Donald Trump is scheduled to address the media at 9am US Eastern time.
He will then attend a Cabinet Meeting at 11am.
Later in the day, Trump will sign additional executive orders at 3pm.
On February 4, he signed an executive order related to Iran.
This schedule comes at a time when markets are reacting to broader economic signals and policy decisions from Washington. His remarks at 9am may include references to recent economic data, trade discussions, or other policy matters that could shift market sentiment. A strong or unexpected statement could move prices when markets open, particularly for assets sensitive to government policy.
The Cabinet meeting at 11am could provide further clarity on the administration’s approach to economic and geopolitical concerns. While the discussion itself will not be public, any statements given afterwards may hint at policy shifts or reinforce previous positions. Traders will be watching closely for any indications of adjustments in fiscal or regulatory plans.
Later in the afternoon, the signing of additional executive orders at 3pm introduces another moment that could push markets one way or the other. Executive orders have previously influenced key sectors, from energy to finance, and whatever is signed today may do the same. Past actions suggest decisions related to international trade, domestic regulation, or federal spending could be on the table.
Earlier this month, Donald signed an executive order related to Iran, which held implications for sanctions and broader market dynamics. Iran’s role in energy markets means any future decisions regarding that region could impact pricing in multiple asset classes.
Volatility around key announcements has been a feature of recent sessions. The next few weeks are likely to bring further reactions as different pieces of policy take shape. Those of us engaged with short-term moves will need to keep an especially close eye on what is said and done at these scheduled events.
