- President Donald Trump Claims, "Tariffs Are Making Us Much Richer," but Economists Show They Have Unintended Consequences
President Trump has said tariffs are making the U.S. much richer and bringing in “trillions of dollars,” but the article cites research showing a more complicated picture. The Tax Foundation projects the tariffs will raise $1.426 trillion in revenue over 2026–2035, while also reducing full-time-equivalent employment by 338,000 jobs and cutting GDP by 0.4%. Three New York Fed economists estimate that the 2025 tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation by February 2026, and that without them goods prices would have fallen slightly. They estimate a 10% across-the-board tariff raises consumer goods prices by 2.6% after one year, mostly through pricier imports and partly through higher input costs for U.S. producers.
- Trumpflation and a Surprise Catalyst Are the 2 Biggest Threats to the Trump Bull Market
The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have gained 19%, 30% and 39% respectively since Trump's second term began, through October 13. The article argues the bull market faces two threats, the first being 'Trumpflation', as annualized inflation hit a three-year high of 4.2% in May, more than double the Fed's 2% target. A New York Fed analysis estimates tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation by February 2026. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz after operations began on Feb. 28 has pushed fuel prices sharply higher and is spreading into core inflation, raising the chance the Fed under Chair Kevin Warsh must hike rates aggressively. The article also says the AI infrastructure build-out, the market's top driver, has its own downsides.
- Stock Market Today, Nov. 4: Dow Surges 3% in Biggest Post-Midterm Rally in 44 Years
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3.03% to 53,356, its best post-midterm performance in 44 years, while the S&P 500 gained 1.59% to 7,689 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.44% to 25,737 as election uncertainty faded. Gold climbed 3.38% to $4,073.70, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell about 6 basis points to 4.89%. McDonald's rose 6.53% after upbeat quarterly earnings, while Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) plunged nearly 17% following the midterm results. The article notes that stocks have often performed well after midterm elections, and a divided Congress could limit major changes to fiscal and regulatory policy. Still, persistent inflation, concerns over AI infrastructure spending, and uncertainty about Federal Reserve policy remain important risks.

- Cramer: What must happen for Home Depot to keep its 25% monthlong rally going
Home Depot shares rose 6.5% on Wednesday, turning the stock positive year to date, as housing stocks rallied on hopes that the Democratic sweep could ease affordability pressures. The stock has gained more than 25% since the 10-year Treasury yield hit a two-decade high above 5.3% on Oct. 5, and is on pace for five straight positive weeks. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 7.5% in the week of Oct. 14, a level that has kept a lid on housing activity. The author says the rally needs lower rates or a stronger do-it-yourself market to continue, and Jim Cramer believes the election could bring tariff relief.
- Stock Market Today, Nov. 4: Amazon Jumps 6% From New Perspective on AWS Growth and AI Strategy Following Election Results
Amazon (AMZN) rose 6.12% to close at $266.03 after investors reassessed last week's earnings report following the midterm elections. Trading volume reached 92.8 million shares, about 142% above the three-month average of 38.3 million shares. Goldman Sachs said the election results are unlikely to change the federal outlook for data centers, but Democratic wins at the state and local levels could lead to short-term data center moratoria affecting about 45% of planned U.S. data center capacity expansion. The article argues that these restrictions could push more business toward large hyperscalers like Amazon, and AWS sales grew 39% to $46 billion in the third quarter.
