Experts believe that if the chosen person is not confirmed due to legal disputes and the political situation becomes unstable, it will have a negative impact on the stock market.

In the 19 crown crisis, more than 100 million American voters participated in pre-voting (early voting at the place and voting by mail).

In the case of voting by mail, the arrival deadline and starting date for counting as valid votes vary from state to state. Because of this, the counting of votes is expected to take time and may lead to legal disputes. President Trump has already voiced complaints several times about the Pennsylvania rules, a state-of-the-art contest that accepts mail-in ballots that arrive three days after the presidential election.

“Ultimately, the market wants clarity,” said Tom Essay, founder of Sevens Reports, telling CNBC that a “reversal of the rally” could occur when electoral uncertainty increases.
