"As I turn on the trading screens this morning the markets have seemed to calm a bit," said Chris Gaffney, president of EverBank World Markets.

Clinton called Trump to concede the presidential election early Wednesday after a stunning turn of events in Tuesday's contest.
ThinkMarkets' senior market analyst Matt Simpson warned in a note that with markets having priced in a Clinton victory previously, it left the potential for "some nasty whipsaws over the next eight to 12 hours" in the event of unexpected outcomes in individual states.

Both currencies have been on investors' radar since Trump said in October he would renegotiate the trilateral North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the U.S., Canada and Mexico — an event that could have a negative impact on the economies of the latter two.
"The Trump victory would be detrimental to both economies," Stephen Innes, a senior trader at OANDA told CNBC by email, explaining that a President Trump would be more detrimental to Mexico and the peso because it could "increase the odds of driving the (Mexican) economy into recession, given his protectionist rhetoric and likely tariff hike."
