Market futures are down ahead of the opening bell to start the trading week, following an up Friday in which forecasts for increased deregulation in U.S. economic policy and a better-than-expected non-farm payroll report spurred the bulls to higher highs, with the Dow closing just a few basis points shy of a full percentage point. To start the week, we look for follow-through that isn’t readily forthcoming; the S&P 500 is currently -5 points, the Dow -43 and Nasdaq -10.
President Trump’s latest executive order Friday dealt directly with repealing the financial regulatory reform law known as Dodd-Frank, which emerged following the Great Recession that began as a crisis among the “too big to fail” banks. It’s a complicated measure, involving more than half a dozen financial institutions' regulatory bodies, and thus will require more than the stroke of the president’s pen to make its repeal a reality. But that it looks to be directly in the sights of the administration encouraged market participants ahead of Super Bowl weekend.
