Market volatility across asset classes during U.S. presidential and mid-term elections
Does political uncertainty around elections translate to measurable market effects? This study investigates the impact of the U.S. presidential election on market volatility across different asset classes from 1992 to 2024. Using an event study approach, we document high abnormal volatility in pre-election months and during election weeks and low abnormal volatility in pre-election weeks and election months. The effects vary substantially across asset classes and are amplified during recessions. We examine multiple election characteristics, finding significant roles for political polarization, incumbent status, party changes, election margin, and international tensions.
