Wall Street questions if Trump can turn his promises into policy

WASHINGTON (Jan 24): A number of Wall Street analysts are becoming increasingly concerned that President Donald Trump won't be able to follow through on several key proposals that he campaigned on, such as lowering corporate taxes and increasing infrastructure spending.

If he doesn't, or aspects of the reforms are pared back, their outlooks would become much less optimistic. 

Stocks in the US have rallied more than 8% since Trump was elected, but all of those gains were made between Nov. 8 and Jan. 6. Since then, markets have stalled as has consumer confidence.
