History Says There Are $8.44 Trillion Reasons the Trump Bull Market Is Running on Borrowed Time
Key PointsThe Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite have delivered outsize gains with President Donald Trump in the White House.
The Trump era bull market has been thriving, according to statistical analysis, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite experiencing substantial gains. The Dow Jones increased by 57%, the S&P 500 by 70%, and the Nasdaq Composite by a remarkable 142% during his first non-consecutive term. This progress has continued in his second term, starting from January 2025, driven by factors such as artificial intelligence infrastructure development, better-than-expected corporate earnings, and record share buybacks.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law in December 2017, played a significant role in this surge by reducing the top marginal corporate income tax rate to 21%, the lowest since 1939.
