Equity derivatives markets trading after hours were the first to react, seeing some gains immediately after the debate

The S&P 500 followed suit, shrugging off declines in the price of oil

It might seem peculiar that markets are already beginning to react to election speak, but the expectation of volatility should Donald Trump triumph in November

means markets are reacting positively to any indication of strength for the Clinton campaign

Analysts point to the Mexican pesos, one way which markets have been expressing their view on the election

It strengthened today, suggesting that a win from Mrs. Clinton is more likely, and that Mr. Trump's policies on Mexican trade agreements will not get a chance to come to fruition

Bond markets also reacted positively with representative investment grade and junk bond exchange-traded funds, both have seen price increases

while the benchmark ten-year treasury yield, which was inversely to price, dips slightly for the day

The market moves are relatively calm this far out from the election, with the VIX volatility index remaining muted after Monday night

And that's in New York Minute
