A higher risk of a split U.S. Congress and a contested election is being factored into some market analysts' models after some odds on the Presidential election have shown a narrowing.

European betting exchange Paddypower said on Wednesday that while Biden was clearly “odds-on” to win, over the last few days “punters have started backing Trump again.” Paddypower gives Biden a more than 60% chance of winning, versus Trump at around 40%, and says that the odds have narrowed. That could pressure risk markets with negative implications for the so-called “value trade,” which is seeing a steepening yield curve and prospective shift towards traditional cyclical stocks like banks, said the JPM analysts.

I love it! (EAT HIM UP!)

Are you an unbiased news agency or a DNC mouthpiece? Shame on you!

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN… Elect someone who does NOT panic and go into denial about COVID-19!

This is a Biden post campaign? realDonaldTrump
