Trump 2.0: Can Wall Street handle round two?

    The complexity of navigating financial markets under a Trump presidency


    The 2024 US Presidential Election has been the talk of the town throughout the year, with anticipation building over whether the Democrats or Republicans would claim victory. With results now in, Donald Trump has returned as the 47th President of the United States.

    Reactions to his win are a mix of the expected and the unexpected, though the public response has shifted considerably from when Trump first took office in 2017 — this time, it’s less of a shock.

    Trump’s agenda during his term includes bold promises such as tax cuts, energy policies, cost reductions, increased tariffs, greater openness toward cryptocurrency, deportation of illegal immigrants, and a more lenient regulatory stance toward banks. Whether these quick-fire decisions will stand the test of time, or if they will prove to be short-sighted in the face of evolving global challenges is a topic for another conversation.

    With the leader now chosen, it’s time to face the bigger question: what impact will Trump’s victory have on the nation, the economy, and the banking sector?

    While there’s plenty of talk around this topic, we narrow in on the core cause-and-effect dynamics that could unfold in the banking sector.

    Are the big ol’ boys (banks) in for a treat?
