Donald Trump, the president-elect, is set to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this Thursday, Bloomberg News reported, marking a moment that aligns with his commitment to reinvigorating the American economy. This event places Trump at the heart of a quintessential American financial institution, symbolizing his administration's economic ambitions.
The S&P 500 is up 5% since Trump won the election on November 5th.
Individuals with knowledge of the president-elect's agenda revealed the plans for his appearance at the NYSE, choosing to remain anonymous as the information had not been officially released. Attempts to obtain a comment from a Trump representative received no immediate response.

Throughout his first term, Trump witnessed significant stock market growth, which he attributed to the tax cut policies he implemented.
