How Trump's stock market ranks in his first 50 days in office
Trump will hit the 50-day milestone on Saturday, March 11. It is worth noting that GOP President's tend to post 70% gains, according to Dow Jones data. It's also the fourth-best return on a percentage basis for a first-term president (see chart below). President Donald Trump is half way to marking his first 100 days in office, and as it turns out the so-called Trump rally is stacking up fairy well compared with past presidents during their midpoint to 100. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.33% is on track to post its best return in the first 50 days off a presidential term since Bill Clinton's first term in 1993, when the broad-market index rose 4.7%.
