In immediate response, stock market indexes around the world started falling. Japanese stocks were down 5%, Germany dropped 1%, and China was down 0.8%.
Meanwhile, Dow futures were down as much as 800 points or 5% in the early hours this morning.
At 3 a.m. after receiving a conciliatory call from Hillary Clinton  ̶  Trump took the stage in front of supporters. He said, “Now it’s a time for America to bind the wounds of division. It is time for us to come together as one united people.”

Trump and Markets

His words appeared to immediately calm the market. The Dow futures cut their losses to a more manageable 2%.
When the opening bell rang at 9:30 a.m., U.S. stocks opened only slightly lower. As of 11:30 a.m., stocks were trading higher:

  • Dow Jones industrials: +0.8%
  • Nasdaq: +0.7%
  • Russell 2000: +2.1%
  • S&P 500: +0.7%

It appears that Trump’s message to embrace all Americans has reduced some of the initial concerns. Similarly, Clinton’s prompt concession to Trump shows that where will be likely a smooth transition of power.
