According to The Economic Times , Mr. Trump has promised to turn the United States into the “cryptocurrency capital of the planet” by loosening regulations and being more open to innovation.

"This is the initial reaction in the commodity market to the vote count in the US and the initial results in the direction of Mr. Trump's victory," said expert Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank (Denmark).
This expert believes that if the world witnesses a "Trump 2.0 scenario", metals will be at a disadvantage, while oil prices will fall due to concerns about economic growth, and tariffs will not be good for the world in general.
Global oil supplies could be disrupted if the new US administration tightens sanctions on oil shipments from Iran, which exports about 1.3 million barrels of oil per day.
