Is the post mid-term period a good one for US stocks?
Summary: Today, a last minute look at the odds shift in the US mid-term elections and whether we are facing a blue wave or even a "blue tsunami" in favour of the Democrats. We also put the magnifying class to the notion that the US mid-term elections are a good time to put money to work in the US stock market. Elsewhere, we dive into yesterday's wild market internals, the somewhat less wild macro and FX backdrop and much more. Today's pod is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
