What a week it has been.
Former President Donald Trump was declared the winner of the U.S. presidential election on Wednesday. And the market reacted dramatically…
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) jumped to an all-time high before falling slightly.
Stocks soared – hitting record levels along the way. The Dow gained more than 1,500 points to also reach a new high.
The U.S. dollar surged… and oil prices fell.
Then, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points (0.25%) on Thursday.
Election Day and the Fed’s November meeting were two big moments of potential volatility. But we made it through. And now that they’re out of the way, we can keep forging ahead.
While that doesn’t mean we should expect the volatility to end here, historical trends tell us that U.S. stocks have a good chance of finishing the year strong after the kind of performance we’ve seen so far.
No matter what’s ahead, my subscribers will be ready. And of course, I’ll keep you up to date on everything that’s going on right here in Market Insights.

P.S. This week’s SteadyTrade Podcast was a bit different…
Tim Bohen and I kept things casual and livestreamed our podcast Wednesday night in a special “Election Aftermath” episode. We looked at how the market reacted during the day and discussed what to expect moving forward.
You can watch this episode right here. (Note: Tim and I had a few technical difficulties during our livestream, so if you start watching and wonder what’s wrong with your sound… it’s not you, it’s us!)
