"The American presidential election is rapidly drawing near. The race is becoming more intense and the field of candidates has narrowed to such that a detailed look at each of their platforms makes sense. The focus of this article is on Barack Obama, one of the leading contenders for the Democratic Party’s nomination. Of primary interest for traders in the forex markets is his economic policy, though there is significant overlap between his positions on taxes, trade, and the economy. In addition, his proposed health plan and energy plan, for example, both carry important economic implications, and hence should be considered within the context of how his presidency would bear on the US economy."
