US and international political and policy forecasting for financial markets and investors that’s independent, unaffiliated, expert, and actionable
May 31: Here's the easily accessed first TV hit today on Trump's conviction for markets, and why Trump's campaign just took a hit. Surveillance's take: " Trump’s efforts to woo independent voters and supporters of former rival Nikki Haley get harder with felony verdicts against him, especially given his penchant for red-hot rhetoric, according to Pangaea Policy’s Terry Haines. “But I don’t think it’s a seismic negative for Trump’s candidacy or a significant bump for Biden.” "The time lag until the voting is only one reason that it’s hard to say how the historic court action will shape opinions on Nov. 5, Haines... said. Another variable is how the two campaigns themselves use the New York courtroom action.... "Haines had a take on Trump’s Wall Street support at odds with some of the immediate headlines about financial titans — think Howard Lutnick and Stephen Schwarzman — sticking with the Republican nominee. “They’re private or able to do what they do without caring about blowback,” Haines said. “On the other hand if you’re looking at the average Fortune 500 CEO or C-suite person who has to answer to shareholders, they will be awfully circumspect about how they put themselves out there, or if they put themselves out there at all. They don’t want to risk public blowback from supporting Trump.” Many thanks to the Bloomberg TV Surveillance team for having me on.
