How US Presidential Election results have impacted the stock market in Past?

As everyone is watching the U.S Election , investors are feeling a high degree of uncertainty of lower stock returns. The election outcome will define the next four years. Investors are feeling nervous about the stock market. The past five presidential elections didn’t evoke extreme market reactions, with Barack Obama’s first triumph in 2008 a notable exception. Back then, the S&P 500 dropped 10 percent the first two days after the election, although it needs to be noted that said election took place in the middle of the financial crisis, which left markets particularly volatile.

Trump’s victory four years ago didn’t prompt an extreme market reaction, despite the surprising nature of his win over Hillary Clinton. Back then, the S&P 500 climbed 1.1 percent on post-election day and continued its general upward trend the days that followed.

The S&P 500 fell more than 5% in premarket trading, triggering a circuit breaker to halt trading. By the time the market closed the day after the election, the index was up over 1%.
