The US Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut interest rates by a quarter point on November 7, looking beyond the election results to continue easing borrowing costs on the back of cooling inflation. The US financial markets oscillated in the run-up to the election, as traders placed bets on what it could mean for the world's largest economy. Both Harris and Trump proposed policies on the campaign trail that independent analysts say would increase the size of the deficit, pushing up the overall US debt pile and potentially raising the cost of government borrowing as a result.
