Wed Nov 06 10:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Trump Declared Winner in US Election, Markets Surge
**New York, USA** – Republican nominee Donald Trump has declared victory in the US presidential election, capturing key battleground states and securing a win for his party in the Senate. The news sent markets soaring, with US stocks surging and the dollar posting its biggest gain against major currencies since 2020.
Trump’s win was fueled by his victory in Pennsylvania, a state that had been considered a key part of the Democratic “Blue Wall”. This victory effectively ended Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ hopes of mounting a comeback.
The victory also handed the Republicans control of the US Senate. The GOP now controls at least 51 seats in the 100-member chamber, having flipped key seats in Ohio and West Virginia.
World leaders have congratulated Trump on his win, which caps off one of the most tumultuous campaigns in modern political history.
The markets reacted swiftly to the news. S&P futures climbed 1.4%, Treasury bonds tumbled, sending benchmark yields up more than 0.1 percentage point, and Bitcoin soared to a record high.
Trump’s victory marks a significant shift in the political landscape and will likely have a profound impact on US policy going forward.
