1 sector that stands to gain under the Trump administration — and 2 that could lose

Published On Feb 17, 2025, 7:37 PM

The article discusses how sectors are expected to be affected by actions taken during the early days of President Trump's second term. The technology sector is poised to benefit, particularly with initiatives promoting artificial intelligence and significant investments from major companies like SoftBank and Oracle. Conversely, the green energy sector may face challenges due to anticipated rollbacks on green incentives and a shift of investments towards fossil fuels, particularly oil and gas. The insurance sector may also experience uncertainty as potential changes to healthcare policies could alter the landscape for government-provided health insurance and impact home insurance policies in light of climate-related risks.
