Donald Trump is poised to ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, coinciding with his anticipated selection as Time magazine's 'Person of the Year', according to sources familiar with the matter.

Time magazine has not commented on the selection. Trump's selection highlights his influential role on Wall Street, as reflected during his presidency when he often tied his success to the stock market's performance. Historically, the honor of ringing the opening bell is reserved for business leaders marking significant achievements, though some celebrities and politicians have done so as well.

Trump was named Time's 'Person of the Year' in 2016. In 2020, the title was awarded to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, while Taylor Swift received the recognition last year.
