What’s up with the Stock Market(s)? Feb 8, 2021 the various stock market indexes all hit all time highs. Wow. First off, Trump was very business friendly – some would argue too business friendly (at the expense of the environment and labor. But the market has chugged happily upward based on the likelihood of a Biden win and the certainty of it after the election. Markets don’t like uncertainty, and Trump has been a wildcard on many things like trade and certain industries. But historically the markets have gone up after a presidential election no matter which party wins. Of course, there are sector winners (renewables) and losers (oil, coal and gas).
