Good MorningEquity markets surged on Wednesday after Donald Trump clinched a second term in the White House in an overwhelming victory. Opponent Kamala Harris conceded the race, quashing the idea the results would be contested, alleviating market fears and reducing the potential for volatility.
The S&P 500 surged more than 2.5% at the height of the session, breaking out to a new high and closing at the session's highs, indicating a high likelihood of higher highs to come. Trump's policies are expected to ease headwinds for businesses and consumers, reinvigorate economic activity, and boost S&P 500 earnings power, the primary driver of stock prices.
The S&P 500 could rise to 6,100 within days to a few weeks. The 6,100 level is a critical target for the stock market and a potential pivot point to a sustained rally in 2025. With the FOMC on track to reduce interest rates and a business and consumer-friendly president in the White House, the S&P may break above that target and trend higher through the end of 2025 Featured: “Fed Proof” Your Bank Account with THESE 4 Simple Steps (Weiss Ratings) |
