<p>A mix of easing global geopolitical tensions, post-election bullish momentum and favorable seasonal trends propelled major U.S. stock indices to new record heights during Monday morning trading, marking what could be another <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=2ahUKEwjAlZHc__eJAxU2BfsDHQLbGvkQFnoECCsQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1FmExYgZnKyK1W0mkY7TrX">historic session on Wall Street.</a></p>
<p>The<strong> S&amp;P 500</strong> and <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average</strong> surged to all-time records, hitting intraday highs of 6,020 and 44,815 points, respectively, before paring back some gains.</p>
<p>Yet, the small-cap <strong>Russell 2000 </strong>index stole the spotlight, up 1.4% and reaching an all-time high for the first time since November 2021.</p>
<p>Investors cheered President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s nomination of hedge fund manager<strong> Scott Bessent</strong> for Treasury secretary, betting his Wall Street experience could steer fiscal policies<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42158330/trumps-treasury-secretary-pick-scott-bessent-says-a-global-economic-reordering-is-on-the-way-argues-president-elects-policies-will-lead-to-an-economic-lollapalooza&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjl2srK__eJAxV3KvsDHal-N2sQFnoECCAQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw2RHZDfMG584ba6QTHSP-jq"> toward a pro-market direction</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the barometer of geopolitical fears eased as Israel and Lebanon agreed to a framework for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42166676/israel-reaches-groundbreaking-ceasefire-deal-with-lebanon-gold-oil-tumble-sp-500-dow-jointly-hit-record-highs">ending the Israel-Hezbollah conflict</a>. While the deal still requires approval from Israel&#8217;s Security Cabinet, traders embraced the news, which sent ripples through commodity markets.</p>
<p>West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude tumbled 2.7%, falling below $70 per barrel, erasing Friday&#8217;s gains. Gold plummeted over 3%, marking one of its worst sessions in 2024, as safe-haven demand receded.</p>
<p>Bucking the trend, natural gas prices soared 8%, driven by reports that Trump's team is preparing to end Biden's freeze on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.</p>
<p>U.S. Treasury yields plunged as optimism around Bessent's nomination suggested a potential curb on unchecked deficit spending. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell more than 10 basis points to 4.29%, dragging the U.S. dollar down 0.6%.</p>
<p>While traditional equities rallied, the risk-on sentiment did not extend to cryptocurrencies. <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dropped 3% to around $95,000, further distancing itself from the highly anticipated $100,000 milestone.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 21, 2024

<p>Investor sentiment remained subdued on Wednesday as escalating geopolitical tensions weighed on risk assets ahead of the week&#8217;s most anticipated event: <strong>Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) third-quarter earnings report, set to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42093025/will-nvidia-deliver-a-blowout-beat-in-q3-poll-says-maybe-not-but-over-half-see-stock-clearing-150">released after market close.</a></p>
<p>The market mood deteriorated further after multiple outlets confirmed Ukraine&#8217;s deployment of U.K.-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory, a day after launching U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles.</p>
<p>The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely regarded as a barometer of market anxiety, spiked over 9%, underscoring rising apprehension among investors. </p>
<p>Major U.S. indices were in the red, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 leading losses as technology stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off.</p>
<p>The U.S. dollar resumed its upward trajectory, with the <strong>Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ET</strong>F (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), a proxy for the greenback&#8217;s strength, climbing 0.7%. Safe-haven demand also bolstered gold, which advanced 0.7%, reflecting investors&#8217; flight to safety.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, natural gas emerged as the standout performer among commodities, surging over 6% on the day.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) defied the risk-off sentiment, climbing over 2% to hit a fresh intraday all-time high of $94,989. This propelled its year-to-date gains to an astonishing 123%. </p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 20, 2024

