USD set for biggest 3-day loss since April as US election results are still unclear
Two days after the election the race is still too close to call a definitive winner. Here’s what we know:
- Nevada and Pennsylvania appear to be the two remaining tightest races.
- Risk aversion briefly pushed the dollar to one-month highs as Trump won Florida and secured new paths to keep the White House, eliminating any chance of a Biden landslide.
- A risk-on sell-off in the dollar quickly erased this one-month high and brought it to one-week lows as the margin of lead for Trump in key states, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona narrowed.
