A recent survey indicates that 75% of global CEOs and 86% of investors anticipate an improvement in the global economy at the start of Donald Trump's administration, a notable increase from 45% a year prior. The survey, conducted by Teneo, reflects a surge in optimism among business leaders following Trump's election victory. SoftBank's CEO, Masayoshi Son, has pledged to invest $100 billion in the U.S. during Trump's second term, citing a significant boost in confidence regarding the U.S. economy. This investment is part of SoftBank's strategy to enhance its presence in the U.S. market, including plans for $100 billion in additional imports to fund the acquisition of U.S. Steel. The overall sentiment among CEOs and investors suggests expectations of increased hiring and greater investment as a result of what is being termed the 'Trump Effect.'
