Global stocks responded positively to the prospect of a Biden presidency, after days of uncertainty.  On Monday, the FTSE 100 topped the 6,000 mark for the first time in a month and had its best day since March, adding £70bn to its value.  Both the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 reached intraday all-time highs and shares in Japan hit a 29-year high.  Stocks experienced a more modest rally on Tuesday, investor caution capped gains, with tech shares remaining under pressure.
