The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded its best two-year gain, small-cap indices rose nearly 6%, and bank stocks increased over 10%. Oil, steel, and cryptocurrency stocks surged, while European and American photovoltaic stocks faced a complete rout. Trump Media & Technology rose nearly 35% before closing up about 6%, and Tesla increased nearly 15% to a two-year high, with Qualcomm rising 10% after hours. Chinese concept stocks saw a narrowing decline, with Nio and ZEEKR dropping over 5%. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds rose by as much as 20 basis points, approaching 4.48%, while the U.S. dollar index, which rose 1.7%, broke above 105, both reaching four-month highs. Bitcoin rose 9%, approaching $76,000, while the offshore yuan fell by a thousand points, breaching 7.20 yuan, marking a three-month low. The euro and yen both briefly fell by 2%. Gold dropped over 3%, and London copper fell over 4%

According to CCTV News, Harris called Trump to congratulate him on being elected President of the United States. At the same time, in this election, Trump swept the swing states, the Republican Party regained control of the Senate, and the House of Representatives remains tightly contested, with the Republican Party expected to lead by a narrow margin. Analysts generally believe that the Republican Party controlling the White House and both houses of Congress will bring significant changes to spending and tax policies, which will also benefit U.S. economic growth. In addition to the Trump trade igniting the market, people are also highly focused on the Federal Reserve's monetary decision on Thursday.

The "Trump trade" surged, supporting the three major U.S. stock indices to reach historical highs, with Tesla, Trump Media & Technology (DJT), prison stocks, energy stocks, cryptocurrency concept stocks, and bank stocks all rising sharply, while solar stocks suffered a complete rout, and Chinese concept stocks generally retreated but narrowed their losses towards the end of trading. The market is concerned that Trump's implementation of tariff plans will put pressure on European stocks. Trump's policies have raised inflation concerns, causing the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields to rise together, leading to a broad decline in commodities, with gold, silver, copper, and oil all falling. Bitcoin futures broke through the $77,000 mark, setting a new historical high.

Expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have plummeted, with the market currently expecting only a 57 basis point cut by 2025, and the total expected cuts from now until the end of 2025 are less than 100 basis points. JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates only once per quarter starting in March 2025. Nomura economists predict that the Federal Reserve may only cut rates once in 2025 and have raised their terminal rate forecast by 50 basis points to 3.625%. They expect Trump to raise tariffs, which will temporarily push up inflation and lead to moderate growth slowdown.

Trump's tariff policy has raised global inflation concerns. European Central Bank Vice President Guindos stated that if Trump implements his tariff plans, global economic growth and inflation may face devastating shocks. ECB Governing Council member and Bank of France Governor Villeroy stated that Trump's victory increases the risks facing the global economy. However, Goldman Sachs expects the ECB to increase the magnitude of interest rate cuts. Additionally, the final values for the Eurozone's October composite and services PMI were both revised upward, standing above the expansion line and returning to growth.

Expectations for interest rate cuts have plummeted, with the market currently expecting only a 57 basis point cut by 2025, and the total expected cuts from now until the end of 2025 are less than 100 basis points (less than four cuts of 25 basis points each).

Tesla surged nearly 15% to a two-year high, and Trump Media & Technology rose over 34.8% before closing up nearly 6%, triggering a trading halt at one point.

Trump's victory has made investors anxious about the risks of the U.S. federal government expanding the fiscal deficit, as well as the inflationary pressures caused by tax cuts and tariff policies.
