S&P 500 futures followed suit, jumping by 2.23%, while Nasdaq futures noted an approximate 1.85% climb - making it a redditing day for tech stocks enthusiasts.
Tech Titans
trump media and technology group, the brainchild behind trump’s truth social platform, appeared to welcome the potential president's return. Shares of the company saw a whopping 23.6% increase, soaring to nearly $42 in premarket trading.
Crypto Capital
The promineness of bitcoin in the digital world could not ignore the political trends on a global scale. The cryptocurrency popped a cap at an all-time high of over $75,000 shortly after trump clinched key swing states, georgia and north carolina. However, the high has since simmered, leveling off around $73,500.
In the Running
Trump, boasting 267 electoral votes, is edging closer to the 270 needed to secure a win, according to The Associated Press. With potential victories in red states like wisconsin, michigan, nevada, arizona, and alaska, Trump is leading in all five.
War Chest
As Republicans prepare for a possible trump triumph and control of the Senate, the focus now shifts toward the House, where democratic party's grip on power remains uncertain. Analysts at Goldman Sachs predict a 3% rise in the S&P 500 if Republicans dominate the presidency, Senate, and the House. In a split Congress, the anticipated increase would likely be a smaller 1.5%.
