Goldman Sachs stockGoldman Sachs stock is rallying today (Wednesday) on news that President-elect Donald Trump has tapped former Goldman partner Steven Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary.

Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) were up more than 3% in morning trading to a 52-week high of $219.07.

Goldman has spawned several Treasury secretaries over the years, including Henry Paulson and Robert Rubin. Here are some key details about 77th Treasury Secretary of the United States.

Mnuchin's stint with Lampert lasted less than a year. He left to work as a portfolio manager for billionaire financier George Soros. After a year with Soros, Mnuchin left in September 2004 to start his own hedge fund, Dune Capital Management.

Stocks across the board were up following Mnuchin's appointment and his ambitious pledges. Bank stocks did particularly well. While Goldman Sachs stock was up more than 3% this morning, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) was up 1.2%, and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) gained 1.1%.

Bank stocks have jumped since Trump's victory on Nov. 8 and now have a new catalyst in Mnuchin. Here's the outlook for Goldman Sachs stock looking forward...
