Sasfin Securities' David Shapiro says the way investors in the Americas behave going forward - will be entirely dependant on Donald Trump.
Shapiro believes a major concern for investors is that the US president-elect is not primarily a politician.

Trump's win at the polls saw markets get off to a shaky start yesterday, as a number of investors had backed Hillary Clinton.
