Trump’s executive orders light up traders’ screens

Trump’s return to office came with a flurry of executive orders that are already moving markets. Here’s a closer look at what analysts are tracking:

💵 US Dollar: Tariffs and inflation expectations

According to Bloomberg, Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada could spark heightened volatility in currency markets. With traders anticipating inflationary pressures and limited rate cuts, the dollar may strengthen further, reflecting expectations of prolonged higher interest rates.

🛢️ Oil: Supply-side pressure 

Trump’s pro-energy agenda includes plans to refill strategic reserves “to the top” and revoke offshore drilling bans. J.P. Morgan notes that while these initiatives aim to boost domestic production, practical hurdles like pipeline approvals could delay impacts. For now, the tone of these policies alone may weigh on oil prices, even before supply changes materialize.

📈 S&P 500: Policy tailwinds ahead

The pro-business stance, particularly in the energy and AI sectors, could provide fresh momentum for stocks. As J.P. Morgan highlights, the lack of immediate tariff actions has provided crucial reassurance to markets. However, as these policies roll out, volatility may resurface, creating both risks and opportunities.

₿ Crypto: Expectations vs. reality

While some expected fireworks, the crypto market met Trump’s digital asset executive order with what Bloomberg calls “a shrug”—proving once again that in crypto, expectations and reality often dance to different tunes. While the initial reaction was muted, the evolving regulatory environment could still open doors for new opportunities in digital assets.

🥇 Gold: A haven for uncertainty

Gold remains a star performer benefiting from trade uncertainty. Analysts point to its dual role as an inflation hedge and safe haven, attracting renewed interest from investors looking to balance risks.
