NEW YORK, July 15 (Reuters) -World stock indexes and Treasury yields rose on Monday while the dollar dipped as investors weighed the prospect of Republican Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential race after he survived an assassination attempt over the weekend.
The Dow hit a record high early, helped by some upbeat earnings results including from Goldman Sachs GS.N, which was up 1.6%.
Investors have tended to react to the prospect of a Trump win by pushing Treasury yields higher, in part on the assumption his economic policies would add to inflation and debt.
Some view a Trump victory as likely to mean more tax cuts and less regulation. Crypto stocks, prison operators and other shares jumped on Monday.
Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group DJT.O were up 32%. Trump owns a majority stake in the company. Crypto stocks gained as bitcoin BTC= rose to a two-week high. The S&P 500 energy sector .SPNY was up 1.9%.
Online betting site PredictIt showed bets of an election win for Trump at 67 cents, up from Friday's 60 cents, with Democrat Joe Biden at 27 cents.
"In a Republican administration, you'll see a lower tax policy, lower regulatory policy... that's typically good for stocks. We're seeing some of that in terms of forward-lookingexpectations from investors at this point," said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance.
The motive behind a 20-year-old gunman's attempt on the life of Trump remained a mystery, with the suspect having been neutralized and the FBI unable to determine an ideology that may have been behind the attack.
Traders also will be watching comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell later in the day for any fresh clues on the likelihood of a September interest rate cut.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 304.21 points, or 0.76%, to 40,306.29, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 49.73 points, or 0.89%, to 5,665.13 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC gained 230.51 points, or 1.25%, to 18,628.96.
MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS rose 3.56 points, or 0.43%, to 832.11, while the STOXX 600 .STOXX index fell 0.91%.
Dour updates from British luxury group Burberry and watchmaker Swatch Group raised questions about consumer confidence.
U.S. retail sales data due on Tuesday was likely to be closely watched for clues on how consumers are faring.
The dollar index =USD, which measures its performance againsta basket of currencies, fell 0.21% at 104.07, with the euro EUR= up 0.09% at $1.0915. Against the Japanese yen JPY=, the dollar weakened 0.03% to 157.86.
Investors are trying to gauge how soon the Fed may be able to cut rates, with inflation edging closer to the Fed's 2% target and rising concerns about how long the job market can stay strong.
The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes US10YT=RR rose 3.1 basis points to 4.218% from 4.187% late on Friday.
U.S. crude CLc1 lost 0.12% to $82.11 a barrel and Brent LCOc1 rose to $85.06 per barrel, up 0.04% on the day. Spot gold XAU= added 0.9% to $2,432.94 an ounce
