View MoreArgus Quick Note: Weekly Stock List for 11/04/2024: U.S. Election Part 2, the Impact on Energy and Healthcare
The U.S. presidential election is tomorrow. Last week, in Part 1 of this series, we made a case that the state of the economy is a bigger driver for Wall Street than who wins and takes over the White House. This week, we add some color to the presidential cycle over a typical four-year term and examine how that cycle affects the market. Historical data suggests that Year 1 is a honeymoon year, with a feeling of optimism that usually is good for stocks. In Year 1, the S&P 500 has been up 14% on average for more than 50 years, going back to 1980. Year 2 is still an up year for stocks, but only by about 5% as some of the challenges of the office surface and midterm elections cause distraction and uncertainty. Year 3 has proven to be the strongest, with stocks up about 15%. As sitting presidents put their candidate hat back on, there is increased spending and often tax breaks. Year 4 dips again, with stocks rising a smaller 4% due to uncertainty about the pending election. This week, in Part 2 of our review of the election and sectors, we look at Energy and Healthcare to see how they might perform under either candidate. While our analysis does look at specific policies, it essentially boils down to the broad approach of the candidates.
