Overview

Despite a volatile March, the stock market appears to be well on its way to another banner year.

The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite rallied 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively, during Trump's first term, and they've gained 17%, 26%, and 37% since the president's second, non-consecutive term began on Jan. 20, 2025 (as of the closing bell on June 3, 2026).