<p>Wall Street managed to recover from a red start caused by heightened geopolitical tensions stemming from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russia">ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.</a></p>
<p>Ukraine launched its first U.S.-made missile strike on a Russian city, while Russian President <strong>Vladimir Putin</strong> adjusted the nation's nuclear doctrine to broaden scenarios for a potential response. Yet, Russian Foreign Minister <strong>Sergei Lavrov</strong> sought to assuage fears of a nuclear escalation, stating that a nuclear war is not something Russia is considering.</p>
<p>Amid the geopolitical noise, investors remained focused on corporate earnings. <strong>Walmart Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), often regarded as a bellwether of consumer health, surpassed expectations for the recent quarter. The retailer&#8217;s stock surged 4%, hitting fresh all-time highs and boosting market sentiment.</p>
<p>At midday, both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 posted marginal gains, while blue-chip stocks showed a slight deceleration and small caps held steady.</p>
<p>In fixed income, longer-dated bond yields dipped, with the <strong>iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) climbing 0.5%. The U.S. dollar gained 0.1%, attempting to rebound after two consecutive sessions of losses.</p>
<p>Geopolitical risks lifted demand for commodities, with gold and oil rebounding 0.8% and 0.5%, respectively. Natural gas prices – as closely tracked by the <strong>United States Natural Gas Fund LP</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – extended the rally, adding 2.6% after a 5.3% jump on Monday and hitting the highest levels since June. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continued to display extraordinary strength, with the cryptocurrency breaking to a new all-time high of $93,931, underscoring robust market interest despite broader macro uncertainties.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 14, 2024

<p>Republicans are set to maintain control of the House of Representatives with a narrow margin, marking a new era as President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong> heads back <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">to the White House. </a></p>
<p>With control of Congress locked up Wednesday, Trump and his allies are poised to enact changes across various sectors, from tax reforms to potential deregulations, as the party mobilizes to advance its agenda across Washington, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/republicans-win-house-majority-trump-party-senate-control-rcna179231">reports</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> Following a decisive win over Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>, Trump&#8217;s victory helped secure key congressional seats that kept Republicans in command of the House and the Senate. This sweeping Republican control creates a dynamic environment where Trump can enact his policy objectives with minimal opposition, positioning the party to reshape American policy on multiple fronts.</p>
<p>House Speaker <strong>Mike Johnson</strong> (R-La.) celebrated the victory on Capitol Hill, emphasizing the unity and optimism he expects to define the next two years of governance. Key GOP gains in swing districts across Pennsylvania and Michigan helped solidify Republican dominance, despite Democrat efforts to regain control, according to NBC News.</p>
<p>With this control, Trump's team may pursue reforms involving tax cuts, health care changes, and immigration policy adjustments aimed at fulfilling the promises for which he campaigned. Republicans will also be in a position to use "reconciliation," a procedural tool allowing legislation to pass more easily without relying on Democratic support.</p>
<p><strong>Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/41950681/trump-once-said-political-career-over-about-john-thune-now-senate-majority-leader-working-with-him-to-pass-gop-agenda"> Trump Once Said John Thune&#8217;s &#8216;Political Career Over&#8217;: Now He&#8217;ll Work With Senate Majority Leader On GOP Agenda</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Why It Matters:</strong> The GOP's full leadership signals potential market shifts as Republicans focus on deregulation and reshaping economic policy. </p>
<p>Analysts expect changes in sustainable investment strategies under Trump's leadership. JPMorgan's Virgina Martin Heriz highlighted that while some Inflation Reduction Act incentives for clean energy might stay, others, like electric vehicle tax credits, could face cuts. &#8220;Fund performance matters far more than politics,&#8221; she said, underlining that financial gains may drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41926301/sustainable-investment-under-trump-performance-matters-far-more-than-politics-jpmorgan-analyst-says">decisions in renewable energy.</a></p>
<p>In light of these changes, certain sectors may see pronounced impacts:</p>
<p><strong>Energy Sector Growth:</strong> With a pro-energy agenda, traditional oil and gas firms could thrive under reduced regulations. </p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Financial Sector Deregulation:</strong> Reduced oversight in the financial sector could benefit banks and investment firms. </p>

