The “large, beautiful” tax law of US President Donald Trump was adopted by the House of Representatives on Thursday and is led to the Senate for approval.

If the legislation eliminates this hurdle and becomes the law, it reduces “taxes for many people, it increases expenses, especially with regard to the defense,” said Jed Ellerbroek, portfolio manager at Argent Capital Management, in an interview with CNBC. Simply put, the economy will strengthen at short notice, added Ellerbroek.

However, the invoice will probably continue to saddle America with a higher budget deficit. Tax reductions mean lower incomePresent While increased defense spending means that more money flows out of the government coffers. It is a question of simple arithmetic: less income and more expenses.

Although the yields of the US treasure roads, which are essentially state debts, have slightly mitigated from their Wednesday spike, they are still at an increased level compared to the beginning of the year. This indicates that investors are not so safe that they give the white house money and therefore demand more security in the form of higher yields.

Investors are pursuing a waiting-and-lake approach on the stock exchange, with both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average remain mostly unchanged after Trump's invoice has been passed.

There will be at least one piece of good news from Thursday. The Supreme Court of the United States emphasized that the members of the Federal Reserve could have protection from a president, which reduces the risk of another Trump administration through the soaked market melt.
