India cannot escape the impact of US polls: Jim Rogers

With only a day left for the outcome of the US presidential elections, apprehensions are on the rise on who will be the winner. It is a choice between the lesser of two evils, says Jim Rogers, who said he would not not vote either for Hillary Clinton or for Donald Trump.In an interview with ET Now, the author of Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets, says be it a Clinton win or a Trump win, the world will face economic problems. If Trump takes charge, it will lead to bankruptcy and trade war. In the case of Clinton, the slowdown will happen but it will be slow. That is the only respite.Rogers said he goes long on the US dollar as Trump says he will have trade wars. Such wars usually make a currency go up at least for a while. On the yellow metal, he said gold may go down.He further said the impact of the US polls is not going to leave India out of its clutches and the nation cannot escape it. In fact, nobody can.
