Every new exit poll in the U.S. presidential election showed the race to be a nail-biter, sending investors stampeding to safe-haven assets.

Observers say the Dow Futures in the US is lower now than it was the day after 9/11.

Contests in key battleground states were too close to call throughout the night, severely denting Clinton's hopes of becoming the first female president in US history.

In a message which appeared to betray the nervousness in the Clinton camp, the Democratic nominee thanked her supporters "whatever happens tonight".

The current French ambassador to the United States has tweeted that the "world is collapsing before our eyes" as Donald Trump looks set to become US President.

Gerard Araud, who is the serving ambassador, tweeting his remarks as forecasters predict the Republican billionaire will defeat Hillary Clinton.

The 63-year-old said: "After Brexit and this election, everything is now possible. A world is collapsing before our eyes. Dizziness."

The experienced diplomat would need to work with Trump and his team if the Republican becomes President, making his remarks all the most astonishing. He later deleted the tweet.

Après Brexit et cette élection, tout est désormais possible. Un monde s'effondre devant nos yeux. Un vertige.

Forecasters in the US are now predicting that Trump will defeat Clinton to become the next US President.

Global financial markets have gone into freefall. The US dollar sank and stock markets slammed into reverse as investors faced the real possibility of a shock win by the Republican candidate that could upend the global political order.
