The U.S. dollar approached a four-month peak on Tuesday, reflecting investor optimism over potential policies from the incoming Trump administration that could stimulate markets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high, drawing attention as a potential beneficiary from Trump's pro-crypto stance.

The euro dipped to near a seven-month low, influenced by political uncertainties in Germany and potential tariffs under Trump's watch. The yuan also dropped significantly, underlining concerns about U.S.-China trade relations as Trump threatens high tariffs.

Market observers also note the evolving expectations for Federal Reserve policies, with odds of a near-term interest rate cut being reevaluated amid stronger U.S. economic projections. Trump's tax and governance plans and shifting political dynamics continue to stir financial markets.
