Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump has a decisive edge with the public on the economy, turning an issue that was once a clear strength for Trump into the equivalent of a political jump ball.

The finding is a warning sign for Trump, who has tried to link Harris to President Joe Biden's economic track record. The new poll suggests that Harris may be escaping some of the president's baggage on the issue, undercutting what was previously one of Trump's major advantages.

bond yields retreated to a nearly 31-month low Thursday after the US central bank unexpectedly cut rates by half a percentage point overnight. But broader local gauges and export-laden technology counters fell over concerns the outsized reduction re flects hitherto unknown growth challenges in the world’s biggest economy. “Since quantum of the cut is bigger than expectations, it implies concerns of a growth slowdown in the US economy, which led to the initial subdued reaction in markets today,” said Pankaj Pandey, head of retail research, ICICI Securities.
