“US stocks tumbled on Wednesday, ending sharply in the red,” said left-of-center CNN Business. “Investors worried about rising Covid-19 infection in parts of the country, quarantine requirements for intra-US travel and newly proposed tariffs on EU imports.”

CNN Business also said, “The three major stock indexes recorded their worst performance in nearly two weeks.

• The Dow ended 2.7%, or 710 points, lower. Not a single Dow stock ended in the green.
• The S&P 500 closed down 2.6%.
• The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.2%, just one day after logging a record closing high and its longest winning streak since December.”

Another left-of-center source, CNBC, will be our focus this evening. They’re reporting that several Wall Street analysts have issued warnings to their investors that a “a Biden presidency will not be good for the stock market.”

The featured focus is found after the left-right news headline recap, after two of our three market snapshots, and today’s quotable quotes. Newcomers note: the manufactured housing connected stocks at the closing bell follow the featured focus and related reports segments of each nightly report.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet

According to CNBC tonight is the following.

• Many Wall Street analysts are warning their clients that a Biden presidency will not be good for the stock market.
• The former Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee has pledged to roll back President Donald Trump’s signature tax cut legislation, which has boosted corporate profits.
• “This to me is a Biden move,” CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Wednesday as the market sold off. “When I see across the board selling today, that’s Biden … he sounds like another president that you get that is not favorable to capital. If that’s the case, I want to have a little cash.”

• Looking at data going back to 1951, Bank of America found that when the White House flipped from Republican to Democrat the S&P 500 underperformed over the following three months compared with when a Republican replaced a Democrat in the Oval Office.

“As Joe Biden’s lead over Trump in national and battleground polling has widened, several Senate races have become closer. We are changing our call and now predict the Democrats will take the Senate,” financial advisory firm Signum Global Advisors said on Tuesday.

 

 

Note that in the state-based data in the video above, the margin is much tighter in the key battleground states reported. It is often in the margin of error. Given that Democrats are often over-sampled in such polls, at the state level it may be a jump ball or an edge to incumbent Trump.

“Survey participants continue to think a Democratic sweep would be a negative event for the stock market, but see a Senate that’s tied between Republicans and Democrats as a neutral event for the stock market,” RBC found in its survey.

What these left-of-center sources aren’t saying is which side of the political aisle they are putting their thumb on the scales. Polling in 2016 were clearly wrong on their top-lines on numerous occasions, as the general election victory of Donald J. Trump reflected.

While the revelations of the Obama-Biden White House and FBI attempts to unseat President-elect and then President Trump are mostly being covered in center and right of center news sources now, when the general election spending opens up, expect the Trump Campaign to hammer at apparent corruption by the prior administration.

Additional insights are in the following.
