How to trade the UK election: Panmure Liberum’s Joachim Klement and Wind Shift Capital’s Bill Blain
The 2024 UK general election has been anything but boring, with PM Rishi Sunak soaked to the skin, to alleged betting scams and Nigel Farage, back from the political dead.
So, with just days to go until voters head to the polls, IGTV’s Angeline Ong caught up with Panmure Liberum’s Joachim Klement and Wind Shift Capital’s Bill Blain, to find out what they are expecting out of this election, and more importantly, how to trade it.
(AI Video Summary)
Trading during the UK election
In this discussion ahead of the UK election, experts from Wind Shift Capital’s and Panmure Liberum predict stable financial markets regardless of the expected Labour victory. They juxtapose the UK's impending fiscal stability against potential turmoil in Europe and the U.S. Debates surface about the need for radical financial solutions in the UK, given the limited fiscal space after the disruptive policies of Liz Truss.
Political concerns and strategic investments
Concerns over political competency and economic orthodoxy persist, emphasising a cautious approach to managing national debt and a discussion around strategic investments to address infrastructure deficits. The consensus is that domestic stability might invite conservative trading, particularly in Sterling and UK domestic stocks.
