NEUTRAL IMPACT
The legal move by Donald Trump could influence investor sentiment towards Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC), given its direct association with Trump.
While the legal proceedings are not directly related to DWAC's operational business, the company's stock price is often sensitive to news about Trump due to its planned merger with Trump Media & Technology Group. However, the outcome of this legal appeal is uncertain, making the short-term impact on DWAC's stock price neutral but worth monitoring for developments.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
Trump's Supreme Court appeal is unlikely to have a direct short-term impact on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), given its broad market exposure.
SPY, as a broad market ETF, is generally insulated from the direct impacts of individual legal cases, including those involving political figures. The ETF's performance is more closely tied to overall market conditions and economic indicators than to specific legal developments involving Donald Trump.
