WTI vs. US dollar; which one Trump breaks first?

Today's volatility spectrum was not expecting any major deviation until Donald Trump changed the landscape in less than a minute as he was on the wires extending his campaign promise to clock into 'corporate taxes' and massive investment from the oil industry. 

Two assets; Leg up or down 

WTI managed to trade above water as prices closed today's session at $53.12 handle. On the other hand, the US dollar got a much-need, but unexpected boost as soon as Trump hit the wires. However, today's impetus during the NA session may be short-lived if by those same 2-3 weeks the new US administration fails to deliver a relevant tax package. 

Trade still at the top of Trump's agenda
