The elections are all but over with a huge upset: Donald Trump is on track to enter the White House, and be the strongest person in the strongest country in the world. The victory was not totally unexpected, but still a big shock. It’s a matter of time until the narrowing path for Clinton fully closes and Trump wins the electoral college.

Trump wins. It’s official – markets devastated – all currency updates

Clinton may win the popular vote, but that doesn’t count. The reaction in financial markets is a total disaster:

  • Stock markets that are open are crashing
  • Futures of US markets are falling the most since Brexit
  • Oil prices are falling
  • The safe haven yen is shotting higher, and so is the Swiss franc.
  • America’s neighbors and (former?) trading partners are seeing their currencies plunge: the Canadian dollar alongside oil, and the Mexican peso, by double digits.
  • The US dollar is sliding against many other currencies, such as the euro. EUR/USD is breaking multiple lines of resistance but could still retreat later on.
