Here is what you need to know on Wednesday, November 6:
The US Dollar (USD) gathers strength early Wednesday as markets react to US presidential election results, with the USD trading at its highest level since early July above 105.00. The US economic calendar will not feature any high-tier data releases and investors will continue to pay close attention to headlines surrounding the election outcome in key battleground states.
Donald Trump is projected to retake key battleground states that he narrowly lost in 2020. Almost every new major news outlet has called Georgia and North Carolina for Donald Trump. Just recently, Fox News has called Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for also Donald Trump. According to Decision Desk HQ, Trump is on track to become the 47th President of the United States. Furthermore, Republicans are projected to take the majority of the House after securing the Senate.
