(Bloomberg) — Global equities headed for a record high amid optimism about the outlook under a Joe Biden presidency. The dollar extended declines.Monday began with a continuation of last week’s embrace of risk, after Biden was declared the winner of the U.S. election on Saturday. S&P 500 futures were up about 1.5%, building on the strongest week since April for the benchmark, as the president-elect launched his transition effort. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index, which have outperformed since Tuesday’s vote, were up about 2%. There were also broad-based gains across the Asia Pacific.The yuan and euro ticked higher alongside the Australian and New Zealand dollars. Treasuries were little changed. Biden, in his victory speech over the weekend, promised swift action against the pandemic and an orderly transfer of power. Elsewhere, Turkey’s lira rose after the installment of a new central bank chief. Oil pared some of Friday’s slide.By being declared winner in Pennsylvania, Biden passed the threshold of 270 Electoral College votes needed to capture the presidency and media networks at the weekend declared him victorious. President Donald Trump is weighing legal challenges and has so far refused to concede.“Markets will probably judge this as this is no longer a contested election, that a delay even of the election result is not there either,” Ben Emons, managing director of global macro strategy at Medley Global Advisors, said on Bloomberg TV. “The first order of business Monday morning will really be about reassessing what the policy will be under a Biden presidency in terms of domestic and foreign policy.”With global equities heading for an all-time high closing level and coming off their best week since April — they rose more than 7% — investor focus will likely return to the global economic recovery.
