도널드 트럼프의 당선 이후, 미국으로 생산을 재이전하는 데 집중하는 회사들의 주식이 이번 주에 급등했다. 이는 보호무역 정책이 강화될 것이라는 기대감에 의해 촉발된 것이다.

대표적으로 iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT)가 추적하는 장기 만기 미국 국채는 수요일에 1년 넘게 가장 큰 하락폭인 2.6% 이상 떨어졌다. 이는 투자자들이 고정 수익 자산을 매각한 결과로, 예산 적자가 확대되고 인플레이션이 상승할 것이라는 기대감이 커졌다. 이러한 상황은 도널드 트럼프의 대통령 선거 승리에 의해 촉발되었다.

Wall Street saw the first surge in risk aversion after Donald Trump's election victory last week, as concerns grew over potential tariffs and trade policy shifts spurred by the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low"> incoming administration's key appointments.</a>
Trump is reportedly considering Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for secretary of state and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) for national security advisor. Both are vocal hawks on China and NATO, raising concerns of a tougher U.S. stance that could strain key geopolitical and trade relationships.
Adding to the cautious sentiment, investors are bracing for Wednesday's key inflation data release, with economists forecasting the annual rate to hit 2.6% in October.
As of midday trading in New York, none of the major U.S. equity indices posted gains, while small caps underperformed, with the Russell 2000 down 1.5%. Ten out of 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in the red, with consumer staples the only marking tiny gains.
Chinese stocks suffered steep declines, with major U.S.-listed companies falling between 5% and 9% as worries over potential tariffs spooked investors.
The dollar, viewed as a hedge against tariff risk, strengthened, with a currency-weighted index reaching its highest level since May 2024. 
The Japanese yen slipped past 154.7 per dollar, fully erasing gains from the Bank of Japan's August intervention, while the Chinese yuan and the euro also weakened, with the euro falling below $1.06.
Treasury yields climbed, with the 10-year Treasury yield up eight basis points to 4.42%, pushing the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) down 1.2%.
The cryptocurrency market also faced pressure, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down 1.6%. Gold dropped for a third straight day, weighed down by a stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields, as it struggled to attract safe-haven inflows.

Stocks Fall On Tariffs Fears, Dollar Hits 6-Month Peak, Yen Tumbles: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russell-2000-index">Russell 2000 Index</a> has been showing signs of life in 2024, breaking out from a long-standing base and closing in on targets near 2450. 
According to JPMorgan analyst Jason Hunter, small-cap stocks may finally be ready to outperform their mega-cap tech peers. This may be good news for investors in the iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IJR#NYSE">IJR</a>), the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) and the Vanguard Small Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VB#NYSE">VB</a>)
But will this shift be the dawn of a new era, or just a fleeting moment in the spotlight?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Russell 2000 Sets Bullish Targets</h2>
Hunter points to a "bullish pattern progression" forming in 2024 as the Russell 2000 climbed from a multi-quarter base. Small caps have broken through the 2282-2299 resistance zone, making 2432-2486 the next short-term goal, and the move has shown no signs of losing steam yet. The recent rally in small-cap stocks, especially in the Russell 2000 Index, seems to be moving closer to 2021 cycle highs, which could mean a big shift in market dynamics.
For now, the index stays decisively bullish. As long as it holds above the 2260 post-election breakaway gap, Hunter sees the bulls maintaining control, with potential support anchored around the 2100s, courtesy of the 200-day moving average and October's breakout zone.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Cap Vs. NASDAQ 100: A New Market Leader?</h2>
According to Hunter, the Russell 2000's recent moves aren't just about technical strength – they're about a potential regime change.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="794" height="464" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12113039/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-9.58.55-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-643311" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12113039/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-9.58.55-PM.png 794w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12113039/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-9.58.55-PM-300x175.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12113039/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-9.58.55-PM-768x449.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" /></figure>
The ratio of the Russell 2000 to the NASDAQ 100 is flirting with key resistance levels. A breakout here would confirm that small caps are set to lead, while big tech, which has dominated for two years, may start to lag. 
Hunter calls this a "tentative rotation to more cyclically sensitive groups." This trend, he believes, could continue into 2025 if the Russell/NASDAQ ratio breaks out decisively this quarter.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving Small-Cap Strength?</h2>
Even before the election-driven rally in U.S. equities, post-September FOMC price action had already put a bullish wind at the back of small caps. Hunter notes that small caps have consistently held key supports, including the October channel and moving averages, creating a setup for continued gains.
The Russell 2000's next targets include 2585, derived from the recent ascending triangle pattern. If the index clears these levels, it could signal a more sustainable trend favoring cyclicals over mega-cap tech. But a reversal back below these supports could be a sign that the small-cap rally is just a temporary phenomenon.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyclicals In Control – For Now</h2>
Hunter's outlook stays cautiously optimistic, but he warns that the future performance of small caps versus tech hinges on whether they can maintain these breakout levels. While he sees continued bullish momentum into early 2025, Hunter emphasizes that tracking the Russell/NASDAQ ratio is key to confirming any real change in market leadership.
If this trend holds, 2024 could mark a major shift back to small caps and cyclicals. For now, though, it's up to the Russell 2000 to prove this rally is more than a fleeting burst of strength.

