What an incredibly eventful day! Just a few more votes for Trump, and the 2024 presidency is pretty much decided. Trump has maintained a lead in the polls from the start, and now it all hinges on Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. With over half the votes counted in these states, the scales are tipping toward Trump.

The dollar surged 1.2% to reach July highs of 105, with yields also climbing as markets anticipate stronger economic growth and increased fiscal spending. The 10-year Treasury yield rose by 15 basis points, while the 2-year added 8 basis points, signaling heightened investor expectations. Despite expectations for a decrease in rate cut probabilities due to Trump’s friendlier proposed policies, the market is still pricing in 1.8 cuts this year and 3 more cuts next year.

The crypto market has been on fire with BTC hitting all-time high of 75k after touching its previous record of 73.5k, set back on March 14. Since then, BTC has traded mostly within a tight range below 70k. Notably, BTC has now navigated three election cycles since its inception in 2009, each followed by rallies to new highs, with prices never dipping back to pre-election levels. We expect this bullish momentum to hold strong as we head into 2025.
