2024 US Election: Market Volatility & Liquidity Risks

Author: Content Editor
As the 2024 US presidential election approaches, brokers are preparing for potential market disruptions and liquidity issues that could arise due to extreme volatility. Liquidity challenges can result in price spikes, outages, and erroneous liquidations of client positions. The race between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris is extremely close, leading to uncertainty and unexpected market movements. Trump is seen as more market-friendly, while a Harris victory could lead to increased regulation and higher corporate taxes. The market is expected to react sharply regardless of the election outcome, and brokers are enhancing their market analysis tools to anticipate increased trading activity. While brokers benefit from higher volatility, there are also risks such as increased margin calls and liquidity challenges. Brokers must work with multiple liquidity providers, implement risk management strategies, and ensure reliable technology to handle the surge in transactions. Traders tend to become cautious before major events like elections, but some may seize opportunities through short-term trading in higher volatility. Both brokers and traders need to be prepared for the potential risks and opportunities presented by market volatility during the US presidential election.
