  • Stock Market Outlook for Trump's Second Year of Second Term: Fed, Venezuela, and Energy Impact
    January 25, 2026, 6:57 PM EST. President Trump's second year of his second term may bring notable stock market shifts. The ongoing Federal Reserve investigation into Chairman Jerome Powell has created uncertainty, as Trump criticizes the Fed's pace on interest rate cuts. Markets initially dropped but later stabilized as outcomes remain unclear. Concurrently, Trump's recent military action in Venezuela aims at controlling its vast oil reserves, encouraging U.S. energy giants to invest heavily in infrastructure rebuilding.
