Markets optimistic as Trump returns to the White House Market futures were up on Monday morning ahead of Trump being inaugurated.
In anticipation of President-elect Donald Trump becoming the 47th president of the United States, investors are confident that the U.S. stock market will see a positive reaction - similar to when he was inaugurated in 2017.
Over his first 100 days in office, it rose 5 percent and in four years it rose roughly 19 percent – that is until the pandemic when it plummeted.
When Trump was first inaugurated in 2017, the S&P 500 had a 0.34 percent gain.
Although the U.S. stock market was closed on Monday in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, financial futures looked positive.
