Overnight, Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 index gained 1.6%, led by big tech stocks.
“With a reasonable polling lead, one could argue that Joe Biden has more to lose here than President Trump,” said Carnell.
He said with some potential for gaffes or other colorful moments, the debate might be “cringe-worthy but unlikely to deliver an electoral car-crash for either side.”On Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose to 3,351.60.
