Opinion polls in swing states suggest that Joe Biden’s chances of winning the US presidential election in November are rising, says Michael Cembalest, the top investment strategist at JP Morgan’s $2trn investment-managment arm. And the chances of the Democrats conducting a clean sweep of the presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate are now around 45%, according to political-betting markets. So investors need to consider the implications for US stocks if Biden (pictured below) and his party end up with full control for the next few years.
