Winners and losers in markets with political change in the US

The US midterm elections have resulted in a Democratic majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, altering investment perspectives. The initial portfolio adjustments following the elections indicate that certain assets are being favored, while others are not. The value of the US dollar has weakened, with the euro rising above $1.12 and the British pound approaching $1.35.

The price of gold has surged, breaking the $1,300 barrier, as investors seek safe-haven assets and respond to the reduced likelihood of aggressive US policies, particularly towards China, where the CSI 300 index has risen 2.4%.
