Ideas
Donald Trump President of the United States 3:31
US economy boom supports US equities.
Trump says the US economy is booming with 1.2% inflation over the last three months and 5.4% growth, potentially doubling or tripling, with record $18 trillion in new investment commitments, strong jobs, and a 77% cut in the trade deficit. He tells investors in the US they will be extremely happy and see unprecedented numbers, implying a bullish backdrop for US equities.
SPY HIGH

NATO defense spending boosts defense sector.
Trump says he secured commitments from virtually all NATO allies to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, with only Spain holding out, and the US military budget is over $1 trillion this year and will rise to $1.5 trillion next year. Higher defense budgets support defense contractors and the broader defense sector.
ITA MED

Venezuela oil opening supports oil companies.
Trump says the US is opening Venezuela to US oil companies after Maduro's capture, with good relations with new leaders. He says 50 million barrels have already been taken out, all oil companies want to go in immediately, and Venezuela has huge oil reserves but little production, so production and income should rise sharply. This creates a bullish opportunity for oil companies with Venezuela exposure and for Venezuela's oil sector.
