President Trump will host officials from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq in the Oval Office on Monday, to mark his administration’s launch of new investment accounts for children.

The Treasury Department launched the “Trump Accounts” on July 4, allowing the accounts to receive contributions. An app for parents to fund their child’s account and explore financial education modules is also fully updated as of Saturday, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said last week officials from the two stock exchanges will ring their opening bells from the White House. Trading is open on the NYSE and Nasdaq from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT.

“We’re having a big opening bell ceremony next week, where the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are going to ring the bell from the Oval [Office] for the first time together,” Hassett told host Joe Kernen on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “And they’re doing that to celebrate the accounts, to make sure everybody knows it’s time to get an account for your kid,” he added. Trump’s public schedule for Monday includes a 9:30 a.m. Trump Accounts launch.
