Republican Senate Control

With the Senate flipping to Republican control, Trump is likely to push through his proposed economic policies in 2025. Brian Gardner, chief Washington policy strategist at Stifel, remarked that winning the Senate has important implications for extending expiring tax cuts through reconciliation processes, assuming Republicans maintain control of the House.

Cryptocurrency Surge

The price of bitcoin soared to a record high of over $73,881, fueled by Trump's newfound support of the cryptocurrency sector during his campaign. Additionally, shares of Trump Media & Technology Group jumped over 24 percent as markets opened.