Russell 2000 Rallies, JPMorgan Analyst Says Small Cap May Outperform Mega-Cap Peers

Famed market analyst Tom Lee, managing partner of Fundstrat, summarized trade ideas on Monday following President-Elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">Donald Trump&#8217;s victory</a>. Fellow analyst Ryan Detrick concurred with two of Lee&#8217;s ideas.
Tom Lee&#8217;s Picks: Lee <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIIzr4_3MvU&amp;ab_channel=CNBCTelevision">appeared</a> on CNBC Monday morning, touting cyclical and small-cap stocks.
Lee asserted that energy stocks may not do as well as expected under a second Trump term, but cyclical industrial and financial stocks may perform well.
&#8220;This is for [industrials and financials]&#8230; a great environment, including M&amp;A, cost of money falling and deregulation,&#8221; Lee said.
The analyst noted that markets have begun pricing in future inflation, perhaps due to Trump&#8217;s plan to deport undocumented immigrants or run up fiscal spending. Lee says markets are unsure of Trump&#8217;s plans on trade, but noted that markets may shape policy to be pro-business. 
Lee subsequently touted small-cap companies due to their historical underperformance and cheap valuations compared to the S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>). He also noted that small-cap earnings are faster than those of their larger counterparts. Additionally, roughly 44% of small-caps are cyclical (regional banks and industrial stocks).
Detrick Agrees: Detrick agreed with Lee&#8217;s ideas following his appearance on CNBC.
&#8220;Good to see@fundstrat sticking with the small caps and cyclical themes. We are right there with him,&#8221; Detrick <a href="https://x.com/RyanDetrick/status/1855977336606269674">posted</a> on X on Monday.
Recent Price Action: The financial-focused Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) has performed well in the green since Trump&#8217;s win, up nearly 7%. Regional banks have performed even better—the iShares US Regional Banks ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAT#NYSE">IAT</a>) is up over 11% in that timeframe.
Meanwhile, industrials have also performed well; the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>) is up over 5%.
Small caps as a whole—reflected by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>)—are up over 7%.

Why Trump's Win Has 2 Market Experts Betting On Small Caps, Financials

The &#8220;Trump-related everything rally&#8221; reignited across markets on Monday, with heightened focus on last week's top performers like small caps, financials, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and cryptocurrencies, all surging as the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.benzinga.com/markets&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiQxOXV7NSJAxWUTKQEHQWeNCEQFnoECB8QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1FmExYgZnKyK1W0mkY7TrX">new trading week began.</a>
The Russell 2000 Index outperformed major large-cap indices, nearing a retest of its all-time high from November 2021.
Financials shone brightest again, with both large and regional banks posting strong gains. The SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) surged 3.9%, reaching levels last seen in August 2022.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also dominated headlines, surpassing the $85,000 milestone and fueling widespread gains across other crypto assets.
Major crypto-related stocks, including Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), rallied nearly 22%, hitting highs last seen in late November 2021. MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) soared 25%, with Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) and CleanSpark Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSLK#NASDAQ">CSLK</a>) both up by 21%.
Within tech, Tesla continued its rally, while the rest of the sector lagged, weighed down by sharp declines in semiconductors following new AI-related export restrictions to China, impacting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Elsewhere, the U.S. dollar extended its gains, while Treasury yields held steady, with the 10-year yield hovering around 4.3%.
Prices tumbled in commodities, with the exception of natural gas, which rose roughly 10%. Gold dropped over 2%, and oil fell by 3%.

