There have been mixed reactions in the financial world about how a second Trump term will impact the economy. On one hand, markets have been rallying, the S&P 500 is up about 3.5 percent since Election Day, and the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap companies is up by about 6 percent.
But on the other hand, officials like the head of the Bank of France, who is also a European Central Bank member, said that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda risks returning inflation to the United States and hurting economic growth worldwide.
