It will be a bunch of historical oddities and awkward moments on Monday (Jan 6), when Donald Trump will be officially certified as the winner of the presidential election held on November 5, 2024.&nbsp;
This is the day when House of Representatives and Senate will hold a joint meeting for the certification process.
&nbsp;
<h2>What is odd about January 6 certification of Donald Trump's election as president?</h2>
The day will be awkward for Kamala Harris, the incumbent vice-president who was Trump's Democratic rival for presidency in November.
Because it is the vice president who signs off on the election certification, as per law.
But for Trump, it will be a sort of 'life comes full circle' moment.
Because the certification process is taking place at Capitol Hill, the very same place where a crowd, instigated by his denial of the election results of November 2020 that he lost, went on a rampage.&nbsp; Some of the Capitol riot cases are still ongoing&mdash;including those where Trump is an accused&mdash;and it would be interesting to see what he says on Monday.
<h2>What happens on election certification day?</h2>
As per the law, the US Congress meets to open, read aloud, and approve the sealed certificates from the states containing the electoral college votes, which are the ultimate deciders of US presidential elections.
The votes, kept in mahogany boxes meant only for this process, will be certified and approved at the joint sitting of the House and Senate.
In case there's any tie, then the House will vote again to break it, with each delegation representing the electoral college getting one vote. But such a tie hasn't happened in a couple of centuries.
The meeting is presided over by Harris in her role as president of the Senate.
She will eventually declare the winner, who this time happens to be the same person she fought vehemently on the campaign trail.
There is no scope for any election result denial or recount, as Trump has won a decisive 312 electoral college votes against 226 for Harris.

Trump slams Biden for half-mast flags</a>
<h2>Will there be scenes similar to 2021?</h2>
It is highly unlikely that the situation that had led to Capitol riot in 2021 will repeat this time.&nbsp;
During the riot, Trump supporters entered the chambers of Congress in a bid to physically stop the count of electoral votes that had declared Democrat Joe Biden, the current president, the winner.

In any case, high security is in place in and around the Capitol Hill, coming as it does just days after the New Orleans terror attack on New Year's night.
&ldquo;There will be no violence. There will be no attempt to mount an insurrection against the Constitution,&rdquo; Associated Press news agency quoted Democratic representative Jamie Raskin as saying. &ldquo;It will be a lot more like what we&rsquo;ve seen for the rest of American history.&rdquo;

Billionaire Elon Musk spent a staggering $250 million on United States President-elect Donald Trump's campaign through donations, to make him win the 2024 US presidential election, according to new campaign finance reports.&nbsp;

Musk spent more than $20 million into a mysterious super PAC and gave three separate cheques for $25 million each in the final weeks of the race.

Musk financed RBG PAC, according to the report the group filed Thursday (Dec 5) night with the Federal Election Commission.&nbsp;

The super PAC launched advertisements asserting that Trump did not support a federal abortion ban.

Musk also paid America PAC, a super PAC that reportedly spent $157 million, supporting Trump in the presidential race.&nbsp;

According to America PAC’s latest campaign finance report, Musk donated $238 million to the group throughout the election campaigns, including in-kind contributions.&nbsp;

Kamala Harris made history as the first woman, Black, and South Asian Vice President of the United States. Her journey resonates deeply with many, especially in her ancestral village, Thulasendrapuram in Tamil Nadu, India. This tiny village in the Tiruvarur district of the southern Indian state serves as a reminder of her extraordinary ancestry, connecting her ascent to international fame with her family's modest beginnings.

<h2>Kamala's family roots</h2>

Kamala Harris' maternal grandfather, P.V. Gopalan, was born in Thulasendrapuram, a small village in Tamil Nadu. Eventually, he relocated to Chennai, where he raised his daughter, Shyamala Gopalan, the mother of Kamala Harris. Through her mother's unwavering support and dedication to their Indian heritage as well as her grandfather's teachings, Harris developed a deep sense of her cultural roots in her childhood.&nbsp;

Kamala Harris: How a small village in India’s Tamil Nadu celebrates its ‘daughter’

The United States President-elect Donald Trump and incumbent President Joe Biden met at the White House's Oval Office on Wednesday (Nov 13) for a transition meeting following the Republican's election win&nbsp;last week, where he defeated Democratic&nbsp;candidate Kamala Harris.&nbsp;

During the meeting, Biden told&nbsp;Trump that he looks forward to a “smooth transition” in January, adding that he will “make sure” his predecessor as well as his&nbsp;soon-to-be&nbsp;successor is accommodated as he retakes the White House in January.

“Well, Mr. President-elect, former president, Donald,” Biden said as Trump sat next to him in the Oval Office. “Congratulations.”&nbsp;

"I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth, it'll be as smooth as it can get," Trump said.&nbsp;

The Democratic incumbent and his Republican soon-to-be successor were seen shaking hands after that.

'Looking forward to smooth transition,' Trump, Biden hold historic meet at White House

Kamala Harris had the backing of a motley group of hollywood and industry A-listers. Clearly, despite enjoying the support of tens of millions of people, they failed to win Harris the votes that she needed. So, is it safe to say then, that celebrity influence is not the golden ticket everyone was hoping for it to be?

WION decodes five main reasons why Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris fell short in her race against Donald Trump. Watch this report for more details!

Why Kamala Harris Lost The US Election?

In his election victory speech, Donald Trump reflected on his personal journey, stating that "God spared my life for a reason." He expressed gratitude and resolve as he outlined his vision for the future, emphasizing his determination to serve the American people. Watch in for more details!

