· Business · Bloomberg, CNBC, Hindustan Times
JPMorgan Asset Management Chief Global Strategist David Kelly said a Democrat-controlled House and Senate would give markets clearer direction on tariffs, inflation and fiscal spending.

Kelly noted that Republican proposals to raise tariffs could reignite inflation and complicate Federal Reserve easing. A Democratic sweep, in his view, would likely preserve existing trade frameworks and reduce the risk of sudden policy shifts. Markets are weighing the election's implications for growth, rates and corporate earnings.
