Wall Street turns to 2016, while stock market has to live in ‘24

When Trump ran for president in early 2016, US equities were on shaky footing, posting their worst start to a year since the financial crisis with a drop of more than 5% in January. By the time of his inauguration, the S&P 500 was coming off a 9.5% gain in 2016 after ending 2015 in the red. The index was trading at 17 times projected earnings. The yield on 10-year Treasuries was around 2.5%, and the fed funds rate sat at 0.75%.
