Published On Jan 20, 2025, 10:23 AM
On inauguration day for President-elect Donald Trump, U.S. stock market futures rose, indicating optimism among investors. This rise is fueled by expectations that Trump will take immediate actions to boost the economy, particularly benefiting the banking and energy sectors. Reports suggest he will not impose new tariffs initially, which reassured traders. Additionally, plans for executive actions related to deregulation and energy policy could further stimulate market confidence. Despite the positive sentiment, there are concerns regarding rising interest rates which may affect market stability.
