Asian Markets Mixed After Trump's Victory; ASX 200 Down 0.1%, Nikkei 225 Up 1.0%, European Markets Mixed Open

Following Donald Trump's election victory, Asian markets experienced a mixed start, with the ASX 200 index declining by 0.1% while the Nikkei 225 rose by 1.0%. The uncertainty surrounding potential higher U.S. tariffs and upcoming interest rate decisions from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) contributed to the cautious trading environment. In Europe, markets are anticipated to open in mixed territory as the implications of Trump's win settle in, alongside the focus on monetary policy decisions from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, which have recently cut interest rates.
