As of Jan. 20, Donald Trump’s second term as president of the United States is finally upon us.

During the election season, Trump made countless policy promises to win voters — from strong stances on immigration, international trade and even bitcoin. But one of the top issues for voters, and potentially the reason he won the race, was the economy.

Now Trump has to deliver on those promises, and Trump’s voters won’t be the only ones watching for those policies. Wall Street is watching too.

“I don’t think it’s priced in,” Craig Sterling, head of U.S. equity research at Amundi U.S., said about upcoming Trump policies.

He noted that there has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding the specifics of Trump’s policies, and that uncertainty has made it hard for the market to price in the impact of those policies into current stock valuations. Or as Sterling says, “the market is going to pay for what it can see.”

According to The Wash Post, As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, stock market investors still need to price in several key factors:

Uncertainty over corporate tax rates: While Trump has proposed lowering the corporate tax rate to 15% from 21%, fiscal concerns may lead to the rate remaining unchanged or even increasing, which could disappoint markets1.
Trade policy and tariffs: Trump is expected to impose additional tariffs on imports from China and potentially Europe, which could impact various sectors differently. During previous trade conflicts, domestic-facing and defensive industries tended to outperform, while sectors like automobiles, capital goods, and technology hardware underperformed3.
Regulatory changes: Trump's administration is expected to bring less regulatory oversight, which could benefit certain industries but may also increase market volatility1.
Fiscal policy: Potential federal budget cuts and greater deregulation could impact different sectors of the economy1.
Cryptocurrency policies: Trump has promised to make America "the crypto capital of the planet," which has already led to increased interest in crypto-related investments2.
Banking sector reforms: Expected changes in capital reserve requirements and regulatory scrutiny could benefit the banking industry2.

Investors should be prepared for increased market volatility in 2025 as these policies unfold and their impacts become cleare