Small Caps, Financials Rally As Bitcoin Blasts Past $85,000: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Donald Trump&#8216;s election as the 47th president of the United States sent Wall Street into a frenzy, driving major stock indexes to once <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41807254/trump-election-raises-odds-of-roaring-2020s-scenario-veteran-wall-street-investor-s">again break record highs.</a>
Investors are betting that Trump&#8217;s potential policies — such as lower corporate and individual taxes, coupled with deregulation in the financial sector — will spur growth for corporate America. They may be underestimating the impact of higher deficits <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41695926/a-republican-sweep-might-be-the-most-inflationary-election-outcome-economists-warn">and tariffs on inflation.</a>
Among mega-cap companies, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stood out, soaring about 30% this week, which significantly boosted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic">Elon Musk's wealth</a> in the wake of Trump's victory.
Small- and mid-sized stocks outperformed large caps, driven by expectations that trade restrictions could favor domestic businesses over global corporations. The Russell 2000 index, as tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), recorded its strongest week since April 2020, while regional banks – tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) – rallied to levels last seen before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/11/41788181/regional-bank-stocks-notch-strongest-day-in-4-years-why-analysts-expect-several-tailwinds-from-t">the March 2023 crisis.</a>
Cryptocurrencies were another major winner post-election, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) hitting new all-time highs as traders anticipate a favorable regulatory landscape for digital assets in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41832345/bitcoin-ethereum-rise-dogecoin-steady-after-fed-cuts-rate-analyst-predicts-apex-cryptos-ne">second Trump term.</a>
On Thursday, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41820253/fed-cuts-interest-rates-to-lowest-since-february-2023-sticks-to-data-driven-path">Federal Reserve cut interest rates</a> by 25 basis points to a target range of 4.5%-4.75%, as anticipated. This move further bolstered investor risk appetite, propelling the combined market valuation of the Magnificent Seven tech giants past the $17 trillion mark, setting a new record.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell Vs. Trump</h3>
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell downplayed Trump's threat of his removal, though economists anticipate the new president may not extend Powell's term beyond its 2026 expiration. Powell adopted a dovish tone, minimizing concerns over rising Treasury yields, which markets attribute <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41849984/powell-brushes-off-trumps-removal-threat-economists-say-2026-could-be-his-last-stand">to renewed inflation expectations.</a>

Trump's Win Sends Wall Street To Record Highs; Small Caps, Tesla Outperform, Fed Cuts Interest Rates: This Week In The Market

Following Donald Trump&#8216;s election victory, stocks of companies focused on reshoring production to the U.S. surged sharply this week, driven by expectations of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">more protectionist policies.</a>
The American Reshoring ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSHO#NYSE">RSHO</a>)—a fund investing in 30 companies committing to reshoring their production lines back home—jumped over 8% in the week, outpacing broader market indices. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 5% and on par with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Expert Sees A Reshoring Boom Ahead</h3>
Trump&#8217;s win has reignited investor optimism around reshoring, with policies likely to push U.S. companies to prioritize domestic production over cheaper overseas options.
"The case for reshoring is now well set with the Trump presidency," said Maurits Pots, CEO of Tema ETFs, in an exclusive Benzinga interview.
The new administration is expected to support trade protectionism and tariff increases, a strategy Maurits emphasized as a "key driver of reshoring and domestic manufacturing growth." 
"Companies used to think about what was my lowest cost of production," Pots said. "Now they're asking, ‘where can I get more secure, closer-to-home production?' Security in supply chains is increasingly outpacing cost in importance," he added. 
This shift towards U.S.-centered manufacturing appears to reflect market anticipation that the administration will implement policies with a "primarily U.S. focus," especially after the potential of a red sweep.
Heavy equipment manufacturers, often seen as bellwethers for industrial sentiment, were among the big winners this week. Caterpillar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) rose more than 8% post-election, signaling investors' heightened interest in U.S. industrial stocks.
Maurits highlighted a similar trend with equipment companies, such as Terex Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEX#NYSE">TEX</a>) .
He noted that these stocks "had very strong moves recently, indicating that expectations of a reacceleration in American capex will be a focus point for the administration."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trade Policies: Tariffs, Subsidies, And The Mexico &#8216;Nearshoring&#8217; Risk</h3>
"We believe tariffs may ultimately prove less harsh than threatened," said Pots, "but the mere uncertainty around tariffs will itself already form a catalyst for reshoring as companies increasingly value supply chain security and stability."
According to Pot, the Trump administration's stance could also discourage "nearshoring" — the trend of moving production closer to the U.S., but not quite on its soil, such as to Mexico. 
With Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexican goods, Mexico's appeal as a manufacturing hub may diminish, further driving interest in truly domestic production.
Interestingly, Pot highlighted that most of the reshoring incentives introduced during the Biden administration, including substantial investment packages like the CHIPS Act, have been concentrated in Republican-led states. 
This aspect of the fund distribution could protect these initiatives from potential rollback under Trump, as they align with his administration's agenda of strengthening U.S. manufacturing.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Victory Triggers 'Reshoring' Rally As Supply Chain Security Outweighs Cost

