July 14 (Reuters) -
Donald Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in
Pennsylvania on Saturday in what the authorities said they were
treating as an assassination attempt. Trump's campaign said he
was fine after the incident.
Here are investors' reactions to the shooting.
NICK TWIDALE, CHIEF MARKET ANALYST, ATFX GLOBAL, SYDNEY
"I think it probably increases his chances, and we will
probably see some haven flows in the morning."
RONG REN GOH, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, EASTSPRING INVESTMENTS,
SINGAPORE
"The shooting is likely to bolster Trump's support, and only
further augments the positive momentum he has been enjoying
following the Presidential debates two weeks ago.
"The market reaction function to a Trump presidency has been
characterized by a stronger U.S. dollar and a steepening of the
U.S. Treasuries curve, so we might observe some of that this
coming week if his election odds are assessed to have further
improved following this incident."
