BTC, S&P, USD: Market react to trump victory
Former President Donald Trump claimed a sweeping victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race. As a result, the U.S. stock market surged, with Tesla, banks, and bitcoin all charging higher.
Trump’s pledge to slash the corporate tax rate to 15% from 21% could lift S&P 500 earnings by roughly 4%, according to projections from Goldman Sachs.
The dollar index climbed more than 2%, topping 105 for the first time in four months, as markets priced in a stronger greenback under a Trump administration. Investors anticipate his policies will fuel inflation, which would pressure the Federal Reserve to maintain elevated interest rates to prevent an overheated economy.
Bitcoin hit record highs as well, boosted by Trump’s campaign promise to champion cryptocurrency. Bitcoin surged to an all-time high on Wednesday, spurred by expectations of a favorable regulatory environment.
How much of Trump’s agenda will become reality remains to be seen, with Republicans’ control of Congress yet undecided.
