It was a wild 24 hours for the markets as the United States voted Donald Trump into the White House. As he took the lead overnight the futures markets were down so much it triggered an emergency shut off for 5 minutes. By the morning however it seemed that investors had all but forgotten the decline and the markets opened only slightly lower. By the end of the day the Dow was up over 200 points which was a 1000 point reversal from the lows set the night before. The wild move sent stocks higher with all major indices closing in the green. The Dow 30 added 256, the S&P 500 added 23, and the Nasdaq 100 gained 57.
This unexpected win for Trump is likely to continue to cause market volatility as investors are unclear about his views on Wall Street. Tomorrow investors will continue to digest the election results along with a speech from a Federal reserve member in the morning.
