Obama re-elected as US President
Barack Obama's second four year term in the White House is a reality, with semi-official confirmations given just minutes after 4GMT when most media outlets, including NBC, CBS, SKY,AP, Bloomberg, projected Obama's victory in Ohio, a key state for Obama in order to guarantee another second four year mandate.
Mel Know, Editor at FXstreet.com, reports: "there were people somewhat surprised of the early confirmation of victory, but Obama has been picking off key swing states one by one. With 73% of the vote in, Ohio is projected to go to the president – no republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio. The president has also won in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, leaving Romney required to win all three battleground states of Ohio, Florida and Virginia, where the race is too close to call. But the president has already reached the magical 270 Electoral College mark. Game over."
The USD was sold-off aggressively as soon as the news of an Obama win came in, with markets pricing in an extended term from the president that has brought the US debt to GDP to uncharted territories by enjoying at the helm of the Fed ultra-dovish Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his quest for QE to infinity.According to John J Hardy, Head of FX Strategy at Saxo Bank, the Obama victory, "is more risk positive, USD negative as immediate reaction, but any further reaction in this direction could quickly fade as uncertainty over fiscal cliff settles, which would be USD positive and risk negative." - FXstreet.com
