FUNDAMENTAL REVIEW FOR THE WEEK (20 - 24 January 2025)

Trump is on the threshold: what to expect from the inauguration and its impact on the markets?

The inauguration of Donald Trump is expected in the coming week, which will be a defining moment for financial markets. Markets will depend on his rhetoric and actions, including possible executive orders that could affect economic data and the decisions of the Federal Reserve.

Trump, who will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, plans to issue more than 200 executive orders in the first hours of his term. Investors are closely watching how these plans could affect inflation and possible changes in the Fed's interest rates.

Unlike his first term, when the main priority was tax cuts, Trump will now focus on extending the 2017 tax cuts. He also intends to reduce corporate taxes for companies producing in the United States but plans to increase trade tariffs to finance these measures. This could negatively affect the stock market, which is expected to react to his actions.

On Monday, the big event will be Donald Trump's inauguration at 8:00 p.m. Moscow time. After the ceremony, he will give a speech and then sign several executive orders. After that, Trump will attend three balls dedicated to his appointment to the post, where he will also give speeches. It is important to note that today is a holiday in the United States, and all financial markets will be closed. #analytics
