Small business in the United States, which is typically highly exposed to the performance of the domestic economy, is enthralled by the outlook on the incoming administration. The NFIB Small Business Optimism indicator recorded the strongest 2-month gain since the election of President Reagan in the early 1980s. Other business as well as consumer sentiment indicators improved, too, although the pickup was not as spectacular.
