Trump is enjoying the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s best performance in
the initial 30 days of a presidential term since Franklin D. Roosevelt in
1945
Much has been made of the stock market’s record-setting performance since
President Donald Trump won the race for the White House back in November.

But Dow Jones’s data team offers more insight into how Trump stacks up
compared with other presidents in their first 30 days in office, a milepost
Trump hits on Feb. 19. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.02% has
returned 4.02% as of Friday’s close, which would make the Dow’s
performance in the Trump era’s first month the sixth best in percentage
terms behind Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945, after his fourth victorious
campaign for the presidency, when blue chips climbed by 4.1%.

Trump’s Dow performance marks the fifth best gain in history in percentage
terms (in the first 30 days), according to Dow Jones data, and the third
best such performance for a first-term president.

As for the S&P 500 SPX, +0.17% that benchmark index has advanced 3.5% in the
month since Trump took the oath of office. That represents the best 30-day
stretch since the days following the second inauguration of Bill Clinton in
1997, when the broad-market gauge ran up 4.6% (see table below):

Lately, Trump has been grousing that critics are too focused on Mike Flynn,
his national-security adviser who stepped down amid a scandal about his
conversations with Russian officials, and Andy Puzder, the president’s pick
to head up the Labor Department who withdrew his name from consideration,
and not sufficiently cheering what some refer to as the Trump rally:
Stock market hits new high with longest winning streak in decades. Great
level of confidence and optimism - even before tax plan rollout!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
President Trump likes to tout the fact that the Dow and Nasdaq Composite
Index COMP, +0.41% have risen 12.1%, and the S&P 500 is up nearly 10% since
the Nov. 8 election.
On Friday, stocks resumed their record-setting ways, with all three equity-
market benchmarks finishing at all-time highs, capping a boffo week for U.S.
equities.
Still, there is some sense that the Trump rally, inspired by campaign
promises of increased spending on infrastructure, reduced taxes and loosened
regulations may be more apt to run out of steam than go higher—at least
until he delivers hard-and-fast details of business-related policies. |
