On Monday, the Trump campaign launched a legal battle against what they described as “fraudulent” votes in the US election, a few days after Democratic nominee Joe Bided was projected by major American news network as the winner.
Joe Biden’s projected victory in the 3 November US presidential election has prompted increasing activity in global financial markets as stock indices across the world hit a record high.
The FTSE 100 skyrocketed to a record 6,004 points in early trading, as the Europe-wide Stoxx 600 index as well as Germany’s Dax and France’s Cac indices also jumped to their highest levels over the past weeks.
Tokyo’s Nikkei index increased to 24,839 points, a 29-year high, while China’s Shanghai Composite and Sydney’s ASX200 were up by 1.9% and 1.75%, respectively. Also hitting record peaks were the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and the Dow Jones.
Campbell recalled that President Donald Trump shows no signs of conceding, adding that “enough of the Republican Party is willing to back up” his claims pertaining to voter fraud during the elections, something the analyst noted “could come to undermine the market’s recent gains”.
The forecast comes after POTUS declared “the simple fact is this election is far from over”, accusing Biden of “rushing to falsely pose as the winner” after the ex-vice president was projected by major US news networks to prevail over Trump in the election race.
With Biden already proclaiming himself president-elect and vowing to unify the US in his recent address to the nation, Trump remains defiant, launching a legal battle against what POTUS earlier denounced as “fraudulent votes”.
