Outlook 07/22: Stock futures opened mildly higher after Biden formally passed the torch to Harris, with no significant policy uncertainty seen as extending from the latest announcement. She is a staunch defender of Biden's economic approach, such as upgrading infrastructure, subsidies for green projects, reshoring critical industries, and is also largely expected to stick to his foreign policy playbook.
