U.S. markets rally on eve of election – 2nd November

After falling to its lowest level since September on Friday, the S&P 500 rallied to start the week, as investor confidence rose ahead of tomorrow’s U.S. election.

The rally was also assisted by the news that manufacturing activity in the United States accelerated more than expected last month. As a result, the benchmark index bounced from its recent support level of 3,254.

Ahead of Tuesday’s election it is being reported that nearly 100 million Americans have already placed their votes, with polling still suggesting that Democratic candidate Joe Biden has a lead.

Many however believe that the race to the White House will be a tight contest, with the uncertainty expected to creep into markets. As of writing the S&P 500 was up 0.64%, Dow Jones climbed 1.40%, whilst the NASDAQ was down by just 0.24% after giving up gains from the morning session.
