Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, are vying for the presidency of the United States.
So far, the two candidates have been projected to win a number of states they were expected to carry, but battleground states remain too close to call.

As we just reported, Florida voters have failed to pass a ballot measure that would have enshrined access to abortion in the state constitution.

The financial markets have shifted in line with expectations of a Trump victory.

The value of the US dollar strengthened against other currencies as voters went to the polls on Tuesday – a sign that currency traders believe the election is trending in Trump’s favour.

The Republican is associated with a stronger dollar because his plans for sweeping tariffs would likely stoke inflation, prompting the US Federal Reserve – the US central bank – to raise interest rates.

When interest rates rise, global investors usually seek out dollar-denominated investments to benefit from higher yields.

Currencies follow the law of supply and demand just like other goods – the more people buy dollars, the more their value rises.

In another sign that the market sees Trump having the edge, shares of the parent company behind his Truth Social platform rose 10 percent in after-hours trading.