<li><strong>ETF to Watch</strong>: <strong>Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), which includes firms such as <strong>JPMorgan Chase</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and <strong>Bank of America</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>).</li>

Republicans Set To Hold Slim House Majority: What It Means For Energy, Financial, Defense Sectors

<p><strong>Exxon Mobil Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares have remained flat over the past week since <strong>Donald Trump's</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">presidential election win</a>, reflecting investor caution about how his energy policies may impact the oil and gas giant. </p>
<p>Although Trump's pro-fossil fuel stance and potential regulatory rollbacks favor Exxon's business model, broader uncertainties around global oil demand and geopolitical risks are tempering market enthusiasm.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> One of the most immediate potential benefits for Exxon under a Trump administration would be the loosening of environmental regulations. Trump's previous term saw a significant easing of restrictions on drilling, fracking, and pipeline construction, and a similar approach is expected this term. </p>
<p>This could allow Exxon to expand domestic operations more freely, particularly in high-yield shale areas like the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/24/11/41914956/exxon-mobil-sells-1-billion-in-permian-basin-assets-to-focus-on-shale-report">Permian Basin</a>, boosting production capacity without facing significant regulatory hurdles. </p>
<p>However, it's unclear whether demand will fully recover, particularly with shifting global priorities toward renewable energy.</p>
<p>Another aspect of Trump's policy agenda is his intention to exit the <strong>Paris Climate Agreement</strong> and potentially unwind portions of the <strong>Inflation Reduction Act</strong> that subsidize renewable energy.</p>
<p><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41942346/markets-breath-sigh-of-relief-after-in-line-inflation-data-stocks-rebound-as-small-caps-bonds-soar">Markets Breathe Sigh Of Relief After In-Line Inflation Data: Stocks Rebound As Small Caps, Bonds Soar</a></strong></p>
<p>This could slow the transition to green energy in the U.S., potentially extending the timeline for oil and gas demand, which is positive for Exxon's long-term outlook in fossil fuels. </p>
<p>However, these moves also risk diplomatic tensions and could spur foreign governments to double down on renewable commitments, potentially limiting Exxon's international expansion opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>What Else:</strong> Exxon's reliance on global markets also faces uncertainties tied to Trump's approach to trade and international sanctions. Trump has signaled possible sanctions relief on Russia, which could open new partnership opportunities for Exxon in Russian oil projects, a region with untapped potential. </p>
<p>However, increased tariffs and trade tensions with other countries could disrupt the global oil market, adding complexity to Exxon's growth strategy.</p>
<p>Overall, while Trump's policies may create a more favorable operating environment for Exxon domestically, global demand uncertainties and international risks keep investors cautious.</p>

<p>Investors can gain exposure to XOM by investing in the <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NASDAQ">XLE</a>).</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is XOM A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
<p>An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages  &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XOM">Exxon Mobil</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.</p>
<p>These are known as capital allocation programs. Exxon Mobil does pay a dividend, which yields 3.37% per year as of the closing price on Nov. 13, 2024. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.</p>
<p>For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 11.56%, you'll need to buy a share of Cardinal Energy by the Nov. 29, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.06 on Dec. 16, 2024.</p>
<p>Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XOM">Exxon Mobil</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 13, 2024

