Trump in power - impact on UK and other economies
Discussion
Was hoping that pound would rise significantly as a result of Trumps win.
Maybe there will be a Brexit type reaction but having said that I understood the £ to $ relationship was a computer glitch that once fixed never saw the £ recover!
Suppose its a little early to see the ramifications as yet, give it a day or so??
I think that concrete and digger sales may be on the up.....may invest a few pounds in underground bunker installation companies

You'd think but seeing as the entire Democrat power base over the last two years of digging couldn't find any business filth on Trump you have to run with the weird fact that he has been far more kosher in business than anyone else that springs to mind. AMDBSTony said:

For a country that is most likely facing a hard exit from the EU unless the people of the EU manage to oust their political elites then a Trump government and its anti Europe stance is far more favourable than a Clinton one.

If Trump even begins to go through with his pre election rhetoric of the EU paying its fair share of defence spend or the US will leave NATO or the implementations of trade barriers with the EU then the real question is whether the EU will leap further in its current extremist direction or will the people force it back to being about free trade and not the eradication of incumbent cultures and identities.
The media is spouting about 'post truth' politics but obviously there has been no truth in the last 30 years as an elite have attempted to restructure societies into some Utopian dream. The real truth is that everything that we are seeing now is the final backlash to the gross mismanagement of the end of the industrial era of the West and the abject failure to deliver replacement work and opportunity to those who would have once found security and opportunity within industry. It's no coincidence that both here and the US that what we are seeing is a revolution from the old industrial heartlands using whatever tools they have at their disposal to fight an elitist political system which has not just comprehensively failed them but attacked them and tried to crush them.

Macs should now fall in price again, right?
I'm optimistic. Trump's acceptance speech was unusually conciliatory, and seemed to be a call to arms to America to rebuild, and not just walls. Domestically, I think it'll be good for American markets and I think too, we'll see, globally, a change of impetus, too. The uncertainty over defence, trade and environmental pacts with international partners will result in more volatility and uncertainty though, IMHO.
Overall though, we've been here so often of late, I wonder if markets won't react with quite as much volatility as we may once have thought. Maybe we have already priced much of the movement in. I think many clients are far more cognisant and accepting of political events creating volatility these days. So, no big changes in proposition. Interestingly, once again, the pollsters, many active fund managers and hedge funds seem to have got it wrong.

Trump has talked a lot about the evils of free trade deals...
Mind you, he tells a lot of porkies, so no-one knows if he will follow through his hints of erecting tariff barriers.
He has talked about pulling the US out of the WTO. The USA is the UK's largest export partner (14.5% of all UK exports in 2015) if you treat the EU as individual countries so anything that disrupts trade between us and them could be bad news.Mind you, he tells a lot of porkies, so no-one knows if he will follow through his hints of erecting tariff barriers.
