It seems American markets are holding their breath, waiting for Donald Trump to make his mark.

The US President-elect is due to be inaugurated on Saturday morning.

Scott Shellady from TJM Brokerage said there was a huge rally in the equity markets after Donald Trump was elected.

However, he told Rachel Smalley they're now hovering, hanging out for him to show them the money.

"But at the end of the day he keeps getting tapped on the shoulder by the grim reaper of an economy, that has not gotten any better since he was elected, so we're kind of in this limbo waiting for him to be inaugurated."

Scott Shellady fears the expectations on Donald Trump are too high.
