US Election, how will it affect the market?
Magdalena 2024-11-08 US Equity Public

Optimism on Wall Street, going hand in hand with the strengthening of the dollar that was seen on Wednesday, also appeared during the election campaign, whenever the scales of victory tipped in favor of the former US president. This phenomenon has been hailed as “Trump trades,” i.e., investors taking such positions in the market that are likely to yield profits. How will that affect S&P 500? Well, during Donald Trump's first term in office, between 2017 and 2021, the main U.S. stock index, the S&P 500, rose more (by 68 percent) than under Biden - both up to then and up to now (51 percent). The changes in the investor sentiment will be worth watching, let's observe how the market will move as the elecorate cools.

I saw that the world's 10 richest people made something like 60 billion in just one day thanks to the increase in stock prices. Crazy

Market’s reaction to election results will be interesting to watch, especially with shifts in investor sentiment.

The ‘Trump trades’ effect really shows how much politics and billionaires can impact the S&P 500.

Gonna be a volatile period, let’s see what's next!
