The definitive results of the elections are likely to draw out for some days but initial polls are suggesting a Republican victory that would trigger a Congress gridlock.

The foreseen Republican victory is likely to complicate the approval of the fiscal stimulus measures expected to be launched next year, which would ease pressure on the Fed to ramp up interest rate hikes.
