Investors welcomed Donald Trump's second inauguration, anticipating a pro-business agenda, while remaining wary of his protectionist trade policies, particularly his stance on tariffs.
During Trump's speech, stock futures traded higher, with contracts on the Standard & Poor's 500 index, the Nasdaq 100 index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average trading up between 0.4% and 0.5%.
But the dollar weakened ahead of the inauguration, as the Trump administration signaled that new tariffs would not be imposed on the new president's first day in office.
