Goldman Sachs Shares Up 4.5% after Trump's Orders on Dodd-Frank
Source: Razor Forex Trading
Investment bank stocks had one of their best days on Friday after President Trump signed an executive order to start rolling back the 2010 Dodd-Frank bill, which was passed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
One of the biggest gainers today was Goldman Sachs Group with a whopping 4.57 percent gain on the day, closing at $240.95. This was one of the biggest one-day spikes in GS shares, second only to the 5.94% surge on November 9, 2016, which was driven by Trumps electoral victory.
As of today, Goldman shares are only about $10 away from taking out the all-time high at $250.70, recorded on October 29, 2007.

In this case, the "roll back" is most likely reducing or eliminating enforcement of the law.
Congress would have to make any changes to the law or repeal it.

And with no protections or assurances that we won't be swindled,
there is absolutely no reason to give them our business.
It may not collapse overnight but drip drip drip people
will instinctively pull away.
