Both Donald Trump's and Kamala Harris's political platforms appear negative for US equities, with the Democratic candidate's plans to raise corporate tax seen having the biggest impact, according to Citigroup strategists.
A team led by Scott Chronert found that the Harris platform would hit the fair value of US stocks by 4% to 6%. "This is mostly a function of the direct implication of higher corporate tax rates in a Harris outcome," they wrote in a note. Meanwhile, the impact of the planned policies of the Republican candidate are seen between 0% and negative 4%. Trump's program would trigger the biggest hit to the US fiscal deficit which is set to become a major issue moving forward, the strategists said.
They said such moves are only likely for stocks if the elected candidate's party also sweeps both the Senate and the House of Representatives. "A split congress with either candidate mitigates most of the nearer term risk to fair values," they said.
Separately, strategists at BNP Paribas SA reckon US import tariffs of 10% globally and 60% on China could hit the S&P 500 between 9% and 12%, depending on how central banks adjust their policies.
