The first 100 days in function of President Donald Trump is the worst for the stock market before the start of the four -year term of a president since the 1970s.
The decrease in the S&P 500 of the S&P 500 from then Trump was sworn on January 20 to April 25, is the second worst first 100-day version that goes back to the start of the second term of President Richard Nixon, according to CFRA Research. Nixon saw the S&P 500 in 1973 9.9% tumbling, after a series of economic measures he took to combat inflation resulted in the recession from 1973 to 1975. Nixon would later resign in 1974 because of the Watergate scandal.
On average, the S&P 500 rises 2.1% for each president in the first 100 days, in data from years after the elections that went from 1944 to 2020, CFRA turned out.
The seriousness of the stock admission to start the presidency of Trump is in a clear contrast with the original euphoria after his election victory in November, when the S&P 500 was higher in the midst of trust, the former businessman would bring a lot to tax reductions and deregulation. From the election day to the Inauguration Day, the S&P 500 Advanced 3.7%, CFRA data shows.
The rally sputtered and then dived sharply when Trump used his early days in the office to continue other campaign injuries that investors had taken less seriously, in particular an aggressive approach to trade that many worries will increase inflation and push the US into a recession.
In April the S&P 500 took a dip, lost 10% in just two days and went briefly in the area of the Berenmarkt, after the “mutual” rate announcement of Trump. Trump then declined part of that announcement and gave countries a 90 -day break to negotiate again about deals, which calmed some worries of investors. Many are worried that there is further disadvantage.
“Everyone is looking for this soil here,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, editor of the Almanac of the stock dealer. “I still think it's a rally from the Berenmarkt, a kind of bounce species.

The S&P 500, which reached a closing high of 6,144.15 on 19 February, closed on Friday at 5,525.21. It deleted all the win after the November elections.
Certainly, Trump still has two trade days to reduce his losses. His first 100 days end technically on Tuesday. If the S&P 500 meets this week, it could come close to the third worst start – the decrease of 6.9% during the first 100 days of George W. Bush in 2001.
