USA "President Trump" is born - marking national policy stocks once again.

The Republican Trump will be inaugurated as the new president of the United States at 2 AM Japan time on the 21st. It is expected that he will sign a total of 100 executive orders on the first and second day, indicating a significant policy shift from the Biden administration. Just like the surge in stocks related to Cryptos that are driven by speculation, it is desired to mark the stocks that will benefit from regulatory easing. Additionally, regarding the overall market, since negative factors have been priced in, particularly concerning tariffs, there is also a growing interest in positive influences.

On the 17th, the US stock market rebounded. The Dow Inc rose by 334.70 points to 43,487.83, while the Nasdaq closed 291.91 points higher at 19,630.20. In addition to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) upward revision of global and domestic economic growth forecasts for 2025, optimistic views on the economy were spreading due to the better-than-expected number of housing starts and industrial production in December, leading to a rise after the opening. With the presidential inauguration set for the 20th, there are expectations for regulatory easing by the next administration and support measures for businesses and the economy.
