The recently published economic statistics from the U.S. economy could ultimately favor Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate in the presidential election. This is because Hillary Clinton is supported by Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, and her victory could mean the continuation of the current economic policy trajectory. The U.S. economic growth in the third quarter of this year experienced a 2.9% increase compared to the same period last year, marking the highest growth rate for the largest economy in the world. Meanwhile, employment statistics for October indicate a decrease of 0.1 percentage points in the unemployment rate, bringing it below 5%.
