Impact of Trump's Cabinet on Markets
The potential effects of President-elect Trump's cabinet picks could lead to significant market fluctuations. Analysts suggest that Trump's administration may adopt a more inflationary approach, particularly with proposed trade policies and immigration strategies, which could result in increased U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar.