<p>In a bid to<strong> </strong>focus on evolving shale production, <strong>Exxon Mobil Corporation</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) reportedly disclosed a $1 billion major asset sale deal.</p>
<p>According to Reuters, the oil and gas giant plans to divest its conventional oil drilling assets located in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico.</p>
<p>As per the report, the assets are estimated to produce around 26,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.</p>
<p>The company told Reuters that the asset sale to Hilcorp Energy "aligns with their strategy to concentrate investments on high-value assets within the industry-leading portfolio."</p>
<p>Notably, earlier in August, Exxon had disclosed the intention to sell older wells in the Permian's Central Basin that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40596410/exxon-mobil-eyes-permian-assets-sale-to-fuel-shale-expansion-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">produce small but steady oil volumes</a>.</p>
<p>At that time, the company said in a statement responding to questions from Bloomberg News that it is "exploring market interest for select conventional assets in West Texas and South East New Mexico."</p>
<p>This month, Exxon reported third-quarter revenues and other income&nbsp;of&nbsp;$90.016<strong>&nbsp;</strong>billion, which missed the consensus of&nbsp;$93.938 billion while adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.92,&nbsp;beating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41683914/exxon-q3-earnings-11-3-billion-cost-savings-rising-production-dividend-hike-and-more" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of&nbsp;$1.88</a>.</p>
<p>The company achieved a cumulative structural cost savings of $11.3 billion versus 2019, including an additional $1.6 billion of savings during the year and $0.6 billion during the quarter.</p>
<p>Investors can gain exposure to XOM via <strong>EA Series Trust Strive U.S. Energy ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRLL#NYSE">DRLL</a>) and <strong>SPDR Select Sector Fund – Energy Select Sector </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>).</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Is Exxon A Good Stock To Buy?</span></h2>
<p>When deciding whether to buy a stock, there are some key fundamentals investors may want to consider. One of these factors is revenue growth. Buying a stock is essentially a bet that the business will continue to grow and generate profits in the future.</p>
<p>Exxon Mobil has reported average annual revenue growth of 18.04% over the past 5 years. .</p>
<p>It's also important to pay attention to valuation when deciding whether to buy a stock. Exxon Mobil has a forward P/E ratio of 13.51. This means investors are paying $13.51 for each dollar of expected earnings in the future. The average forward P/E ratio of Exxon Mobil's peers is 7.72.</p>
<p>Other important metrics to look at include a company's profitability, balance sheet, performance relative to a benchmark index and valuation compared to peers. For in-depth analysis tools and important financial data, check out <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a>. </p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For November 11, 2024

<p>With <strong>Donald Trump</strong> clinching a second term in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, markets are turning their attention to his potential impact on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">the economy and markets. </a></p>
<p>While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, it can still provide valuable insights for investors looking for clues about what to expect from the new administration.</p>
<p>Here's a detailed look at how the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fared during Trump's first term.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>S&amp;P 500 Sector Performance During Trump's First Term (November 2016- November 2020)</strong></h1>
<p>Although Trump wasn't sworn in as president until January 2017, financial markets began reacting to his potential policies immediately after his election.</p>
<p>Trump's first term, which spanned from Nov. 8, 2016 — the day he won against <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> — to Nov. 3, 2020 – when he lost versus Joe Biden — brought varied performances across S&amp;P 500 sectors.</p>
<p>Technology and consumer discretionary sectors led the rally, while energy was the clear laggard, with the only negative return among sectors over those four years.</p>
<p>Tech stocks were buoyed by the spectacular rise of Magnificent Seven giants. An equally weighted basket of <strong>Microsoft Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), <strong>Apple Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), <strong>NVIDIA Corp.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), <strong>Alphabet Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), <strong>Amazon.com Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), <strong>Meta Platforms Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and <strong>Tesla, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) delivered a remarkable 380% return from November 2016 to November 2020. That return is nearly double the performance of the Magnificent Seven during Biden&#8217;s term.</p>

