2024 looks set to go down in the history books as one of the most significant years in global politics in modern times, with almost half of the world’s population to take to the polls in some capacity. A historic rematch between current US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump looks highly likely when Americans take to the polls in November. As things stand, markets are almost entirely in the dark as to who will come out on top, and it is also similarly unclear as to which party will control the two houses that make up Congress.

The UK general election also looks set to take place later in the year.

We discuss the possible economic, political and currency ramifications of these two votes, while also giving our thoughts ahead of the European Parliament elections, set to be held in June.
