Summary: We see a closer than expected race for the US presidential election which take place next week. Here we provide our long-term analysis, together with the recent headlines.
Our long term analysis: Close to zero impact next four years from who becomes President. Both Biden and Trump have zero willingness or ability to “heal” the US. The 2022 midterm election is already key. The Democratic young-and-left rising fast as voice, while MAGA movement remains in some form after a Trump loss. Either way, it all adds up to more social unrest. I see Biden as a Carter-like President. Full of good intentions after the disaster of President Nixon’s Watergate and the first oil crisis. But external factors (US losing 5G – AI race) will leave US in open discussion on finding its true values and roots.
