Impact of Global Elections on Incumbents and Markets

Recent global elections have demonstrated a significant trend, where approximately 80% of incumbents lost seats or votes, highlighting a shift in political dynamics. This phenomenon has influenced not only the political landscape but also the capital markets, with economists expressing increased expectations for growth in 2025 while projecting inflation and interest rates to rise. The U.S. presidential election, a focal point for both U.S. and international audiences, has prompted changes in market behavior and forecasts, resulting in a stronger dollar and anticipation of strong near-term economic performance. Thus, the electoral outcomes have critical implications for how markets are expected to evolve in the following years, particularly in relation to growth and inflation pressures.
