According to JPMorgan’s Gratzer, the initial two years of Trump’s administration could be “significant” for U.S. institutions if tax, deregulation, and crypto policy changes are implemented.
During the initial two years of Trump’s administration, Stefan Gratzer, JPMorgan’s managing director and head of institutional wealth management for Switzerland, stated that the anticipated policy changes on tax, crypto, and deregulation could have an impact on banks. Gratzer emphasized that it would be imperative to observe the implementation of Trump’s crypto policy.
The JPMorgan official stated that Trump’s pro-crypto policies were entirely novel, and no one was aware of their implications. Nevertheless, Gratzer maintained that the optimism that had been cultivated in anticipation of Trump’s promised deregulation and tax cuts would facilitate the unlocking of gains in an economy that was already flourishing. He noted that many anticipated that Trump’s crypto deregulation, among his other promises, would accelerate economic growth, much like the Federal Reserve’s transition to a “soft money” posture.
JPMorgan’s Gratzer observed that Trump’s pro-crypto policy changes could be implemented within the next two years due to his support in the Senate and the House. He continued to elaborate that a deregulated crypto market was likely to generate new business for U.S. lenders. The comments made by Gratzer indicated that the resurgence of Trump would have a significant impact on sustainable investing. The easing of monetary policy has historically coincided with a rise in the price of crypto, which has resulted in a reduction in the cost of borrowing money.
Additionally, Mike Mayo, an analyst at Wells Fargo, observed that Trump’s policies could significantly alter the regulatory landscape of the banking sector. Banks may benefit from reduced regulatory risks by fostering loan growth, investment bank revenues, and a more pro-growth stance, which could ultimately enhance their profitability.
According to CoinGecko’s most recent data, bank equities and crypto were among the most significant beneficiaries as markets continued to respond to Trump’s reelection, as Bitcoin surpassed the $80,000 threshold.
JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup shares increased by 8%, Wells Fargo stock gained 12%, Bank of America stock climbed 7%, Morgan Stanley shares increased by 9%, and Goldman Sachs added 10% in the wake of Trump’s victory, according to a Quartz report.
Trump’s policies would have a global impact, as economies that are closely associated with U.S. trade policy are prepared to endure the burden of the consequences.
Reuters predicted that Europe’s banks would encounter a substantial obstacle in their efforts to narrow the gap with their U.S. counterparts, such as JPMorgan Chase, as Wall Street anticipated a new era of Trump’s deregulation. The value of U.S. banks had increased and they had seized a significant portion of the investment banking market, while lenders in the Eurozone and Britain were experiencing low profitability and fragile economies.
