Gold and oil rose further as geopolitical tensions remained in the spotlight, while Bitcoin hit fresh records as it closed in on 100K, boosted by optimism that Trump’s election victory victory will mean crypto-friendly policies. In the FX space, the yen was also bid, supported by some hawkish remarks from the BoJ governor, implying a rate hike was not off the table in December. Elsewhere, the EUR/USD broke below the 1.05 handle amid hawkish repricing of US rates and ongoing concerns over Eurozone economy, while the GBP/USD slipped below the 1.26 level to hit its lowest point since mid-May.
