In the two months since the election of Donald Trump equities, the dollar, commodities and Treasury yields have surged with financial markets anticipating both the changes the new administration will bring to U.S. economic policy and recasting their positions after the surprise Republican win.

The runs in equities and commodities have stayed largely intact but yields on Treasuries have begun to reverse and the dollar has followed them down.  Are we about to see a classic example of ‘buy the rumor and sell the fact’?

Join us as we try to untangle economic, political and  policy fact from fiction and look to the early market trends of the New Year.
