Asian markets fell on Wednesday, with the US dollar weakening against major currencies following significant Democratic gains in the US elections. Democrats gained control of the Senate and are close to a majority in the House of Representatives, posing a political challenge for President Trump. The Nikkei 225 index dropped by 2.85%, influenced by declines in tech stocks and a stronger yen. Other Asian markets also saw losses, while Hong Kong was an exception with a slight increase. The US dollar depreciated against the euro, pound, and yen, impacting European futures as well. A Democratic majority could complicate Trump's economic agenda, raising risks of legislative gridlock and investigations.
