While there are those that have already reacted to the news of Trump being elected, and the stock market has fluctuated. I think it is almost pointless to actually make a call on how this going to go with Trump in office. Most of the articles and opinions of this is all follow one of the main sentiments of the public, no one thought he was going to win. So once they get over that little hiccup in all their plans, I think we will get a better picture of what we will be dealing with. Though initially you have reports like "Under a President Donald Trump, markets expect higher volatility and higher prices for safe haven assets such as Treasuries, precious metals and the Japanese yen. How has Trump Getting Elected effected the Business Market"(pbs.org).
Though watching the market bounce right back to normal, after the initial shock is the strongest indication of what is going to happen. "Well, that was quick. Wall Street's midnight anziety about Donald Trump's victory appears to have been for nothing. The market snapped back quickly Wednesday morning, just hours after all the major indices tumbled badly overnight."(money.usnews.com). With all the coverage and grandizing what has been going on, I don't think anyone has really taken a moment to realize the world will keep turning. The fact of the matter is we have a president coming into office agian, that around half the country doesn't want.
The protest have been growing and desolving as they do, and there are extremest on both side. But for me it will be ok because people know there is a shark in the water and they are watching it. The thing that I believe would upset the market more would be if the "Dump Trump" campaign actually achieved what they are trying to do. "But others are taking things a step further, signing an online petition and writing letters to members of the Electoral College, asking them not to vote the way their states did at the polls" (cnn.com). While I don't think it will happen, to see how the system would react to such an event. I would rather see him in office, and that's saying a lot.
