The second Trump presidency has come as something of a surprise to investors. The scale of his victory, with Republicans winning control of Congress, removes some of the constraints in the US political system.
Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election has significant implications for investors, as outlined in the Financial Times Adviser article. His policies are expected to favor deregulation, tax cuts, and increased infrastructure spending, potentially boosting sectors like energy, finance, and construction. Investors might see a shift towards domestic-focused companies, with potential trade tensions affecting multinational corporations. The article suggests that while Trump's policies could lead to short-term market gains due to anticipated tax reforms and deregulation, long-term effects might include higher inflation, increased national debt, and potential volatility due to policy uncertainty. Additionally, sectors like healthcare and technology could face regulatory changes, and there might be a pivot towards protectionist trade policies, influencing global investment strategies.
