Asian stocks eased while the dollar held at four-month highs on Tuesday, though all the excitement was centered on bitcoin as it soared to a record peak underpinned by investor bets on assets that are likely to benefit from Donald Trump’s election win.
The dollar on the other hand is expected to benefit from some of the policies that will likely keep US interest rates relatively higher for longer. The dollar index, which measures the greenback versus six peers, was at 105.57, just shy of the 4-month high hit on Monday. “But this is a story for another time and Trump’s victory has unleashed the animal spirit in markets for now,” Menon said.
Chip stocks in the region have been reeling this week after Reuters reported that the US ordered Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to halt shipments of advanced chips to Chinese customers that are often used in AI applications. Trump’s victory and the election of pro-crypto candidates to Congress have supercharged a bitcoin rally to record highs closer to 90 000, and targeting $100 000 next. It was last at $88 709.
