President Donald Trump has been sinking in the polls for weeks, as a combination of a deadly pandemic, freefalling economy, and nationwide racial unrest has started to undermine even some of his steadfast supporters confidence in his ability to lead the nation. But for a long time, the financial industry and betting markets at least were more bullish on the presidents ability to pull off another win.
Not anymore, however. According to Axios, investors money is increasingly on former Vice President Joe Biden to beat the president.
Betting markets have turned decisively toward an expected victory for Joe Biden in November and asset managers at major investment banks are preparing for not only a Biden win, but potentially a Democratic sweep of the Senate and House too, reported Dion Rabouin. The shift is the latest indicator of how quickly the political and business worlds have aligned in the view that Trump is unlikely to win a second term as COVID-19 infection numbers have spiked again and the economy looks to be stalling.

They are probably moving assets around with the full expectation of an increase of taxes and setting themselves up for the least exposure.
