The outcome of the US presidential election on Tuesday remains uncertain, and what will be the dollar's reaction to the result.
28 out of 31 foreign exchange strategists polled by Reuters predicted a better performance of the US dollar in the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump's victory, with the dollar expected to rise by 1.5% if Trump is the victor.
If Camilla Harris wins, the forecast indicates a loss of 1% for the US dollar.
The dollar, as well as US Treasury bond yields, fell with the opening of this week, and this was thanks to a poll in Iowa, released on Saturday evening, which showed Harris ahead of Trump by 47% to 44%, as that state was easily won by Trump in 2016 and 2020.
The seven swing states are still the ones that will decide the victory for any of the candidates They are Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and finally Wisconsin, where these states represent 93 votes in the Electoral College.
Whoever can get 270 votes in total will be the winner of the US presidency.
Averages of opinion polls suggest that the overall result is still very close, with tens of thousands of votes in a few swing states set to decide who will succeed Joe Biden in the White House.
