Will President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" Be a Disaster for the Stock Market?
April 2 is shaping up to be a momentous day for Wall Street.
What a difference a few months can make. Beginning Nov. 6, just hours after Donald Trump had been elected as the 47th president, the mature stock-powered Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and innovation-inspired Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) all rocketed higher.
President Trump's return to the White House offered investors hope for an encore performance. During Trump's first term, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite gained 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively.
