NEW YORK/LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) -Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election unleashed a massiverally in the dollar, fueled a rally on Wall Streetand punished bond prices as expectations of tax cuts and tariffs on imports drove optimism about economic growth along with worries about inflation.
U.S. equity indexes soared, with the benchmark S&P 500 jumping 2% to a record high and huge gains in areas such as small cap stocks and banks that are poised to benefit from Trump's expected lighter regulatory touch.
Thedollar was set for its largest one-day jump in over two years.Bitcoin hit record highs and Treasuries were battered.
Trump's pledges to raise tariffs, cut taxes and slash regulations encouraged investors to dive into a range of assets that looked likely to benefit from such policies.
Markets that could suffer under tougher tariffs, including those in some of major U.S. trading partners, bore the brunt of the sell-off. The Mexican peso MXN= slumped toits lowest in over two years while the euro EUR=EBS was set for its largest dailydrop since 2020.
"Everywhere you look, there's the thumb prints of these election results for markets," said Paul Christopher, head of global investment strategy at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute.
Bolstering confidence in so-called "Trump trades," Republicans won control of the U.S. Senate. Investors were still awaiting results in the House of Representatives to see if Republicans could pull off a "Red Sweep" that would give them control of both houses of Congress, further easing the path for Trump's agenda.
The election could have far-reaching implications for tax and trade policy, as well as U.S. institutions. The outcome affects assets globally and could determine the outlook for U.S. debt, the longer-term strength of the dollar and a host of industries that make up the backbone of corporate America.
INTEREST RATES SEEN HIGHER
Investors sold U.S. Treasuries, partly on the expectation that higher tariffs would inevitably filter through to consumer prices, but also because Trump's promises on spending could boostgovernment debt levels. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield US10YT=RR rose to 4.48%, its highest level in over four months.
"If he's able to fully implement his agenda, it means bigger deficits, bigger tax cuts, and also, because of tariffs, higher inflation," said David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management. "The higher inflation and the bigger deficits should push up long-term interest rates."
In stocks, shares in Trump Media and Technology Group DJT.O surged 10%, while those in Tesla TSLA.O, headed by Trump supporter Elon Musk, jumped 14%. The small-cap Russell 2000 .RUT rose nearly 5%.
Bitcoin surged to a record high, betting on a softer line on cryptocurrency regulation.
"Trump’s win likely means some deregulation, including rolling back banking regulations, though big tech may remain a bipartisan antitrust focus," analysts at the BlackRock Investment Institute said in a note.
Meanwhile, thousands who bet on the U.S. election are looking forward to a potential payout of about $450 million fromonline gambling sites after Trump's victory.
The results meant markets gained clarity about the presidency faster than in 2020, when Joe Biden was announced the victor some four days after election night.
"This is an economy that's in good shape as we go into the next Congress and the next administration, and the stock market is reflecting that with the removal of this uncertainty overhang," said Kurt Reiman, head of fixed income Americas and lead of the ElectionWatch at UBS Wealth Management.
