Surveillance: US Midterm Elections

Bruce Kasman, JPMorgan Chief Economist & Head of Global Economic Research, says the inflation spike of the past year and a half is not primarily a central bank or political phenomenon. Rep. French Hill, (R) Arkansas, says the Republican Party is ready to take the lead on inflation. Rep. Peter Welch, (D) Vermont, says we need to make clean energy affordable. Alifia Doriwala, RockCreek Group, expects the midterm elections just to be a small blip for markets. Dan Yergin, S&P Global Vice Chairman, Author of “The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations," says gasoline prices have a real impact on how people vote.
