Shares in Tesla and US bank stocks rose sharply on Wednesday while European renewable companies slumped, as investors bet on a sizeable impact from Donald Trump’s likely election as US president. Tesla, whose chief executive Elon Musk became one of Trump’s most vociferous backers, rose 12 per cent in pre-market trading.
Banks and defence groups are among the companies expected to benefit if the Republicans take control of the White House and the two houses of Congress in a so-called “red sweep” and are able to push through a radical reform agenda. Renewable companies in Europe slumped, meanwhile, amid fears that Trump could bring the sector to a standstill. Danish wind turbine manufacturer Ørsted, the world’s largest, was down 14 per cent in early trading. Danish rival Vestas was down 10 per cent.
