While the market tends to rise whether its a Republican or Democrat who takes office, investors are wondering how Trump's plan of higher tariffs and lower tax rates will play out.

Trump's ability to drive change will likely depend on whether his fellow Republicans secure control of Congress, a result still to be determined.

Along with a rise in bank stocks, cryptocurrency and Tesla are also on the upswing.

Trump has been passionate about making America the "crypto capital of the world", and so far, things are headed in the right direction — with Bitcoin soaring to an all-time high above $75,000, up 7%, according to Coindesk.

Other cryptocurrencies are also up, including dogecoin — a favorite of Elon Musk. Coinbase, a crypto-related company, also jumped 19.4%.

Speaking of Musk, it's no surprise to see Tesla on the rise with a 15.1% jump — while its rival Rivian Automotive fell 7.3%.
