Trump’s Indiana Endorsement Signals Ongoing Support for U.S. Agriculture and Energy Stocks

President Trump has posted a new announcement on Truth Social, the social media platform. He wrote:

“RT @realDonaldTrump Vigo County Commissioner Brenda Wilson, a Proven America First Patriot, is running against “No Goode” Greg Goode (BAD FOR THE U.S.A.!) in the Republican Primary for Indiana’s 38th Senate District, which I won by 28 points! “No Goode” is an incompetent and ineffective RINO incumbent who, for whatever reason, voted against Redistricting in Indiana, which has made him a hero to Hakeem Jeffries, Ilhan Omar, and every other Radical Left Member of the U.S. House of Representatives. “No Goode” and his RINO friends made Indiana, a State I have tremendous love for, the only State in the Country that essentially said they don’t care about what happens to the United States Congress, and therefore to America’s future. We could have easily picked up two seats in Indiana, but No Goode, an America Last politician, threw in with the Democrats, thereby putting our Country in a very dangerous position, and risking the reversal of so much of the incredible progress we have made over the last year for our Country and our people.

Brenda Wilson, on the other hand, is a Successful Family Farmer, and Highly Respected Vigo County Commissioner, who will be a strong and effective Voice for our amazing Farmers and Indiana Agriculture. As your next State Senator, Brenda will fight tirelessly to Protect “Hoosier” Values, Champion Small Businesses, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Support our incredible Military, Veterans, and Law Enforcement, Advance Election Integrity, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.

Brenda Wilson has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and, unlike “No Goode” — BRENDA WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!”

How Will Trump’s Statement Affect the Stock Market?

This latest post has the potential to affect the stock market. That’s because Trump’s endorsement of an “America First,” pro-farmer, pro-energy, and pro-manufacturing state candidate reinforces expectations of continued or expanded support for U.S. agriculture and fossil fuels, which could be modestly constructive for industrial and energy-linked names such as CAT, DE, XOM, OIH, VDE, XLE, XLI, VIS, and IYJ. The emphasis on American manufacturing, energy dominance, and deregulation may also support broader industrial and energy sector ETFs, while potentially benefiting consumer discretionary exposure tied to rural and small‑business sentiment (VCR, XLY). However, as a localized state-level endorsement with no immediate policy change, any market impact is likely to be marginal and sentiment-driven rather than a fundamental driver of these securities.

Here are some of the stocks that might be affected:
Caterpillar ((CAT)),
Deere & Company ((DE)),
Exxon Mobil Corp. ((XOM)),
Vanguard Industrials ETF ((VIS)),
Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLI)),
Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLE)),
Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF ((VCR)),
VanEck Oil Services ETF ((OIH)),
Vanguard Energy ETF ((VDE)),
Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLY)),
iShares U.S. Industrials ETF ((IYJ)).
