Since Donald Trump's second term began, the S&P 500 has experienced a significant downturn, falling by 7% since his inauguration on January 20th. This performance contrasts sharply with the same period in his first term, when the S&P 500 was up by 5%. Trump has now been in power for 50 days. Other major indices have also seen declines during Trump's second term. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped by 3.6%, while the Nasdaq has fallen by 11%. The Russell 2000, composed of smaller companies, has suffered a robust loss of 11.3%. These declines mark the worst performance for the S&P 500 in the first year of a presidential term since 2009 and 2001. The S&P 500 reached a historic peak on February 19 before the recent downturn, which followed a rally triggered by Trump's election victory on November 5, 2024. In the cryptocurrency market, despite Trump's promises to support both traditional and crypto markets, performance has been lackluster. Bitcoin, for instance, has not performed as well as it did during Trump's first term. Among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, only $TRON has shown a positive price increase of 2.9% since Trump's inauguration. Other notable cryptocurrencies like $HBAR, $XRP, $XLM, and $ADA have been mentioned as potential candidates for strategic reserves. Meanwhile, companies like Tesla and Nvidia have also faced significant losses in the stock market.
