Does Election Year Increase Volatility

[This episode was originally recorded on July 05, 2024, before Biden dropped out of the Presidential Election Race. We examined historical data, facts, and statistics of what happens to the stock market when there is a Republican vs Democrat as President of the U.S.]

During election years, the stock market tends to experience increased volatility due to the uncertainty surrounding the outcome. However, historical data shows that the stock market performance during election years does not significantly differ from other years. The median annualized return for the stock market since the 1900s is 7.7%. The performance of the stock market is more influenced by factors such as economic growth and corporate earnings rather than the political party in office. It is important to stay invested in the market and focus on long-term growth.

Key Takeaways:

• The stock market tends to experience increased volatility during election years due to uncertainty.
• Historical data shows that the stock market performance during election years does not significantly differ from other years.
• The performance of the stock market is more influenced by factors such as economic growth and corporate earnings rather than the political party in office.
