January 2017: How Much More Bull Is Left In The Trump Bump?

 

By Larry C. Paxton

While a good month overall, January was a particularly good month for the NASDAQ as key technology players made some big advances. Perhaps the upswing for the US stock exchanges is the anticipation of the Trump administration dropping barriers to business by eliminating some particular distasteful regulations like Dodd-Frank. Perhaps it’s the promise of lowering corporate taxes to be more competitive with the rest of the world and hopefully bring back trillions of dollars to the US parked in foreign markets.   Or maybe it’s the trade agreements currently in place, or in the process of being approved, which are now potentially on the chopping block.

At the same time the economy keeps plugging along at a modest rate for most of the country.

So, for stocks and commodities, the question remains about the potential continued gain in the markets, and the concern that this level of growth can’t be sustained for much longer. There is the sentiment that many key stocks are close, if not already, to being overvalued, and there will have to be a major adjustment.  On the otherhand, if President Trump can get his way, the bulls might still have room to run, and we are in an interesting ride as the year continues to unfold in unpredictable ways.
