A Decisive Realignment U.S. equity markets soared to record highs this week after President-elect Trump scored a surprisingly decisive election victory, including a likely "trifecta" of Republican legislative control in Congress. The outcome sparked powerful moves across global financial markets as investors priced in a combination of domestic-focused and "pro-growth" economic policies but also reflected concern over deficits and immigration policy.

The S&P Small-Cap 600 soared 9%, outpacing 5% gains from the S&P 500. seekingalpha.com - 1 week ago
