Wall Street will see a holiday-shortened week ahead, but it will still be plenty busy.
Monday marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and also Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. President. Sentiment has been pressured by concerns over the inflationary impact of his policies, and investors will be paying close attention to the executive orders announced in the first days and weeks of the new administration.

Market participants will also be watching the S&P 500 (SP500) as the benchmark index nears record levels following this week’s boost from favorable inflation data.