The S&amp;P 500 index surged past the 6,000-point milestone, setting fresh record highs, and small-cap stocks are poised for their best weekly performance since April 2024 as investor optimism surrounding the &#8220;Trump trade&#8221; continued to fuel a strong risk-on sentiment by the end of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">wild week in the market</a>. 
All major U.S. indices posted modest gains in midday trading, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average leading slightly, soaring beyond the 44,000-point mark. The blue-chip index is set for its best weekly performance in over a year.
Friday's rise in the S&amp;P 500 was powered by the utilities and real estate sectors, which had lagged post-election. Tech stocks took a breather following Thursday's rally.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) surged 7%, pushing its weekly gains beyond 27% and propelling its market cap past $1 trillion. 
This move now places every "Magnificent Seven" tech stock in the trillion-dollar club, with the group's combined market cap topping $17 trillion.
Treasury yields held steady, while the dollar strengthened in response to the Federal Reserve's Thursday 25-basis-point rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41823887/powell-dismisses-talk-of-resignation-after-trump-victory-says-policy-is-still-res">cut to 4.5%-4.75%</a>.
Gold softened, eyeing its worst week since late May, as both silver and oil dropped over 2% on the day. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 0.8%, extending its weekly gains to over 11%, marking its best week since July.

S&P 500 Breaks 6,000 Points, Dow Soars Above 44,000, Small Caps Eye Strongest Week In 4 Years, Tesla Hits $1 Trillion: What's Driving Markets Friday?

WIIM

Major indexes are higher following the Fed's rate cut and the US presidential election.

The University of Michigan&#8217;s widely followed consumer survey showed Friday that confidence hit a six-month high in November, driven by an optimistic future outlook <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">and stable inflation expectations.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">November Consumer Sentiment Report: Key Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>The consumer sentiment index rose from 70.5 in October to 73 points in November, marking a 3.5% monthly surge and surpassing economist estimates – as tracked by TradingEconomics – of 71, preliminary estimates from the University of Michigan showed.</li>
<li>The sub-index for consumer expectations increased from 71.1 to 78.5 points, marking the highest level since July 2021.</li>
<li>The sub-index for current conditions eased from 64.9 to 64.4. </li>
<li>The year-ahead inflation expectations fell from 2.7% to 2.6%, the lowest since December 2020. Long-term inflation expectations inched slightly higher from 3% to 3.1%.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economist Takeaways</h3>
The expectations index surged across all dimensions, reaching its highest reading since July 2021. 
&#8220;Expectations over personal finances climbed 6% in part due to strengthening income prospects, and short-run business conditions soared 9% in November. Long-run business conditions increased to its most favorable reading in nearly four years,&#8221; said University of Michigan&#8217;s Surveys of Consumers Director Joanne Hsu. 
Consumer sentiment is now roughly 50% higher than its June 2022 low, but remains below pre-pandemic readings, Hsu said. She added that interviews for the release concluded Monday and do not include reactions to the presidential election. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Stocks were little moved Friday, with major U.S. equity indices hovering broadly around the flatline during New York morning trading.
Small caps, tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (ARCA: IWM, inched 0.3% higher.
Real estate and utilities were the best performing sectors, up 1.3% and 1.2%, respectively. 
Treasury yields continued to fall on Friday, with the 10-year yield down by 5 basis points. As such, long-dated bond ETFs rallied, with the iShares 20 + Year Treasury bond ETF (NASAQ: TLT) rallied 1.3%.

