As the US Election race enters its final week before the big day in November, there could only really be one topic of conversation: who is in the lead, and what do the different possible outcomes mean for the markets and for investors?

Our Senior Global Economist, James McCann, joins us from Boston, Mass. to discuss the state of the race with Senior Political Economist, Stephanie Kelly.  What would be the best outcome for growth forecasts?  What's the worst?  And in the heat of the high-profile tussle between the two Presidential runners, what should investors be focussing on?   

For part 2, Stephanie takes the hot seat and Senior Economist, Paul Diggle, picks up the questioning of polling accuracy.
