Donald Trump is scheduled to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, where this determined president-elect to revive the American economy will be able to leave a celebratory image at the landmark of capitalism.
Anonymous sources revealed Trump's plans to visit the NYSE. Trump's representatives have not yet responded to requests for comment.
The trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange is perfect for a president-elect who often uses stock market performance to validate economic policies. The U.S. stock market surged rapidly during Trump's first term, which he attributed to his comprehensive tax cuts.
Polls show that one reason voters support Trump this year is his promise to promote economic growth through deregulation and further tax cuts.
The New York Stock Exchange regularly invites social celebrities and business leaders to attend the opening ceremony, especially on important anniversaries and during company IPOs. During Trump's first presidential term, First Lady Melania Trump rang the bell for her initiative against bullying.
This tradition dates back to 1956, when 10-year-old quiz show winner Leonard Ross was invited by the NYSE to ring the bell after answering a question about the stock market correctly.
