ChainCatcher news, according to 4E monitoring, as the U.S. election enters its final countdown, the three major U.S. stock indexes collectively fell on Monday while most investors remained on the sidelines. The S&P 500 index closed down 0.28%, the Dow fell 0.61%, and the Nasdaq dropped 0.33%. Given the tight race between Trump and Harris, supporters on both sides were eager to "place another bet" before Monday. After three consecutive days of double-digit declines, Trump's media technology group, which at one point fell 5% on Monday, ultimately closed up 12.37%. Meanwhile, bets favoring Harris's victory also increased, with solar and clean energy stocks collectively rising on Monday.The cryptocurrency market continued to decline under the weakening influence of the "Trump trade." As of the time of writing, Bitcoin was priced at $67,939, down 1.4%, and Ethereum was at $2,407, down 2.32%.In the forex and commodities sector, the "Trump trade" was scaled back, coupled with expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve on Thursday, leading the dollar index to drop over 0.4% to below 104, hitting a two-week low and marking the largest decline in over a month, with non-dollar currencies rising broadly. Oil prices were supported by OPEC+'s announcement to delay production increases, with intraday gains exceeding nearly 3%. Gold prices were boosted by safe-haven demand due to the uncertainty of the U.S. election, expectations of a Fed rate cut, and the dollar index reaching a two-week low, with spot gold closing up 0.05% at the end of U.S. trading.In recent days, a series of polls have shown the gap in winning probabilities between Trump and Harris rapidly narrowing, with both sides' vote counts now very close. The market is concerned that controversial vote counting results may delay the election outcome by several days. Additionally, if Trump loses the election, his supporters may cite these data to "prove" election fraud, potentially inciting unrest. Another catalyst for safe-haven sentiment is the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Thursday, along with Powell's remarks at the press conference.As the two storms approach this week, market volatility has intensified, and demand for safe havens has increased. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, commodities like gold, and forex.
