"and the simplest bet on a Trump win, his Trump Media stock, saw its price soar 76 per cent, from $US12.15 to $US51.51, last month." from 12 to 51 is only 76% ??

Over the past few days, they’ve got cold feet.When Joe Biden was still running, a win for Trump appeared a lay down misère, and so investors piled into securities that would benefit from a Trump victory. Even when Kamala Harris entered the race, displacing Biden, the Trump trade still flourished.Investors pushed up the value of the US dollar and bond yields rose because of the effects that Trump’s tax, trade and immigration policies were expected to have.Donald Trump seems to have lost some momentum in the past week - and so has the Trump trade.Credit: nna\\NPearsonInflation and interest rates would rise as the US deficits blew out and the cost of imported goods increased and was passed onto consumers.Stocks, particularly the big tech stocks targeted by the Biden administration, rose in anticipation of big tax cuts and less regulation.Stocks of prison operators, obvious beneficiaries of Trump’s plan to place 11 million or more people in detention centres before deporting them, had massive runs, while stocks that have benefited from Biden’s green-tinged Inflation Reduction Act were sold off.Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, were buoyed by Trump’s plan to make America the centre of the Bitcoin universe and, more recently, the launch of his own family’s cryptocurrency.It makes sense for investors to either take profits or hedge their bets given how tight the once seemingly one-sided contest has become.And the simplest bet on a Trump win, his Trump Media stock, saw its price soar 76 per cent, from $US12.15 to $US51.51, last month.The first crack in the Trump trades occurred after the only debate between the two presidential candidates last month, when Harris comprehensively outshone Trump.LoadingAs the campaigning intensified, however, Trump retained a solid advantage in the polls and betting markets. At the start of this month, Polymarket had Trump with a 66.6 per cent chance of winning against Harris’ 33.5 per cent. PredictIt’s odds were 55 to 48 in Trump’s favour.Even as the polls showed a tight contest, the Trump trade remained largely intact.Then, last weekend, a single poll taken within Iowa shook up the markets. The Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll, which has a track record of accuracy, showed Harris with a 47 per cent to 44 per cent lead over Trump in a state he won by 9 percentage points in 2016, and 8 percentage points in 2020.Another poll of likely voters released at the weekend, the ABC News/Ipsos poll, showed Harris with a 49 per cent to 46 per cent lead nationally, while a New York Times/Siena poll showed Harris leading in four of the seven swing states, with two tied and the margins for all seven within the poll’s margin for error.Considering that what was once a one-way bet has developed into a nail-biting finish and an even-money bet – or even one where Harris has a marginal edge – it isn’t surprising that the Trump trade has unravelled.The betting markets have gone in different directions. Polymarket (where the betting typically tends to favour Republicans) still has Trump comfortably in front, with a 59.3 per cent chance of winning. PredictIt, which had Trump with a 55 per cent chance of winning late last week, now has Harris marginally in front, 54 per cent to Trump’s 53 per cent.Wall Street edged down on Monday, bond yields fell, the US dollar, measured against a basket of its major trading partners’ currencies, weakened and Bitcoin was down 1.4 per cent. Bitcoin is now down more than 6 per cent since the start of this month.Private prison operators Geo Group and Core Civic were down almost 2 per cent and 1 per cent, respectively. Both stocks have fallen around 10 per cent since the start of the month.Trump Media shares bounced on Monday to close at $US34.34, a 12.4 per cent gain. A week ago, however, they were trading above $US51 a share. The company has lost $US3.4 billion ($5.2 billion) of market value in the week, with Donald Trump shedding almost $US2 billion of paper wealth.The tight election race is dominating financial markets.Credit: BloombergTrump Media might be a good barometer of Trump’s perceived chances of regaining the presidency, but its fate looks dim if he doesn’t deliver.The company is still valued at $US6.87 billion but, if Trump’s chance for another term evaporates, it would be hard to justify that valuation, or anything remotely approaching it, for a company that had only $US836,900 of revenue and lost $US16.4 million in the June quarter.The “Magnificent Seven” big tech stocks have been broadly tracking Trump’s political fortunes for much of this year. An index of those stocks fell nearly 1 per cent on Monday.LoadingTesla is one of those seven stocks and probably, next to Trump Media, the best single stock trade on a Trump victory, given Elon Musk’s prominence in Trump’s campaign (and his financial contributions) and the prospect of Musk having an extraordinarily influential and broad role in a new Trump administration.Musk has been tasked by Trump, should he win, to lead an audit of the government’s finances to identify cuts to spending. Musk says he could cut $US2 trillion, or almost a third of the government’s total spending.Given that the value and prospects of Tesla is - along with Musk’s other companies - heavily influenced by regulation and policy, Musk in the White House would be an invaluable asset for the company.Tesla shares were, however, down 2.5 per cent on Monday and have slumped nearly 10 per cent in just over a week.The Mexican peso and China’s yuan, which had been weakening when Trump seemed destined to win and launch his trade wars against everyone and China in particular, strengthened against the US dollar on Monday despite Trump’s latest threat to impose tariffs as high as 100 per cent on Mexico until it closed its border with the US.LoadingIf there are Harris trades, they’re more the other side of a Trump trade than a clear punt on Harris.Where Trump would cut taxes for companies and the wealthy, she would increase them, and where his policies might be good for the big tech stocks and their shareholders (excluding, perhaps, Jeff Bezos’ Amazon) hers might be regarded as unfavourable.Harris’ key policies involve redistributions of wealth. The winners are more likely to be low-income households and small businesses rather than listed entities, and therefore it is harder to identify obvious trades that aren’t just bets against Trump.Trump clearly isn’t yet out of the race for the presidency, a contest where it may take days, or even weeks, to decide who gets sworn in as president on January 20.It makes sense, however, for investors to either take profits or hedge their bets given how tight the once seemingly one-sided contest has become.
