How has the S&P 500 performed under each U.S. president?

Since 1963, the stock market has experienced significant gains and losses across both Democratic and Republican administrations.

Here’s how the S&P 500 performed under each presidency:

🟢 Bill Clinton: +209.8%
🟢 Barack Obama: +181.1%
🟢 Ronald Reagan: +117.9%
🟢 Donald Trump (1st term): +67.3%
🟢 Joe Biden: +55.7%
🟢 George H. W. Bush: +51.8%
🟢 Lyndon B. Johnson: +46.6%
🟢 Jimmy Carter: +30.5%
🟢 Donald Trump (2nd term): +29.0% so far
🟢 Gerald Ford: +28.4%
🔴 Richard Nixon: -19.8%
🔴 George W. Bush: -36.7%

While presidential policies can influence markets, economic cycles, inflation, interest rates, and major global events also play significant roles in long-term performance.

Does who’s in the White House really determine where stocks go next?

This is one of the strangest economic crossovers of the year...

A gallon of diesel and a 30-year mortgage normally have almost nothing in common.

Diesel is driven by global crude and refined-product markets, while mortgage rates are driven by Treasury yields, Fed policy, and conditions in the mortgage market.

But right now, both are surging toward the same number.

- U.S. diesel: $6.53/gallon, a record high
- 30-year mortgage rate: 7.03%

Two completely different markets, both now sitting around a 7 handle 👀

Over the last 5 days, the market has kept pushing higher even after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since July 2023.

🟢 The S&P 500 has added over $1.2 trillion in market cap, rising 2.36%

🔴 The Volatility Index ($VIX) has fallen 17.38%

Despite tighter monetary policy, stocks moved higher while volatility got crushed — a sign investors have stayed confident through the rate hike.

Markets took a hit today…

The S&P 500 erased roughly $1 trillion in market value as the index fell 1.2%, with Big Tech leading the selloff.

The Magnificent 7 alone wiped out around $800 billion in market cap, driven by sharp declines in names like Tesla, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Nvidia.

A reminder of just how much influence a handful of companies have on the broader marke

This isn’t good…

The 30 Year Treasury Yield has hit its highest level since 2007 😳

Everyone watches the 10-year Treasury, but right now, the 30-year is the one standing out.

- 30Y: 5.12%
- 10Y: 4.59%
- 5Y: 3.92%
- 2Y: 3.79%

The full yield curve is telling a much bigger story than the headline 10-year 👀
