    Hi Bennybop,

    The result of the Presidential Election was known on the 8th/9th November 2016. Markets began to react to that new information on that date.

    The inauguration date is irrelevant to the market because it's a known event which is factored in well beforehand. The election, which provided an unknown result, was the market driver. I assumed as someone who posts on a share market forum you'd have a rudimentary grasp of this sort of thing, it seems I was mistaken.

    Cheers!
