point to 36.3% following Thursday’s debate, but Biden maintains a significant lead, with a 64.4% chance of winning the election, according to data from RealClearPolitics. Options prices suggest the ETF’s shares could log a one-day move of as much as 11% in either direction once the election results are out, according to calculations by Christopher Murphy, co-head of derivatives strategy at Susquehanna Financial Group.

Utility firms, tax-exempt municipal bonds, industrials and material stocks may also be vulnerable, said Justin Waring, investment strategist at UBS Global Wealth Management. Equity and interest-rate options “are pricing in that Biden wins the presidential election,” said Amy Wu Silverman, equity derivatives strategist at RBC Capital Markets. “They’re fairly complacent on that, as well as the idea of a ‘blue sweep.’”
