Why split power in Washington is better for markets

The debate Tuesday between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris was fiery, with both nominees hoping they won over voters with their arguments on everything from the economy to immigration. While Wall Street veteran strategist and former Wells Fargo Chief Investment Strategist Jim Paulsen, however, is more focused on the micro things, like what policies will affect individual sectors. Paulsen joined Yahoo Finance anchor Seana Smith on Opening Bid to break down what's happening in the markets, recession predictions, and expected Federal Reserve rate cuts. As far as politics go, Paulsen shared his hot take. He thinks investors should care more about split power instead of who sits in the White House. “It’s more harmful for one party to have all the power,” he explained, and would prefer a combination of parties across the three branches of government to benefit the market. All that and more on Opening Bid.
