President Trump has posted a new announcement on Truth Social, the social media platform. He wrote:
“Prices are down, income is up, our Border is closed, gasoline is CHEAP, inflation is DEAD — Our Country is BOOMING! Companies are pouring into America like never before!”
How Will Trump’s Statement Affect the Stock Market?
This latest post has the potential to affect the stock market. That’s because Donald Trump’s statement, suggesting a booming economy with low inflation and cheap gasoline, could positively impact stocks like Chevron and Exxon Mobil Corp. as lower fuel prices might increase demand. Ford Motor Company may benefit from increased consumer spending power due to higher incomes. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund and Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund could see gains as energy costs decrease and consumer spending rises.
Here are some of the stocks that might be affected:
Chevron ((CVX)),
Exxon Mobil Corp. ((XOM)),
Ford Motor Company ((F)),
Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLE)),
Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLY)).
