3 Reasons the Trump Bull Market Can Implode in the Second Half of 2026
History suggests that Wall Street's storybook rally under President Donald Trump is about to come to an abrupt end.
Overview
Despite jaw-dropping volatility at times, outsize stock market returns have been the norm with President Donald Trump in the White House. During his first non-consecutive term (Jan. 20, 2017 – Jan. 20, 2021), the time-tested Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and innovation-fueled Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) soared 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively.
But expecting these good times to last may be a mistake -- at least over the short run. Although the stock market tends to climb over long periods, a trio of headwinds appears set to make life challenging for the Trump bull market in the second half of 2026.
