Markets in first week of President Trump

This is LCG’s look ahead to the key events in markets for the week starting January 23rd, 2017.

It’s the first week of Donald Trump’s presidency and if his style to-date is anything to go by – he may choose to rock the boat – potentially upending recent quiet in markets.


President Trump’s aides have suggested he is preparing to sign a number of ‘executive orders’ during his first week in the White House. Some of the issues he could tackle may have a direct impact on markets.

Also on the docket this week: The UK Supreme court appeal decision, US and UK GDP data, European PMIs and a potential reversal in the price of gold.