US Consumer Sentiment Rises More Than Predicted To 6-Month Highs, Inflation Expectations Hit 4-Year Low

Leading economists offered contrasting views on Thursday after the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 25-basis-point rate cut, with some warning of persistent inflation risks while others supported the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41826586/wall-street-closes-at-record-highs-after-reassurance-from-powell-magnificent-7-hit-17-trillion-tre">central bank&#8217;s gradual easing approach</a>.
What Happened: Jason Furman, a key figure in 44th U.S. President Barack Obama&#8217;s administration expressed skepticism about the Fed&#8217;s balanced risk assessment, pointing to concerning inflation indicators. 
&#8220;Core PCE inflation is 2.7% (above target),&#8221; Furman noted on X, warning that inflation could climb to &#8220;2.8% or possibly even 2.9%.&#8221; He suggested this trend could complicate the Fed&#8217;s planned rate reduction schedule unless labor markets weaken significantly.

Wells Fargo struck a more moderate tone, with strategist Luis Alvarado <a href="https://x.com/yahoofinance/status/1854542364607447185?s=46">telling</a> Yahoo Finance they expect &#8220;another [cut] in December,&#8221; while maintaining flexibility about 2025 policy adjustments.
Why It Matters: The Fed&#8217;s decision, which lowered rates to 4.5%-4.75%, came amid robust economic indicators including 2.8% second-quarter GDP growth. Powell dismissed October&#8217;s weak employment data as temporary, citing strikes and weather disruptions.

Obama-Era Economist Jason Furman Warns Fed's Inflation Outlook May Be Too Optimistic — Peter Schiff Slams Powell's Strategy Amid National Debt Concerns

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed his campaign leader, Susie Wiles, as his chief of staff. This marks the first time in US history that a woman has been appointed to this influential position.
What Happened: Wiles, a seasoned GOP operative from Florida, will assume her new role when Trump takes office in January. Trump lauded Wiles for her pivotal role in his successful 2016 and 2020 campaigns, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4979786-susie-wiles-chief-of-staff/">reported</a> The Hill.
&#8220;Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,&#8221; said Trump, reported The Hill.
He said, &#8220;It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.&#8221;
Wiles, known for her low-profile approach, spearheaded Trump&#8217;s Florida operations during the 2016 campaign and later collaborated with Ron DeSantis (R) on his gubernatorial campaign. However, she left DeSantis&#8217;s team due to escalating tensions.
The chief of staff role, second only to the president in terms of influence, will see Wiles managing Trump and his team, a task that proved challenging during his first term. Trump&#8217;s initial choice for the role, Reince Priebus, was replaced after six months by John Kelly, who later became a vocal critic of Trump.

Why It Matters: Wiles&#8217; appointment comes on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766547/trump-gives-victory-speech-in-florida-as-winning-pennsylvania-puts-him-at-brink-of-victory-vows-to-f">heels of Trump&#8217;s victory</a> in the 2024 presidential election. Trump&#8217;s win, which he described as &#8220;the greatest political movement of all time,&#8221; was followed by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41807254/trump-election-raises-odds-of-roaring-2020s-scenario-veteran-wall-street-investor-s">surge in the U.S. stock market</a>, with analysts predicting a new &#8220;Roaring 2020s&#8221; scenario.
On Wednesday, after Trump won the election, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) shot up 2.5% to establish new record highs. The small-caps fund iShares Russell 2000 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) spiked 5.8%.
However, Trump also hinted at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction">potential senior role</a> for Robert Kennedy Jr. to advance his &#8220;Make America Healthy Again&#8221; agenda, causing uncertainty in pharmaceutical stocks.
With Wiles at the helm as chief of staff, it remains to be seen how these developments will unfold and shape the course of Trump&#8217;s second term in office.

Trump Appoints Susie Wiles As First Woman Chief Of Staff In US History, Calls Her Tough, Smart And Innovative

Major indexes are higher after the Fed cut rates by 25 bps. Investors also continue to assess the 2024 US presidential election.

After Wednesday&#8217;s &#8220;everything rally&#8221; spurred by the election results, investors took a less euphoric approach on Thursday ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.
The Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing them to a range of 4.5%-4.75%, following a previous 50-basis-point cut in September.
Yet, all eyes are on Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s comments at 2:30 p.m. ET regarding the potential for future rate hikes and his views on inflation risks. Concerns from the market center on the possibility of a policy U-turn driven by higher fiscal deficits and price pressures from trade tariffs under a Trump administration.
Tech stocks led gains, with the Nasdaq 100 extending its record-breaking levels, surpassing 21,000 points and eyeing a third consecutive positive session. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones posted more modest gains, while the Russell 2000 paused after Wednesday&#8217;s 5.8% leap.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) remained a top performer among mega-cap stocks, bolstered by expectations of Elon Musk&#8216;s influence in the upcoming administration.