<p>Regarding the energy sector's poor performance, that wasn't solely a result of the COVID-19 pandemic-driven oil price collapse.</p>
<p>Despite Trump's pro-fossil-fuel policies, energy stocks faced persistent headwinds throughout his term, even before 2020, with the global shift toward renewables putting continuous pressure on traditional oil and gas investments. </p>
<p>Surprisingly to many, solar stocks — tracked by the <strong>Invesco Solar ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) — were among the top-performing industries during Trump's first presidency, soaring by an impressive 267% between November 2016 and November 2020.</p>
<p>Below is a table and chart showing the performance of S&amp;P 500 sectors under Trump&#8217;s first term. </p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Financials Were Early Winners In Trump's First Term</strong></h1>
<p>In the first three months following Trump's 2016 election, financials stocks saw significant gains. </p>
<p>The <strong>Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (XLF) rose by 17.2% between Nov. 8, 2016, and Jan. 10, 2017, outpacing all other sectors. The rally was driven by anticipation of deregulation and tax cuts, which boosted investor confidence in banks and other financial stocks.</p>
<p>Conversely, <strong>consumer staples</strong> and <strong>utilities</strong> — traditionally defensive sectors — were the weakest performers in that initial period, with losses of 2.39% and 2.3%, respectively.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Could Be Similar — And What Might Change — in Trump's Second Term?</strong></h1>
<p>Trump's return to the White House could bring back some familiar market dynamics, but the economic and geopolitical landscape in 2024 is notably different from 2016. </p>
<p>Investors should be prepared for a mix of potential tailwinds and headwinds that may shape sector performance in unique ways.</p>
<p>Trump's expected emphasis on tax cuts, deregulation and support for traditional energy sources could once again boost sectors like financials, industrials and consumer discretionary. Financial stocks, in particular, might benefit from any renewed push to ease regulatory restrictions, while industrials could get a lift from a possible infrastructure spending package.</p>
<p>As in his first term, Trump's focus on "America First" policies could support domestic manufacturing and sectors tied to infrastructure, including industrials and materials.</p>
<p>Trump's pro-fossil-fuel stance could give the energy sector some breathing room. Traditional energy companies may benefit if there's a shift in focus back toward oil and gas, though this will depend on global energy market dynamics.</p>
<p>Global trade dynamics have shifted significantly since Trump's first term, with ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China.</p>
<p>If Trump reintroduces tariffs on Chinese imports, it could impact tech and industrials sectors, which rely on international supply chains and components.</p>
<p>Last but not least, even if Trump policies seem to prioritize fossil fuels, the private sector&#8217;s commitment to renewables could still drive growth in solar and clean energy stocks.</p>

How Did S&P 500 Stock Sectors Perform During Trump's First Term? Could This Time Be Different?

<p>The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to record levels on Wednesday after <strong>Donald Trump </strong>was elected as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a></p>
<p>In Congress, Republicans clinched a majority in the Senate, while the House race remains close. As of Wednesday morning&#8217;s tabulations, Republicans held 198 seats versus 180 for Democrats.</p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 index, as tracked by the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), climbed 2% to 5,900 points, while the Dow soared over 3% to 43,500 points. The blue-chip index, monitored through the <strong>SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), marked its biggest single-day gain since November 2022.</p>
<p>The financials and industrials sectors were the top performers, up 5.2% and 3%, respectively.</p>
<p>The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 witnessed smaller gains, up 1.8%, while small-cap stocks skyrocketed, with the Russell 2000 index spiking over 5%.  </p>
<p>The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often called the &#8220;fear gauge,&#8221; plummeted 22%, indicating waning investor concerns amid post-election optimism.</p>
<p>Investors are responding positively to the prospect of more lenient tax policies under the upcoming Trump administration, though inflation risks and potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy highlighted by economists seem to be largely overlooked by the market for now.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Implications Of A Trump Presidency, Goldman Sachs Weighs In</h3>
<p>&#8220;If Republicans secure a narrow House majority, this would likely enable a full extension of the 2017 tax cuts, set to expire in 2025, potentially with some reinstated business investment incentives,&#8221; wrote <strong>Jan Hatzius</strong>, Goldman Sachs&#8217; chief economist.</p>
<p>A Republican-controlled Congress may also drive increased federal spending, particularly on defense, Goldman Sachs indicated.</p>
<p>"We would expect Trump to impose additional tariffs averaging 20% on imports from China," Hatzius added, highlighting that this policy could provide a &#8220;one-time boost to core PCE inflation&#8221; and &#8220;a modest drag on GDP.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs projects that the incoming Trump administration would likely pursue a more relaxed approach to regulation, especially in energy, financial services, and labor. </p>
<p>However, while antitrust oversight may soften somewhat, scrutiny of the tech sector is expected to persist.</p>
