After Mr. Trump's attempted assassination, traders will initially pile into safe havens when markets open and reassess the trades most relevant to his candidacy, according to market watchers. "There is no doubt that Asian markets will move to protective or safe haven assets in the morning," said Nick Twidale, chief market analyst at ATFX Global Markets. "I think gold could test new highs, we will see the yen and dollar being bought and money flowing into Treasuries." However, early market sentiment suggests that the shooting will improve Mr. Trump's chances of winning the election, which will shift the focus to the securities most affected by his policies and could ultimately have a negative impact on Treasuries. Assets linked to the so-called "Trump trade" range from the dollar to US Treasuries, as well as stocks in private prisons, credit card companies and health insurers.
