Barclays names stocks and options contracts to play this week's U.S. election.
Investors in Europe who are concerned about former President Donald Trump 's potential return to the White House have several options at their disposal, according to Barclays strategists. The bank suggested that European equities could face significant headwinds if Trump wins the presidency, primarily due to the potential for trade tariffs and protectionist policies .
The bank's strategists favor put options on major European indices like the Euro Stoxx 50 or the German DAX . Put options are derivatives — with their value derived from that of an underlying asset — and give the owner the right to sell a stock for a given price within a given period of time. The put options recommended by Barclays would become more valuable if European stocks decline, offering protection against market turbulence.
