Stock-market “Trump Trade” falls apart as related index drops about 16% since May
AI Market Summary
The unraveling of the "Trump Trade" reflects macro headwinds from escalating US-Iran conflict and tariff uncertainty. Higher energy prices and a stronger dollar are lifting inflation expectations and rates, tightening financial conditions and weighing on cyclical themes like manufacturing and housing. Reports of Hormuz disruption amplify crude supply risk, reinforcing the inflation impulse that undermines risk appetite and increases dispersion across sector and thematic exposures.

A stock-market strategy known as the “Trump Trade” has soured, with Ned Davis Research’s Trump Trade Index down about 16% since May. The firm attributed the slide largely to the U.S. conflict with Iran, which it said has lifted energy prices, inflation expectations, interest rates and the U.S. dollar, weighing on manufacturing and housing. The latest uncertainty also includes new tariff moves, including 50% duties on a range of Canadian products and planned targeted actions under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
