The S&P 500 Went for a Roller-Coaster Ride During Trump’s First 100 Days in Office. What Can Investors Expect for the Next 100 Days?

The first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration have been marked by significant market volatility. The performance of the broad market during this time period is the worst for any administration in over 50 years. Despite steep losses, there has been a partial recovery, but major indexes are still down year to date.

One of the key factors contributing to this volatility is Trump’s aggressive trade policies. The president has imposed sweeping tariffs on goods from most countries in an effort to address what he sees as unfair trade practices that have disadvantaged the U.S. for decades. The announcement of these tariffs on April 2 sent stocks plummeting, with both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite entering bear market territory.

However, stocks rebounded quickly after Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries to allow for trade negotiations. As of May 2, the S&P 500 had turned in its worst performance in a president’s first 100 days since 1974, falling about 8%.

Looking ahead to the next 100 days, trade negotiations will be a key focus. The Trump administration is currently 24 days into its 90-day tariff pause, but tensions with China remain high. The U.S. has raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145%, prompting China to retaliate with tariffs of 125% on U.S. imports. While there have been reports of potential trade talks between the two countries, the outcome remains uncertain.

Reaching agreements with major trading partners, especially China, will be crucial for maintaining market stability. Many companies have warned of the potential consequences of continued high tariffs, including higher prices and layoffs. Market strategists have even predicted a possible recession if tariffs are not resolved.

In addition to trade tensions, economic data has also been mixed. First-quarter GDP shrank by 0.3%, but the April jobs report showed unexpected strength in the labor market. The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring these developments, particularly the impact of tariffs on consumer prices.

As investors navigate this uncertain landscape, maintaining a long-term outlook is advised. Short-term market fluctuations may be inevitable, but historical data shows that long-term investments tend to yield positive returns. Despite the current volatility, a patient approach is likely to pay off in the end.

For those considering investing in the S&P 500 Index, it’s important to weigh the potential risks and rewards. The Motley Fool Stock Advisor team has identified 10 stocks they believe offer strong growth potential, with historical returns far outpacing the S&P 500. By staying informed and patient, investors can weather the storm of uncertainty and potentially reap substantial rewards in the long run.
