TAKING STOCK: For her first trip to the New York Stock Exchange, First Lady Melania Trump arrived in lower Manhattan wearing a black sleeveless dress with black pumps.
In New York for the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly, FLOTUS was on her own this morning. President Trump, who continually cites the stock market’s strength despite trepidation about a looming recession, was due at the U.N. later in the morning to lead its event on religious freedom.
The all-business color choice of black made FLOTUS stand out amid fourth graders from the U.N.’s International School. “Be Best” flashed on light boxes all around the exchange and on the podium where the First Lady rang the opening bell at 9:30 a.m. to signal the start of Monday’s trading. “Be Best” refers to her initiative to enhance children’s well-being and safety and fight opiod abuse.
Before ringing the bell, the NYSE’s first female president Stacey Cunningham took the First Lady around the exchange, a tour that included an upper-floor stop to see the glass-encased Buttonwood Agreement, the exchange’s founding document, according to a pool report. The agreement’s name hails to 1792 when 24 stockbrokers signed the agreement under a buttonwood tree on Wall
