Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures soar as Trump declared winner
Published On Nov 6, 2024, 5:59 AM
US stock futures have surged in response to Donald Trump's projected victory over Kamala Harris in the presidential election. This victory has prompted a rise in various market sectors, including a significant jump in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 futures, indicating strong optimism among investors. The small-cap Russell 2000 index also saw substantial gains, as did Bitcoin, hitting new records. The Democratic control of the Senate was lost, which many investors believe will influence policy directions favorably for businesses in the coming years, particularly regarding lower taxes and deregulation.
Stock Forecasts
TSLA
Positive
The stock market's reaction to Trump's victory indicates investor confidence in potential pro-business policies, including lower taxes and deregulation. This sentiment could encourage investment flows into sectors likely to benefit from these policies, such as energy and financials.
JPM
Positive
With a potential GOP majority in the Senate and a pro-business climate expected under Trump, stocks like JP Morgan Chase (JPM) may gain traction, especially with the anticipated easing of regulations.
IWM
Positive
The significant rally in the Russell 2000 index suggests that smaller, domestic companies will prosper under Trump's administration, as they often benefit from tariffs and a stronger dollar.
QQQ
Negative
Higher inflation concerns, due to increased tariffs, might affect tech-heavy indices negatively as investors fear valuation pressure. This could lead to cautious investing in high multiple growth stocks.
