2024-11-18 100

The U.S. stock market has surged since the presidential election, with the S&P 500 topping 6000 for the first time, fueled by investor optimism over Donald Trump’s policies. U.S. equity funds saw $56 billion in weekly inflows, the second-largest on record, as investors anticipate tax cuts, deregulation, and increased domestic spending. Cryptocurrency trading also spiked, with bitcoin exceeding $90,000 and Dogecoin surging after Trump announced a government-efficiency department co-led by Elon Musk. However, analysts warn of potential market volatility as inflation concerns grow.
