Trump to sign order increasing access to retirement savings plans - report

President Trump signed an executive order to create a government website that helps Americans find and compare private retirement savings plans, aimed at people whose employers don’t offer such plans. The move is a government policy action that could broaden retirement-plan participation and potentially boost assets managed by financial firms and asset managers. Market-watch lists on the page highlight financial-services names (e.g., Charles Schwab, T. Rowe Price, State Street) showing modest intraday gains. Overall, the announcement is a policy statement with likely gradual, sector-specific upside for financials and ETF flows rather than an immediate market-moving event for the broader US SP 500.
