Euro meltdown as currency plummets while Donald Trump claims US election victory


The Euro hit a four-month low as Donald Trump made his US election victory announcement, dropping nearly 2% as fears of US tariffs soar.

The currency was down nearly 2 cents as of 7.40am GMT, hitting a four-month low. However, European stock futures rose, including the pan-European Stoxx 600 and Germany’s DAX.
