Market

The swing states are heating up, with Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania showing massive voter shifts toward the GOP. In Arizona, Republicans now hold a five-point registration lead since 2020. Nevada and Pennsylvania are following suit with similar trends, hinting that a red wave could make things very different this election. With Election Day nearing, Republicans are expecting a huge turnout in Pennsylvania, making it likely the state flips red without even needing wins in Michigan or Wisconsin.
But the real wildcard? Voting machines. With rumors swirling about Trump’s comeback, voting machines are suddenly under the microscope. There’s talk that they’re the last line of defense to avoid any potential “election steal.” If issues arise, it could set off a whole new wave of election debates, which could lead to big moves in the markets.
Speaking of the markets, Boeing (BA) is worth a close look. While the industrial sector is showing signs of struggle, Boeing has managed to stay steady, creating an interesting contrast. Some analysts say this gap between Boeing’s stability and the industrial sector’s dip could mean Boeing is ready for a move. Traders who like to stay ahead of the game might find this setup appealing, especially if the market breadth turns bullish.
With the political and economic landscapes colliding, both the swing states and Boeing’s performance are going to be key indicators. Expect a fast-paced season where every vote, and every stock, could make a difference.
