This is the best election outcome for markets

==========

Stocks do better when neither party has the votes to enact partisan legislation. Since 1933, the average annual return for the S&P 500 index has been 15.7% when a Democratic president had a split Congress and 13.7% when a Republican president did. Unified government tends to produce the most dramatic policy changes. There are eight governing scenarios for 2025, with four key scenarios: Biden wins with split control of Congress, Biden wins with full Democratic control of Congress, Trump wins with split government, and Trump wins with full Republican control of Congress. Each scenario has different implications for tax cuts, green energy, and healthcare availability. The odds of a Republican trifecta are 40%, while the odds of Biden winning with a split Congress are also 40%. The calmest outlook for markets would be a second Biden term with Republicans holding at least one chamber of Congress.
