This note looks at the risk of a double dip in global economic activity.

The Australian election and investment markets

The Federal election is unlikely to have a major impact on financial markets at an aggregate level. In fact, the historical record suggests little clear impact, with other factors proving more important. This may partly reflect the broad similarity in terms of macro economic policies between both sides of politics.
There is a greater potential for impact at the sectoral level, particularly if there is a change of government.
