Trump's second term may offer new opportunities for South-east Asia, emerging markets, but create risks for export-driven economies

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.

The first item on their agenda was what they could learn from the United States in this regard