Nasdaq 100 Extends Record Levels Ahead Of Fed Meeting, Tesla Hits 26-Month Highs, Small Caps Stall: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

The U.S. stock market erupted with gains following Donald Trump&#8216;s victory in the 2024 presidential election and a potential Republican sweep of Congress. This sets the stage for what some analysts call <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color">a new &#8220;Roaring 2020s.&#8221;</a>
The S&amp;P 500 — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — jumped 2.5% to fresh record highs on Wednesday, marking its best one-day performance in nearly two years and the strongest ever in a post-Election day.
Analysts and investors speculate that Trump&#8217;s planned corporate tax cuts and deregulation could fuel a prolonged rally in the stock market.
Notably, small-cap stocks, represented by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), surged 5.8%, reflecting investor optimism that domestic-focused companies could benefit most from protectionist policies expected under Trump&#8217;s administration.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A ‘Roaring 2020s' Market Rally?</h3>
Veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni described this post-election surge as &#8220;consistent with a Roaring 2020s scenario.&#8221; Yardeni believes that Trump&#8217;s policies could increase the odds of robust economic growth, strong corporate earnings, and an extended bull market.
&#8220;Stocks soared today on the widespread perception that Trump 2.0 will include a cut in the corporate tax rate and reductions in business regulations,&#8221; Yardeni wrote in a note on Thursday.
According to Yardeni, the conditions are shaping up for an economic boom similar to the 1920s — a period of rapid economic growth, technological advancement, and soaring stock prices. 
But the economic boom of the 1920s eventually led to a stock market crash in 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression.
Yardeni draws a parallel, quoting Mark Twain: &#8220;History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.&#8221;
The expert assigns a 50% probability to the "Roaring 2020s" scenario, a 20% probability to a &#8220;1990s-style stock market meltup,&#8221; and a 30% chance of a "1970s-style geopolitical crisis with a possible U.S. debt crisis." 
Yardeni also indicates that he is considering increasing the probability of the Roaring 2020s scenario, given the likelihood of a more business-friendly environment under Trump.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How High Could The S&amp;P 500 Go?</h3>
Yardeni has bold projections for the S&amp;P 500 if the "Roaring 2020s" scenario materializes.
He estimates an average annual return of around 11% for the S&amp;P 500, including reinvested dividends. 
This forecast sharply contrasts with the one presented by Goldman Sachs last month, where analysts at the investment bank predicted a decade of modest gains for stocks, with the S&amp;P 500 averaging just 3% annually over the next 10 years.
In Yardeni&#8217;s view, stocks remain the best hedge against inflation, as companies can often pass on higher costs to consumers. 
Under his &#8220;Roaring 2020s&#8221; scenario, strong productivity growth and stable inflation rates could bolster corporate profits and sustain the market&#8217;s upward trajectory.
Yardeni expects the S&amp;P 500 could climb to 8,000 by the end of the decade, driven largely by rising corporate earnings rather than inflated valuation multiples.

Trump Election Raises Odds Of 'Roaring 2020s Scenario,' Veteran Wall Street Investor Says: How High Could US Stock Market Rise?

