Monday 1/20

Equity and fixed-income markets are closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Trump is set to be sworn in for a second term as president on Monday. US stocks have looked sluggish at times over the past several weeks as rising rates and the debate over whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in 2025 sent the S&P 500 to its lowest levels since the election.

During his first term as president, Trump viewed the stock market as a barometer for his administration's success. Many investors expect that Trump will remain sensitive to a pullback in US stocks during his upcoming turn.

The Bank of Japan announces its monetary policy decision. The central bank is expected to raise its key short-term interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 0.5%. Despite this, the Japanese yen remains near a multidecade low against the greenback.
