The fall came after FBI Director James Comey released a letter to members of Congress saying the agency planned to review emails that “appear to be pertinent to the investigation” into whether the Democratic presidential nominee mishandled classified information by using a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

In general, financial markets seem to be betting that a Clinton victory will be better for the economy than a win for her opponent, Donald Trump. The Republican, whose bombastic rhetoric has alienated many of America’s allies, has railed against international trade deals he blames for sending jobs abroad and draining the country’s coffers.
