Trump 2.0 may create powerful tailwinds for two vastly different groups: big banks and small caps
Published On Feb 8, 2025, 11:00 AM
The article discusses the potential impact of the Trump administration on financials and small-cap stocks. Experts believe that deregulation and an increase in IPOs and mergers will benefit large banks such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, which are already seeing strong earnings and stock price gains. Additionally, small-cap stocks are expected to flourish due to less exposure to international market fluctuations, aligning with a focus on strengthening the U.S. economy. Investment vehicles like the Invesco KBW Bank ETF and various small-cap ETFs are highlighted as opportunities for investors.
