The election of Donald Trump as U.S. president triggered a significant surge in the dollar and stock markets, with investors betting on the benefits of his proposed tariffs and tax cuts. This financial upheaval marks the biggest one-day rally in the dollar in eight years, as stock futures climbed significantly.

Trump's economic promises drove investors towards assets expected to benefit from higher tariffs, tax reductions, and deregulatory measures. However, markets reliant on U.S. trade faced challenges, notably weakening currencies like the Mexican peso and the euro, reflecting concerns of stricter trade policies.

The comprehensive influence of the election, coupled with Republican control of the Senate, suggests substantial policy shifts with broad implications for global trade, U.S. institutions, and fiscal strategies. Key sectors, including defense, banking, and traditional industries, prepare for potential changes effecting the economy and international finance dynamics.
