Why Our Portfolios Miss Obama. Top Story - March 2018.
The early days of the Trump administration, market euphoria was in full effect. In a matter of months after Trumps election the S&P 500 rose by about 30 percent. However, come February, volatility started to spike and the S&P 500 lost 10 percent in about two weeks. This was due to treasury yields approaching three percent which is the highest it's been in recent years along with deficit spending and unclear expectations of what is to come in the near future regarding interest rates, debt, and inflation. The Trump spending plan, that is characteristic of a struggling economy in need of stimulus, in the midst of a very healthy economy could lead to hyper inflation and an increasingly scary debt. Some of these fears were sparked by some political decisions backed by Trump and the Republican Congress. They decided to go forward with tax cuts while simultaneously increasing government spending which will do a number on our already huge deficit.