Longer-dated U.S. Treasury bonds, tracked by the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), saw their steepest decline in over a year on Wednesday, plummeting more than 2.6%, as investors offloaded fixed-income assets amid rising expectations of wider budget deficits and higher inflation, spurred by Donald Trump&#8216;s victory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">in the presidential election. </a>
This bond sell-off comes one day before a pivotal Federal Reserve interest rate decision scheduled for 2 p.m. ET Thursday.
The Federal Reserve is broadly expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 4.5%–4.75%, a move fully priced in by market participants, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
While the rate decision itself is almost certain, investors will be more focused on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks, which may offer crucial insights into the Fed&#8217;s stance on the evolving inflation and fiscal policy.
Fed watchers are keen to highlight if a potential shift in fiscal policy under Trump could prompt the Fed to modify its approach.
Economists broadly agree that tariffs and tax cuts are likely to drive up inflation, potentially leading to a more hawkish response from the Federal Reserve. JPMorgan analysts estimate that universal tariffs, coupled with domestic tax cuts, could increase U.S. inflation by as much as 2.4%. 
Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius suggests that Trump's policies might keep core inflation above 3% by 2025, well above the Fed's 2% target. Hatzius highlighted that these factors &#8220;might delay cuts that would otherwise come more swiftly.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Expected To Cut Rates In November, But All Eyes Are On What Comes Next</h3>
"We expect a 25-basis-point cut in November, with Powell likely to maintain an optimistic tone," said Bank of America rates analyst Mark Cabana. He explained that softer-than-expected jobs data for October, combined with downward payroll revisions, were key factors solidifying the case for this November rate cut.
Bank of America also indicated that these labor data trends increase the likelihood of another rate cut in December.
Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle highlighted that recent inflation data has eased concerns about inflation reaccelerating. &#8220;Better inflation news has alleviated fears of sticky inflation from earlier in the year,&#8221; he said. He also emphasized strong Q3 GDP growth as a sign of resilience in the U.S. economy, despite a cooling labor market.
Goldman Sachs now forecasts four additional cuts in the first half of next year, bringing rates down to 3.25%–3.5%.
Mericle acknowledged "uncertainty about both the pace and final rate" of future cuts, noting that the Fed&#8217;s path forward will depend heavily on evolving economic data.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will Trump Pressure Powell on Interest Rates?</h3>
During Thursday&#8217;s Q&amp;A, Powell will likely face questions on whether the Fed plans to act preemptively or reactively in response to changing fiscal dynamics.
Investors are eager to understand if the Fed will proactively address anticipated inflation or wait for economic data to reflect any significant change.
Powell, whose term expires in 2026, could also be questioned about the Fed's independence. In his previous term, Trump frequently pressured the Fed to lower rates and has hinted that, if re-elected, he would not renew Powell's term. 
During Trump's first presidency, he issued over hundreds of tweets criticizing Fed policy, often urging for lower rates, according to data shared by the Brookings Institution. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Could Markets React To November Fed Meeting?</h3>
Market data suggest a 70% probability of another 25-basis-point cut at the Fed's Dec. 18 meeting, down slightly from 77% the previous day.
If Powell delivers dovish remarks that reinforce expectations of a December rate cut, risk assets could rally. The S&amp;P 500, represented by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), might respond positively, while small-cap stocks, tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), may extend gains following Wednesday's rally.
Conversely, if Powell signals hesitation about further rate cuts, particularly in December, and indicates a potential inclination toward addressing rising inflation expectations, investors could be disappointed, potentially putting downward pressure on the markets.

US Treasuries Take Sharpest Plunge In A Year Ahead Of Fed Meeting: Could Powell Adjust Stance In Response To Trump?

An &#8220;everything rally&#8221; powered Wall Street on Wednesday after the 2024 election results, with Donald Trump emerging as the clear presidential winner. The Republican Party reclaimed control of the Senate, while the House of Representatives leans Republican <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41778433/s-p-500-dow-hit-record-highs-after-trump-win-fear-index-drops-20">but remains undecided.</a>
The major U.S. equity indices – the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 – surged to record highs in early trading, as investor optimism grew on expectations of more favorable tax policies. 
The S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow posted gains of 2.3%, 2.4%, and 3.3%, respectively.
However, the real standouts were small caps and bank stocks, with investors turning to domestic businesses and U.S. banks in anticipation of potential tariff protections and further financial deregulation. 
The Russell 2000 jumped 5.5%, marking its largest single-day increase in two years. 
Large-cap bank stocks climbed 6%, while regional banks tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) soared 13%—both seeing their biggest one-day gains since November 2020, when the first COVID-19 vaccine was announced.
Clean energy stocks were among the day's worst performers, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) plunging 11% for its steepest drop since March 2020, as investors braced for potential rollbacks on green initiatives under the Trump administration.
In the foreign exchange market, the U.S. dollar initially rallied nearly 2% before paring gains to 1.4% as traders awaited a Federal Reserve interest rate cut on Thursday.
Treasury yields spiked as expectations rose for larger budget deficits under Republican fiscal policies and higher inflation due to potential tariffs. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 14 basis points to 4.41%, reaching a four-month high.
Gold prices fell 2.8%, silver dropped over 4%, while natural gas rose 3.8%. Oil prices remained steady.
In the cryptocurrency market, risk appetite thrived, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rising over 8% to reach a record high of $75,000. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 10%, and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) surged 14%, the strongest performance among the top 10 cryptocurrencies.

