US stocks raced upward following the election of Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining over 8% and the S&P 500 index advancing nearly 5%
The Trump trade can be broken into four main areas :
1. Regulations
2. Taxes
3. Trade
4. Infrastructure
Current market consensus suggests that a Trump administration would be favorable for future US economic growth and beneficial for the US employment outlook
While the Trump trade can be dissected into many different themes, I highlight below a few of the key themes:
Key theme: Repealing and replacing of Obamacare
Key theme: Speeding the approval process of life-saving medications in relation to the 4,000+ drugs currently awaiting approval at the Federal Drug Administration
Key theme: Allowing energy infrastructure projects to move forward and spurring infrastructure investments
Key theme: Repairing America’s water and environmental infrastructure
Key theme: Lifting of restrictions of American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and oil
