With just weeks to go until the election, the stock market appears to be switching horses.
That's not to say that Wall Street no longer perceives President Donald Trump as better for the economy, the market and taxes. But there's been a clear warming to the idea that former Vice President Joe Biden is getting far enough ahead of Trump in the polls that the threat of a contested election has been reduced, and Biden's policies could, in fact, be stimulative.
"The market is pricing in a Democratic wave. It's not scared," said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial. "The market is accepting this in lieu of a contested election...The market, I think is beginning to understand a blue wave doesn't necessarily mean an ultra progressive agenda."
