The Journal sources add that Soros, a supporter of Hillary Clinton, was wary about the market and became bearish due to Trump’s win. However, Stocks and Treasury yields jumped amid the prospect of looser regulations in certain sectors, lower tax rates, and fiscal stimulus.
Soros Fund Management manages about $30 billion.
