Love him or hate him, believe his statements or prefer to disprove them, President Donald Trump sure seemed to push the markets higher as he pledged to move quickly on the “phenomenal” tax code changes. Stocks surged immediately following Trump’s proclamation and continued the trend higher through Friday, with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) finishing 0.82% and 0.99% higher for the week, respectively.
But Donald Trump was far from the only big headline or big move made in the markets last week.