Trump's Win Sends Indices To Record Highs; Financials, Small Caps Surge, Bitcoin Tops $75,000: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Manjor indexes are higher after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States.

Wall Street rallied on Tuesday as improved investor sentiment aligned with millions of Americans casting their votes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">for the 47th president.</a>
Betting markets leaned slightly toward Donald Trump, with CFTC-regulated Kalshi placing Trump's win probability at 56% compared to Kamala Harris's 44%.

All 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 experienced gains, with consumer discretionary stocks outperforming. Small caps also joined the rally, with the Russell 2000 index gaining 1.1%.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) led the S&amp;P 500, with shares soaring after the artificial intelligence company surpassed quarterly earnings estimates and provided strong guidance.

Wall Street Rallies On Election Day, Palantir Skyrockets, Bitcoin Tops $70,000: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Investors are zeroing in on what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics">potential political outcomes</a> in the U.S. elections Tuesday could mean for the markets.
WisdomTree's Global CIO, Jeremy Schwartz and Senior Economist Jeremy Siegel have shared insights on how a Republican or Democratic win could shape sectors across both the equity and bond markets.
Here's what WisdomTree sees on the horizon.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bond Market Volatility: How Policy Could Shape Yields</h2>
Siegel said bond markets are primed for volatility, with each election outcome pointing to different scenarios for interest rates and yields. A Republican sweep, accompanied by tax cuts and heightened fiscal spending, could push bond yields upward by 20 basis points or more, he said. In this scenario, investors might brace for inflationary pressures and potentially tighter monetary policy, which would counterbalance any short-term equity gains.
On the flip side, a Democratic sweep is seen as a stabilizing force for bonds, with expectations for moderated spending and pro-growth fiscal restraint. 
WisdomTree's Kevin Flanagan, head of fixed income strategy, notes that Democratic policies might offer a predictable, low-volatility environment that helps maintain steady rates and tempers inflation concerns.
A divided government could yield the "best case" for bonds, creating stability through gridlock that limits sweeping fiscal changes and curbs deficit growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Equity Market Winners: Mag 7 In Focus Under GOP, Infrastructure &amp; Clean Energy For Democrats</h2>
For equity markets, each scenario presents distinct opportunities, particularly in the growth-oriented and infrastructure sectors. Under a Republican administration, WisdomTree expects an initial boost in stocks like the Magnificent Seven: (Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). 
The Magnificent Seven stocks could be driven by extended tax cuts, reduced regulation, and potential capital gains exemptions.
The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) provides exposure to the Magnificent Seven stocks along with other popular tech-heavy ETFs such as the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>) and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>).
This favorable backdrop for the tech-heavy sector could stimulate momentum, although Siegel cautions that rising yields might cap equity gains by pressuring valuations.
In contrast, a Democratic sweep would likely favor sectors tied to clean energy and infrastructure. With a focus on the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democratic agenda is expected to channel substantial support into solar, hydrogen and renewable energy projects. The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) provides exposure to solar stocks.

This shift would likely benefit clean energy stocks while weighing on small-cap stocks with high U.S. revenue exposure, as they would face the most significant earnings impact from higher corporate tax rates. 
Investors in clean energy ETFs such as the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NYSE">ICLN</a>) and First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart GRID Infrastructure Index (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRID#NYSE">GRID</a>) and those invested in small-cap stocks via ETFs such as the iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IJR#NYSE">IJR</a>) or the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) should be wary of their holdings.
According to Wisdom Tree, Democratic leadership could also benefit international markets, as the reduced likelihood of higher tariffs might ease trade concerns and foster demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating The Election Landscape</h2>
Beyond direct impacts on stocks and bonds, WisdomTree suggests that a blend of strategies, such as private credit, inflation hedges like gold, and international exposure with currency hedging, may help investors manage market uncertainty.
Trade policies, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's trajectory are all likely to play roles in shaping post-election strategies, underscoring the value of a diversified approach.
As the U.S. awaits the election results, WisdomTree's analysis highlights a divided outlook for investors. Whether the election ushers in policies that lift the Magnificent Seven stocks or bolsters the bond market, each scenario brings unique opportunities and risks to watch in the weeks ahead.
