President Trump has posted a new announcement on Truth Social, the social media platform. He wrote:
“Subject to SEC Approval, Companies and Corporations should no longer be forced to “Report” on a quarterly basis (Quarterly Reporting!), but rather to Report on a “Six (6) Month Basis.” This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies. Did you ever hear the statement that, “China has a 50 to 100 year view on management of a company, whereas we run our companies on a quarterly basis??? Not good!!!”
How Will Trump’s Statement Affect the Stock Market?
This latest post has the potential to affect the stock market. That’s because Donald Trump’s suggestion to shift from quarterly to semi-annual reporting could lead to reduced market volatility as companies may focus more on long-term strategies rather than short-term performance. This change might make U.S. companies more competitive with Chinese firms, potentially affecting the iShares MSCI China ETF by altering investor perceptions of U.S. and Chinese corporate governance. However, the transition could also introduce uncertainty in the short term, impacting investor confidence and market dynamics.
Here are some of the stocks that might be affected:
iShares MSCI China ETF ((MCHI)).
