Trump stock rally fades, tax uncertainty looms

The post-election stock market rally sparked by Donald Trump's victory has begun to lose momentum. Huntington Private Bank director of wealth strategy Dan Griffith joined Market Domination Overtime to analyze the key factors driving this shift. Griffith highlights that investors are primarily concerned about the evolving tax landscape. Griffith explains there will be "a different tax picture" in the future, noting that these changes particularly impact small and mid-market business owners. With the current tax cuts set to expire in 2026 and Republicans gaining control of both the House and Senate, Griffith expects most of these tax benefits to "go away." However, he states: "The real question is.... with the deficit still out there and the budget rules still in place, which ones are gonna be picked?"

Oppenheimer Asset Management's chief investment strategist, John Stoltzfus, has raised his year-end S&P 500 (^GSPC) target to 6,200, marking his third upward revision this year.

He outlines three main catalysts behind his decision to raise the target: Corporate America's second and third quarter revenue and earnings growth surpassing market expectations, the Federal Reserve's "remarkably successful" execution of monetary policy, and multiple economic indicators, including "business, consumer, and jobs, have all proven resilient." His only concern is valuation. However, he adds "concerns about valuation [have been] essentially ameliorated by improved earnings, as the quarters of this year were reported.'
