Investors are optimistic as Donald Trump returns to the White House, anticipating benefits from his pro-business agenda. Despite lingering concerns over his protectionist trade policies, the financial markets are hopeful that Trump's promises of tax cuts, deregulation, and immigration reforms will boost economic growth.
