๐ Stocks Soar Post-Election

Donald Trump's presidential win and the Republican control of the Senate have sent ripples through financial markets, spurring a surge in stocks and fueling investor speculation on policy shifts that could shape the economy.
Markets Surge Post-Election โ The Dow Jones jumped 1,503 points (3.6%), the S&P 500 gained 2.5%, and the Nasdaq rose nearly 3%. Investors are banking on continued economic growth and more market-friendly policies under Trumpโs leadership.
Cryptocurrency Boom โ Bitcoin reached a record $75,345, up nearly 8%, before settling. Shares of Coinbase rose 18%, as Trump's campaign support for cryptocurrencies fueled enthusiasm.
Looking Ahead โ Economists expect moves like extending the 2017 personal tax cuts and potential tariffs on trade partners, adding a layer of complexity to future economic growth.
Trump's re-election has triggered significant financial responses across just about every financial sector, including major movements in currencies and bonds.
Bond Market Shifts โ 10-year Treasury yields climbed significantly to reach 4.9%, the highest level seen in over a decade, as investors brace for increased government borrowing under the new administration. This shift suggests heightened demand for higher returns amid potential fiscal policy changes.
Dollar Strengthens โ The U.S. dollar surged 1.65% against major currencies, marking its biggest single-day gain in eight years. This reflects optimism around Trump's anticipated economic policies and expectations of stronger returns on dollar-based investments.
What can we expect to see from a Trump economy moving forward? Keep reading here to find out. ๐
