  • Trump Bull Market Near Tipping Point as Valuations Hit Historic Highs
    June 20, 2026, 4:55 AM EDT. Wall Street has seen significant gains under Donald Trump's presidency, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite rising 57%, 70%, and 142% respectively during his first term. These gains continued into his second term, driven by AI innovation, record share buybacks, and strong corporate earnings. However, more than 150 years of data indicate the Trump bull market could be nearing a tipping point. The S&P 500's Shiller Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio, which averages inflation-adjusted earnings over 10 years for valuation, recently hit 42.84-the second-highest ever and near the dot-com bubble peak.
