U.S. Dollar Rallies As Trump Wins
U.S. Dollar Index rallied as Donald Trump won the U.S. elections. Treasury yields jumped as traders bet on a less dovish Fed after Trump’s victory. The yield of 2-year Treasuries settled above the 4.28% level, while the yield of 10-year Treasuries moved above 4.46%.
In case U.S. Dollar Index climbs above the recent highs at 105.44, it will move towards the next resistance, which is located in the 106.00 – 106.15 range.
EUR/USD Tests New Lows

GBP/USD Tests Support At 1.2870 – 1.2880
GBP/USD is trying to settle below the support at 1.2870 – 1.2880 as traders react to Trump’s victory.
In case this attempt is successful, GBP/USD will move towards the next support level, which is located in the 1.2785 – 1.2800 range.
USD/CAD Moves Higher As Precious Metals Market Dive
USD/CAD gained ground as traders focused on the strong sell-off in precious metals markets. Other commodity-related currencies have also found themselves under pressure in today’s trading session.
