As Trump’s chances keep rising, the financial markets keep falling. That isn’t too surprising given
recent research showing that investors favor Clinton over Trump and given that most forecasts (including ours) expected her to win.
But it’s worth remembering that even if markets crater over the next day or two, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll keep falling or that the economy as a whole will suffer. As I
wrote a few week ago, initial market reactions don’t reveal much about longer-run movements. Just look at the
surprise “Brexit” decision a few months back: Markets initially tumbled but have since rebounded.
