The 2024 UK General Election: Nothing to see here? Depends on where you are looking
In this episode, Senior Trader Gary Wilkinson speaks with Trevor Charsley, Senior Market Strategist, and Darryl Hood, VP and Senior Director of EMEA Sales and Trading about the imminent 2024 UK election…and more. The UK’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently announced a general election for 4 July.
2024 is the biggest election year in history, with roughly half of the world’s population — some 4 billion people in around 80 countries — going to the polls. In the local elections in May, Sunak’s Conservative party lost a number of seats to the Labour party.
Conventional wisdom says that no matter how anxiously results are awaited, polls are watched, and how much ink is spilt, elections results usually have very little effect on global currency markets. We’ll test that theory – and others — in our conversation.
