Trump’s First 100 Days Worst for Stock Market Since Watergate

A new report from CFRA Research reveals that President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office were the worst for the S&P 500 index since Richard Nixon’s second term during the Watergate scandal. The S&P 500 experienced a 7.9% drop between January 20 and April 25, marking the second-worst opening period for any new president since 1973. This decline follows Trump’s early policies that aimed to advance campaign promises which investors deemed less serious than anticipated.
