Insights From Analysts:
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42382786/morgan-stanley-narrows-down-winning-and-losing-bets-in-the-first-100-days-of-trump-administration">Morgan Stanley</a>, the Republican party's win in the 2024 elections could pave the way for significant policy changes. The note also says that concerns over trade tariffs, immigration policies, fiscal sustainability, and the scope and timing of new policies may constrain the broader economic outlook.
As per Morgan Stanley, Trump's deregulation could benefit traditional energy, but the outlook for oil is uncertain due to potential oversupply and weak global demand, especially from China. In contrast, natural gas may see growth from strong European demand and increased domestic use for electrification and AI-powered data centers.
U.S. defense spending is expected to stay robust amid rising geopolitical tensions, says Morgan Stanley.
According to Morgan Stanley, the technology sector may see mixed outcomes. Cryptocurrencies and AI industries could benefit from Trump's favorable stance. However, social media and information companies may continue facing regulatory and antitrust challenges.
Charlie Bilello, the chief market strategist at Creative Planning in an X post highlighted that the world was witnessing a &#8220;widest valuation gap in history&#8221; as U..S Stocks were trading over 22x forward earnings versus 14x for international stocks.

He backed his projection by saying &#8220;Our view is predicated on continued U.S. economic expansion, earnings growth of 11% in 2025 and 7% in 2026, and a forward P/E multiple of 21.5x at the end of next year, a 1% compression from the current P/E of 21.7x.
