Now, you probably have your preferred candidate. And you might think one candidate won the debate.
I do as well — but I’m not going to focus on that right now. Maybe I’ll talk about that more in the coming days, but I think there was something much more important in last night’s debate than winners or losers.
I honestly think what we saw yesterday was good for America.
I don’t know if you’re like me, but I had all but lost hope of ever seeing a political discussion like this again.
I feared the two sides were too polarized, too radicalized, and too downright hostile to ever say sentences like “I agree with a lot of what you just said, but” or “I respect my opponent’s service; however.”
But those kinds of civil disagreements are what we were founded on. And it’s what I hope we can all get back to someday. Today’s debate was a big step in the right direction.
Now, what effect will the debate have on the markets? I doubt it’ll have any.
And it might not have a big impact on the election, either.
It’s still just a Vice Presidential debate.
But I’m going to wake up tomorrow (I’m writing this late at night on Tuesday after watching the debate, because I’ll be without internet for a few hours in the morning) with a lot more optimism about the future of the country.
I hope you will too!
As for the markets, I still think the biggest indicator to watch today will be oil in the wake of Iran’s missile strikes on Israel that we talked about yesterday.
Here’s what Crude Oil futures look like as I write this Tuesday night.
