During the debate Republican President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden battled fiercely over Trump's leadership on the corona virus pandemic, the economy and the integrity of the upcoming election. Further, lingering worries about the spread of corona virus infections too added pressure on market sentiment.
