The US election doesn't change geopolitical truths facing the EU:

(i) China and Russia are allies - China is Putin's biggest enabler; (ii) the EU depends on the US for military protection, the US does NOT in any way depend on the EU. Strategic autonomy is a dangerous illusion... Source: Robin Brooks

Pennsylvania is the key state to watch. The winner there might takes it all.

Volatility on this state in betting websites is huge and should not be overread. A few hours ago Trump is back on top (Polymarkets). That could flip again today.

🚨 US ELECTION UPDATE >>> The "Trump trade" took a hit yesterdy (see bitcoin now trading below $70k).

One of the reasons could be this: Yesterday saw a big jump in Kamala's Michigan odds where she is again back on top; Wisconsin is also on the cusp of going back blue. After Trump had a comfortable lead in all swing states over the past week (he still leads comfortably in AZ, NC, PA, NV, GA) there has been a reversal in MI and WI. Thuis makes the race tighter hence some profit taking. Source: zerohedge
