A useful review of FX, gold, and equity price moves during and since the US Trump Clinton election debate

We did this yesterday on ForexLive, focusing on the move in the Mexican peso:

  • MXN extending its gains
  • and again in the session wrap-up: ForexLive Asia FX news: Mexican peso surges during US debate

Not everyone agrees with the financial market judgement though, plenty opting for a Trump win here:

  • Poll time! Who won the debate? Trump or Clinton?

Of course, I thought the clear winner was ...

  • Did Fibonacci win the US election presidential debate? (Here's proof!)

:-D

Anyway, back to the WSJ:

  • Currencies, gold and some individual stocks had sharp moves Tuesday that suggested Mrs. Clinton was the victor. After months of conjecture, investors now have a real-world template for what may rise and fall as the election approaches and the candidates' fortunes shift.

Let me just bold this bit:

  • investors now have a real-world template for what may rise and fall

That's something to watch for in coming weeks for trading opportunities.

The WSJ article is here, it may be gated.
