Financial markets responded dynamically as President-elect Donald Trump's anticipated economic policies began to shape global economic outlooks. Longer-dated U.S. bond yields rose, the dollar strengthened, and bitcoin surged past $90,000, buoyed by expectations of higher inflation and sustained interest rates under Trump's administration.

Global stocks showed mixed reactions, with European shares gaining momentum while Asia experienced declines. The Euro STOXX 50 climbed by 0.6%, bolstered by positive earnings reports, whereas Chinese and Hong Kong indexes faced setbacks amidst skepticism over China's economic measures.

The fiscal outlook remains clouded with Trump's expected tax and tariff plans, likely leading to increased inflation and higher interest rates. Meanwhile, oil prices steadied, and gold experienced a slight drop, amid a reshaping political landscape with implications for future economic policy and global trade relations.
