A new survey has revealed that inflation and the U.S. presidential election will be the top drivers of global markets this year.

Traders told JPMorgan that they see inflation as having the biggest impact on markets.

They are also preparing for more volatility ahead of the likely rematch between former president Donald Trump and President Joe Biden in November.

The survey also found that investors are increasingly valuing consistent access to liquidity as electronic trading grows in importance.
