Common Questions
How do currency markets typically react to election uncertainty?
Currency volatility often increases in the months leading up to major elections, particularly when candidates have significantly different economic policies. Emerging market currencies tend to be more sensitive to political risk than major developed market currencies.
What makes some commodities more sensitive to geopolitical events?
Energy and agricultural commodities often show stronger reactions to political developments because supply chains can be disrupted by sanctions, trade disputes, or regional conflicts. Precious metals sometimes benefit from political uncertainty as safe-haven assets.
