Lister said the market had, over the last week or so, been driven by worries about the possibility of anti-free trade Donald Trump becoming the next president of the United States. "Over the last week or so it has absolutely been the Trump factor and uncertainty surrounding the US election," Lister said. "I think the market will be on edge right up to election day," he said. "If Trump gets in, I think that there will be another leg down," he said. The US share market is 4.7 per cent down from its peak, and the Australian market is down by 6.5 per cent.
