US Stocks Rallied after Trump Inauguration
The S&P 500 index closed higher after the first full week of Donald Trump’s second presidency, as traders absorbed a blizzard of executive orders that so far point to less aggressive action on trade tariffs.
President Trump said that his administration would levy a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada starting February 1. He did not mention a tariff on China, one of the US’ biggest trade partners.
