Stock exchange and federal election
Do political exchanges have short legs?
Who will rule Germany in the future? There is only one week left until the general election. What have the individual parties planned for the financial sector? Who could win the race, which government constellations are conceivable and is there one that would be better for investors than others?
Regardless of the outcome, many hope that a government will be formed quickly, because stock marketers do not like uncertainty at all. At this year’s Derivatives Day in Frankfurt, Friedhelm Tilgen discussed with Anouch Wilhelms from Société Générale and Lars Brandau from the German Derivatives Association whether political stock exchanges really have the proverbial short legs or whether the result could also provide longer-term impulses for the markets.
