Singapore: In-person event
US elections and the macro & market implications
Wednesday 16th October
Fairmont Singapore, 80 Bras Basah Rd, 189560
The outcome of the upcoming US elections remains highly uncertain. Given the stark difference between the politics of both presidential candidates, it could have wide-ranging and long-lasting consequences for the global economy and markets. The geopolitics involved are also particularly important for Asia, given the growing rivalry between the US and China.
We’re delighted to invite you to join our economist team on Wednesday 16th October for this exclusive, in-person roundtable to discuss this year’s big risk events and help you factor it into your decision-making.
Join the discussion and get your macro and markets questions answered, including:
- What different election scenarios mean for the US economic outlook;
- What the implications will be for Asia and the rest of the global economy;
- How financial markets are likely to respond.
