It’s Donald Trump officially the 47th President of the United States — and the intention to hit the ground. Trump has promised it Signing more than 50 executive orders fresh from his post, according to a person involved in his transition operation. Here are the two main themes that investors will be looking at.

Rates

“To me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff,'” Trump told the Chicago Economic Club in October. On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to charge a 20% universal rate For all imports to the US, 25% on Canadian and Mexican merchandise and more than 60% in Chinese products.

Tariffs are imposed by governments ostensibly to protect domestic industries. Companies that import goods pay for everything basically a taxraising costs. This encourages them to look for local suppliers.

With supply chains so globally integrated and much of the manufacturing taking place outside the US, it may be difficult for companies to move production to local shores. Therefore, the higher costs will be passed on to the consumer in the price increase.

In other words, tariffs can lead to more inflation.

Deportations

During the pre-inauguration event called “Make America Great Again Victory Rally”, Trump hostage to his supporters that “the invasion of our people will stop”. Like tariffs, stricter immigration policies – or outright deportations – are usually implemented to protect the domestic economy (among other reasons).

The theory is that with fewer people competing for each open position, it will be easier to get employment.

But many parts of the US economy, such as construction and agriculture, are undocumented immigrants workwho take jobs that are not wanted for the residents. Documented immigrants are also key to higher-skilled sectors such as technology, as Elon Musk’s clashes with Trump supporters have demonstrated. H-1B visas.

If reliable sources of labor disappear overnight, companies will have to raise wages to attract talent, which could reintroduce the prospect of the dreaded wage-price spiral.

Other policies

Trump has promised many other economic measures, such as corporate tax cuts, the legitimization of cryptocurrency, and the rolling back of green energy subsidies.

Tariffs, however, can have the biggest impact on the economy and financial institutions globally
