US President Trump says they will be making the US military even stronger.

President Trump's announcement to strengthen the US military indicates a continued focus on defense spending, which could bolster sector-related equities and affect overall market sentiment. Additionally, this may lead to increased volatility in forex and commodity markets, particularly for safe-haven assets like gold and the USD, as geopolitical tensions can drive risk appetite shifts.
