Donald Trump’s first week in office has been a storm, to say the least. We discuss his actions regarding trade, fiscal stimulus and of course, all the market implications.
Trade wars: The topic of the wall on the Mexican border is high on Tump’s agenda and that weighs on the mood. Cancelling TPP was on the cards but is it good politics against China?
US dollar and trade: Markets were a bit unsure what to do with the US dollar amid Trump’s erratic week. We explain what supports the greenback in the recent moves and what hurts it.
Fiscal stimulus: Republicans are more likely to go with tax cuts while infrastructure spending seems to take the back foot. What does this mean?
Preview: Apart from following Trump, we have a Fed decision as well as the BOE, BJO and the Non-Farm Payrolls among other events.
