"The markets will be very sensitive to this speech," said Jeff Muhlenkamp, a portfolio manager at investment management firm Muhlenkamp & Co. "Everyone right now is trying to parse every word and nuance that comes from Trump or his biggest allies."
"Financial markets are primed to move on any indication that the new administration might pursue a different course than it has telegraphed up until now," said Doug Peta, chief U.S. strategist at BCA Research.
In general, stocks have had a tepid reaction to presidential inauguration, although this time could be different given Trump's potential to be unpredictable and ability to shake markets with his commentary, investors said.
