The U.S. presidential election on Tuesday, November 5, is just a few weeks out and polls show the race remains head-to-head between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The election could create a roller-coaster ride for investors in both the lead-up and the aftermath.

"A tightly contested and open election where the incumbent is not seeking reelection, as we have currently, only serves to increase the uncertainty."
