Donald Trump is officially the 47th president of the United States — and plans to move to the ground. Trump promised signed more than 50 orders just after the inauguration, according to a person in his transition operation. Here are the two main issues that investors will be watching.

Tariffs

“I think the most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff,'” Trump told the Economic Club of Chicago in October. During the election campaign, Trump promised to charge a universal tariff 20%. on all imports into the US, 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico and more than 60% on Chinese products.

Governments impose tariffs to supposedly protect domestic industry. Companies that import goods pay what they have essentially a taxincreasing costs. This prompts them to look for local suppliers instead.

Because supply chains are so integrated around the world and so much manufacturing is done outside of the US, it can be difficult for companies to move production to local shores. Therefore, higher costs are more likely to be passed on to the consumer in the form of price increases.

In other words, tariffs can lead to higher inflation.

Deportations

At a pre-inauguration event called “Making America Great Again,” Trump laid down to his supporters that “the invasion of our country will be stopped.” Like tariffs, tougher immigration policies — or outright deportations — are usually put in place to protect the domestic economy (among other reasons).

The theory is that with fewer people competing for each job opening, it will be easier to get a job.

But many parts of the US economy, such as construction and agriculture, are staffed by undocumented immigrantswho get jobs that residents do not want. Even certified immigrants are critical to high-skilled sectors like tech — as evidenced by Elon Musk’s clash with Trump supporters over H-1B visas.

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

Other politicians

Trump has promised many other economic measures, such as cutting corporate taxes, legalizing cryptocurrency, and eliminating subsidies for green energy.

However, tariffs may have the greatest impact on the economy financial institutions globally.
