President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national energy emergency can be expected to spark seismic shifts in global markets and create a wave of opportunities for investors, predicts the CEO of one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory and asset management organizations.
deVere Group’s Nigel Green’s comments come as the new administration’s focus will be on ramping up domestic energy production, particularly in Alaska, and rolling back regulations like the “electric vehicle mandate.”
The announcement, on Day 1 of Trump’s return to power, underscores his administration’s commitment to energy independence as he said in his speech “Drill baby, drill.”
By unlocking Alaska’s untapped resources and unleashing new opportunities for oil and gas production, the initiative aims to stabilize and reduce energy prices—a cornerstone of economic growth.
Energy costs influence every facet of the economy, from consumer prices at the pump to the production costs of goods that rely on fossil fuels.
Nigel Green says: “The energy sector will undoubtedly be the most immediate beneficiary of this sweeping policy shift.
“Companies involved in oil and gas exploration, extraction, and infrastructure stand to gain as regulatory barriers are dismantled and investment in domestic production soars. Shares of US energy giants and mid-cap firms are likely poised for significant upward momentum as the markets price in increased output and profitability.
“Global oil prices, already sensitive to geopolitical developments, could see sharp adjustments.
“While increased US production may initially suppress prices, the broader implications—including shifts in OPEC strategies and trade balances—could lead to heightened volatility. This creates both opportunities and risks, particularly in commodities and energy-linked equities.”
“Beyond the energy sector, there will likely be positive effects on industries that rely on lower energy costs. Transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture are set to benefit from reduced operational expenses, potentially lifting their stock valuations.
“Investors should also watch for renewed interest in infrastructure projects tied to energy distribution, from pipelines to export terminals.”
The urgency for investors to position themselves cannot be overstated. Trump’s policies represent a decisive shift from the status quo, and markets are likely to respond rapidly.
Energy stocks are expected to see increased activity as US-based oil and gas companies, particularly those with significant interests in Alaska and other resource-rich regions, expand their operations.
Commodities such as crude oil may experience pricing shifts as domestic production impacts global supply dynamics. Infrastructure investments, including projects related to pipelines and export facilities, are also set to surge in demand.
Lower energy costs will likely catalyze growth across industries such as transportation, chemicals, and heavy manufacturing, creating additional opportunities for investors.
Trump’s bold move signals a return to prioritizing energy security and economic competitiveness. The rollback of regulations like the electric vehicle mandate highlights a shift in priorities—away from incentives for emerging technologies and toward bolstering traditional energy sectors.
This recalibration will resonate across markets, creating new dynamics and recalibrating investment strategies.
In addition, the focus on Alaska’s untapped potential underscores the administration’s intent to maximize domestic resources. With technological advancements making extraction more efficient and cost-effective, the region could emerge as a cornerstone of US energy dominance.
“The declaration of a national energy emergency marks a turning point for markets and a rallying cry for investors.
“With significant policy shifts on the horizon, the potential for growth is extraordinary—but so is the need for strategic action. Investors must act decisively, leveraging these developments to position themselves for what promises to be a transformative era,” affirms Nigel Green.
“As Trump’s administration sets the tone for a new era in energy policy, the potential for wealth creation is as vast as Alaska’s untapped resources,” he concludes.
