After the U.S. Election, Where is the Stock Market Strength?
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016 Nov 10, 2016 - 08:50 AM GMTThe surprise U.S. presidential victory of Donald Trump caused shock waves through the futures markets last night. However, as the next trading day opens, there are clearly sectors that are winning and those that are losing.
The biotech, drug, banks and broker/dealer sectors are the strongest performers out of the gate with a 7.50%, 4.70%, 4.60% and 5.40% leap respectively.
After an explosive morning, volatility indexes for the S&P 500 and Dow (VIX & VXD), have continued to ease. The latest readings have moved both back to a low risk level.
Commodities too received a boost with the oil services and natural gas sectors advancing 3.00% and 2.80%.
On the losing side, utilities and staples felt the most selling pressure with a 3.4% and 1.50% decline.
Global markets were largely negative on the news of a Trump victory.
Mexico, Brazil, Malaysia, China and South Korea were the hardest hit whereas Russia had the best performance.
The next few months will certainly be interesting.
