1248 GMT - Trump's inauguration speech looks like an advertising for America's market, Canyon Partners Chief Executive Officer Josh Friedman tells Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

"High-interest rates and inflationary environment reduce M&A activity." Separately, Europe still offers excellent opportunities, he says. ( najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
