Sheng Nan, global multi-asset strategist of Morgan Asset Management, said that it is expected that the economic policy of US President-elect Trump will be generally beneficial to the local economy, but the implementation order of specific policies will also determine the growth trajectory in the next two years. Sheng Nan mentioned that Trump pays more attention to deregulation and measures to boost finance by extending tax cuts, which will improve business confidence, open capital markets and accelerate growth and return on assets. However, if the focus is on immigration and tariff policies, the interruption of labor supply or trade may have negative consequences, inhibit economic growth and lead to asset market fluctuations.
