Wednesday’s opening is more in-line with how the market has performed since Trump took office. The Dow spiked roughly 8,000 points since the November 2016 election and the S&P and NASDAQ have followed suit, respectively.
The market has gained between $4 and $6 trillion in capitalization in Trump’s first year, well over the gains in Obama’s first year.
