The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank as much as 40 points directly after Donald Trump took the oath of office at the Capitol. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also began to slide as Trump began his speech.

All three indexes are still in the green for the day, with the Dow at 19,790 as of 12:15 p.m. ET, but well off their intraday highs.
