President-Elect Trump completed his Cabinet picks this weekend with the naming of Scott Bessent to lead the Treasury Department. From what I have read about Bessent, he doesn’t seem to be a controversial figure like several of the Cabinet nominees and the stock market seemed to approve with a nice northerly move today.
