US Election 2024 highlights: Celebrities to endorse Harris at Pennsylvania rally

US Election 2024 live: A victory of Donald Trump in the upcoming US presidential elections could lead to a stronger US dollar says a report by Barclays.

The report noted that in previous US presidential elections, such as in 2019, a possible Trump win was also linked with expectations of a stronger dollar.

The report said "one key difference this time compared with 2019 is that a potential Trump victory would likely imply a stronger USD. This would likely complicate the policy calculus for some - but, importantly, not all - central banks in Emerging Asia".

As per the report, this anticipated strength in the dollar may influence the monetary policy strategies of some central banks, particularly in emerging markets across Asia. (ANI)
