Trump makes a momentous political comeback, breaking through the "blue wall" to win 312 electoral votes. Trump becomes only the second US president in history to be elected to non-consecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland (the 22nd and 24th US president).

Trump's tariff policies had a big negative impact on not only the stock market but also on the US bond market along with a decline in dollar index.

The stock market hasn’t made any big moves today despite more passive action on tariffs by the administration as earnings reports have come in mixed and many firms are starting to feel the effects of the trade war.
