Global investors were on edge as Americans headed to the polls on Tuesday, drawing to a close a dramatic US election cycle that has moved bonds, stocks and other assets in recent months and could further sway markets as results become clearer.
One of the most unusual elections in modern US history could yield starkly different implications for tax and trade policy as well as for US institutions depending on whether Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Kamala Harris prevails.
With polls showing a dead heat between the former president and the current vice president and control of the US Congress also at stake, investors are wary of any unclear or contested result that could fuel volatility stemming from any lasting uncertainty about the political backdrop.
