The shift in Wisconsin is changing the narrative
Smarkets have now pared Trump’s odds of winning to even i.e. 50%, after having it around 71% from about an hour ago. Elsewhere, Betfair is now seeing odds of a Biden win at 8/11 after having Trump as favourite at 2/5 earlier.
Meanwhile, the market is still keeping more choppy with European stocks having pared opening losses earlier to post modest gains, only to give that all away again now.
S&P 500 futures are still up by 0.3% for the time being but risk appetite is fragile.
Update (1032 GMT): Smarkets now give Biden a 55% chance of winning.
The market has a lot to say, just pay attention and you will find loads of useful information. For example, the principle “Do not add to your positions unless the markets prove it”. This is shockingly true in the Futures markets. The players in the futures markets are generally those with high risk appetite. Most of the time they are well equipped, skilled and well informed. It is not a surprise that they are correct most of the time.
