Asian stocks were set for a higher open following election-day gains in the US, as traders hunkered down awaiting results in a presidential race pitting divergent visions of global trade and the economy. Gauges of expected volatility crept up amid hedging by investors before an outcome that remained too close for pollsters to call.

-- Donald Trump’s rising presidential prospects rippled through global markets on Wednesday, with US stock futures rallying, Treasury yields jumping and the dollar surging the most in more than four years.

Hong Kong shares and the yuan weakened as investors factored in an increase in trade tensions. Eastern European currencies posted some of the biggest losses on speculation that the region may have to increase defense spending. Ukraine’s dollar-denominated sovereign bonds jumped. Once “we all know who’s the president, who runs Congress both in terms of Senate and the House, then markets can then move forward, so the risk premiums will come out,” said Colin Graham, head of multi-asset strategies at Robeco. “That’s what you’re seeing today.”If Trump gets confirmed as the next President, we see a continuation of the US equities rally. Our view has been that a number of investors are sitting on the sidelines and waiting for election uncertainty to be out of the way.
