JP Morgan Asset Management The final quarter of 2016 is set up to be one of the year's most exciting.

Third-quarter earnings season will unofficially start next week, and it is expected to mark the sixth straight quarter that the largest public companies report a decline in profits, according to FactSet.

In November, Americans will vote in one of the most contentious presidential elections in modern history.

And in December, the Federal Reserve could raise its benchmark interest rate for only the second time in this economic cycle.

These events and others will be huge for markets. This quarterly guide from David Kelly and his team at JPMorgan Asset Management provides a bird's-eye view of where we stand, and will inform what should be top of mind right now.
