"It's A Golden Age"
David Auerbach
January 21, 2025
Good Morning!
Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on yesterday’s Presidential Inauguration and implications of the potential economic implications of tariffs and other regulations.
From Bloomberg
"A more serene mood settled over markets after a rollercoaster session on Donald Trump’s first day in office, with investors looking past the threat of tariffs to the potential boost from fiscal stimulus and tax cuts.
US stock futures, Treasuries and the dollar all gained as traders chose to focus on the prospects for economic growth and corporate profits under Trump’s second four-year term. Still, the lack of an overall narrative on trade restrictions so far underscores the risk of higher volatility across financial markets.
“Risky assets should benefit from deregulation and tariffs emerging as not so bad as feared,” said Mohit Kumar, chief economist at Jefferies International Ltd. “For rates, less onerous tariffs and likely lower oil prices should be a positive. We do admit that there would be an additional element of volatility.”
While stopping short of imposing new tariffs on his first day in office, Trump ordered his administration to address unfair practices globally and outlined levies he expects to place on Canada and Mexico by Feb. 1. He demurred on whether he still planned to add tariffs to China and said he wasn’t considering an immediate universal tariff.
Contracts on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rose 0.4%. Bloomberg’s dollar gauge climbed 0.6%. Treasury 10-year yields dropped five basis points to 4.58%. The Mexican and Canadian currencies were among the worst-performing of 30 major currencies on Tuesday, with the peso and loonie both dropping about 1%. "
