Elections live blog: Trump elected President – as it

Donald Trump is the next president of the United States. The Republican won the highly contested states of Florida and North Carolina and also held on to Ohio and Iowa. In Michigan and Wisconsin, he is nearing a victory. Also Pennsylvania eventually went for Trump and Wisconsin was the last nail.  While polls showed a close race, this potential outcome is a huge shocker, with crashes in financial crashes, USD/JPY, USD/MXN and more “risk averse” reactions. There was some bounce-back, that could prove temporary.

Yohay Elam: Founder, Writer and Editor I have been into forex trading for over 5 years, and I share the experience that I have and the knowledge that I've accumulated. After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
