Investment firms, faced with the prospect of a chaotic election complicated by an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots, have hired political analysts and crunched voting data to try to identify crucial counties and Senate races that might tell them which way the vote is headed. <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/us-elections/us-presidential-elections-wall-street-looks-for-signal-from-the-noise-120110300017_1.html" target="_blank"><strong>READ MORE</strong></a><br />
