Let’s skip right to what you came here for: the type of stocks to buy under Trump’s second term.
Many investors expect a Trump administration to have significant implications for the stock market and various sectors of the economy. Indeed, the markets are buzzing with certainty for the near-term, but is that accurate? And how will the long-term pan out?
In the near-term, stocks are projected to rise, potentially mirroring the 40% increase in the S&P 500 during Trump’s first term. This optimism is fueled by anticipated tax cuts, including a reduction in corporate tax rates, which could boost earnings per share (EPS) and stimulate economic growth.
While oil prices are expected to remain stable, inflation remains a wildcard under a Trump administration. The path of interest rates is uncertain, hinging on inflation trends. The market currently anticipates four rate cuts by the end of 2025, but this could change based on economic data in the early months of Trump’s administration.
The extent of stocks to buy under Trump will depend on inflation, interest rates, and valuation multiples. If inflation stays low and interest rates decrease, stock valuations could expand significantly. However, if inflation rises and interest rates remain high, stock upside may be limited.

However, do not take your eye off the ball now; you should remain vigilant about inflation and interest rate trends, as these factors will play a crucial role in shaping market dynamics during Trump’s presidency.
