European and Asian stock markets experienced gains on Monday, while Bitcoin surged to a record high.

This upward trend coincided with Donald Trump’s preparation to return to the presidency of the world’s largest economy.

The dollar exhibited mixed performance against its main rivals, and oil prices saw a decline. Bitcoin reached an all-time high of over $109,000, fueled by Trump’s indications of plans to deregulate the cryptocurrency sector as he prepares for his inauguration as US president.

Over the weekend, Trump launched his own cryptocurrency, a so-called meme coin appropriately called $TRUMP, sparking feverish buying that sent its market capitalisation soaring to several billion dollars.

“Markets are beating to the drum of Donald Trump on the day of his return to the White House,” noted Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.

London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index and Frankfurt’s DAX traded close to record highs approaching the halfway stage.

Wall Street shuts Monday for the Martin Luther King holiday.

Ahead of the inauguration, sentiment has been boosted by positive talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping that soothed worries about the incoming US leader’s second term.

Trump still plans, however, to impose hefty tariffs on imports, fanning fears of another debilitating trade war between the US and China, the world’s second-largest economy.

Pledges to slash taxes, regulations, and immigration have also led to concerns that inflation could be reignited and force the Federal Reserve to hold off cutting interest rates further, with some observers even flagging possible hikes.

“The start of a new presidency often brings fresh energy — and uncertainty — to the financial markets,” said Saxo Markets chief investment strategist Charu Chanana.

“With Donald Trump’s inauguration, investors are bracing for significant policy shifts. This could mean changes in taxes, spending, and trade agreements.”

Hong Kong’s stock market led gains in Asia amid hopes that the feared trade war can be averted.

Seoul slipped after the Bank of Korea cut its 2025 economic growth forecast owing to weakening sentiment and political risks following last month’s brief declaration of martial law by President Yoon Suk Yeol and the political crisis it has sparked.

There was little relief from news that the South Korean central bank had unveiled a $250 billion support package for its exporters, citing the risk of possible tariffs by Trump.
