Since its known, that Biden likely would not support this at this time, naturally the NYSE acts accordingly. While I hope I am wrong about the GA Senate runoffs, we cannot make our decisions based upon "hope." They have to be made based upon what is most likely to happen. With this in mind the NYSE and others are positioning themselves for a Democrat controlled Senate.
As for POTUS, his primary focus is on either running again in 2024 or having a large role in selecting the nominee. As such, I doubt he really expected his EO to be followed or implemented. It's mainly for optics and/or letting his policy agenda be known.
NYSE finger salute to Trump.