US Elections 2024: Donald Trump Addresses Florida Supporters After Key Battleground Wins

The dollar soared on Wednesday and was set for its biggest one-day rise since March 2020 after Republican Donald Trump won the US presidential election, while the euro, Chinese yuan, and Mexican peso were among the biggest losers on potential new tariffs in the regions.

Trump beat Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris to retake the White House while Republicans also won a US Senate majority. Control of the House of Representatives remains in question, with Republicans currently holding a narrow majority.

A full sweep by Republicans would allow the party to make larger policy changes and in turn would likely provoke larger currency moves.

Trump’s policies on restricting illegal immigration, enacting new tariffs, lower taxes and deregulation may boost growth and inflation and could crimp the Federal Reserve’s ability to cut rates.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/what-trumps-victory-means-for-two-and-a-half-years-of-russia-ukraine-war-774105">Also read:&nbsp;What Trump’s victory means for two and a half years of Russia-Ukraine war</a>

"This can push inflation higher and force the Fed to a slower easing path, which is dollar-positive," said Nikos Tzabouras, senior market specialist at trading platform Tradu.

The eurozone, Mexico, China and Canada are viewed as being at risk of potential new tariffs, which may hurt economic growth in the regions and widen their interest rate differentials with the United States.

Nick Wood, Head of Execution at MillTechFX and Millennium Global notes that currency moves on Wednesday have been orderly, with currency pairs in general seeing volumes around 25 per cent to 30 per cent above usual.

That may have been helped by investors holding relatively light positions heading into the election.

“It seems like elements of the market were actually kind of running quite light in terms of risk, so therefore they can be a little bit more patient in terms of entering positions as opposed to feeling like you're the wrong side of something and having to exit a position at a speed,” he said.

A complicating factor for the dollar outlook longer term, meanwhile, could be that Trump has stated a preference for a weak US currency.

“Both this year, but also during his previous stay at the White House, he had essentially challenged the longstanding strong dollar mantra, because he prefers a weaker currency to help with exports and American economic activity," said Tzabouras.

"And he had also called for lower interest rates, so this could actually pose headwinds for the dollar in the long run as these policies begin to take shape.”

The dollar index was last up 1.72 percent at 105.17 and reached 105.44, the highest since July 3. The euro dropped 1.91 per cent to $1.0720 and got as low as $1.0683, the lowest since June 27.

The greenback rose 1.60 per cent to 154.02 Japanese yen and reached 154.48, the highest since July 30.

The Japanese yen could now approach levels that prompted officials to intervene and shore up the currency earlier this year.

Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said on Wednesday that the government intended to closely watch moves on the foreign exchange market, including speculative moves, with a higher sense of urgency.

Trump has also expressed favorable views on cryptocurrencies, which helped to lift bitcoin to a record high of $75,389. It was last up 7.3% at $74,181.

The Fed is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Thursday and investors will also watch for any new clues on whether the U.S. central bank could pause cuts in December.

A much stronger than expected jobs report for September led investors to pare back expectations on how many times the Fed is likely to cut rates. A much weaker than anticipated report for October has raised some doubts over this view though this data was clouded by the impact of recent hurricanes and labor strikes.

Traders are now pricing 65 per cent odds the Fed will also cut in December, down from 77% on Tuesday, according to the CME Group’s Fed Watch Tool.

The Bank of England is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points on Thursday, while the Riksbank is seen easing by 50 basis points and the Norges Bank is expected to stay on hold.

The eurozone, Mexico, China and Canada are viewed as being at risk of potential new tariffs, which may hurt economic growth in the regions and widen their interest rate differentials with the United States. Nick Wood, Head of Execution at MillTechFX and Millennium Global notes that currency moves on Wednesday have been orderly, with currency pairs in general seeing volumes around 25 per cent to 30 per cent above usual. That may have been helped by investors holding relatively light positions heading into the election. Watch | US Elections 2024: Trump's Actions Will Shape Future Relations, Says Kremlin × “It seems like elements of the market were actually kind of running quite light in terms of risk, so therefore they can be a little bit more patient in terms of entering positions as opposed to feeling like you're the wrong side of something and having to exit a position at a speed,” he said. A complicating factor for the dollar outlook longer term, meanwhile, could be that Trump has stated a preference for a weak US currency. “Both this year, but also during his previous stay at the White House, he had essentially challenged the longstanding strong dollar mantra, because he prefers a weaker currency to help with exports and American economic activity," said Tzabouras. "And he had also called for lower interest rates, so this could actually pose headwinds for the dollar in the long run as these policies begin to take shape.” The dollar index was last up 1.72 percent at 105.17 and reached 105.44, the highest since July 3. The euro dropped 1.91 per cent to $1.0720 and got as low as $1.0683, the lowest since June 27. The greenback rose 1.60 per cent to 154.02 Japanese yen and reached 154.48, the highest since July 30. The Japanese yen could now approach levels that prompted officials to intervene and shore up the currency earlier this year. Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said on Wednesday that the government intended to closely watch moves on the foreign exchange market, including speculative moves, with a higher sense of urgency. Trump has also expressed favorable views on cryptocurrencies, which helped to lift bitcoin to a record high of $75,389. It was last up 7.3% at $74,181. The Fed is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Thursday and investors will also watch for any new clues on whether the U.S. central bank could pause cuts in December. A much stronger than expected jobs report for September led investors to pare back expectations on how many times the Fed is likely to cut rates. A much weaker than anticipated report for October has raised some doubts over this view though this data was clouded by the impact of recent hurricanes and labor strikes. Traders are now pricing 65 per cent odds the Fed will also cut in December, down from 77% on Tuesday, according to the CME Group’s Fed Watch Tool. The Bank of England is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points on Thursday, while the Riksbank is seen easing by 50 basis points and the Norges Bank is expected to stay on hold.
