Trump defeated Democrat Kamala Harris and capped one of the most astounding political comebacks in American history. Trump has invited several foreign leaders to the swearing-in ceremony.

It is believed that one of the key events, globally, that will dominate the market mood in January 2025 will be President-elect Donald Trump's swearing-in or inauguration ceremony. While stock markets will keep a tab on the who's who attending the event, in a bid to gauge the US' possible diplomatic connections under the Trump administration, market watchers will also have their eyes peeled for Trump's policies.
