President Donald Trump making stock market history may serve as an ominous short-term warning for investors, but the long-term upward trajectory for equities remains firmly intact.

US stock market is heading for its best start for a new American president since Ronald Reagan was sworn in to power in 1985. The benchmark S&P 500 was hovering near record high on Friday. The index is up over 2 per cent this week.

Before the election, the Republican pretended he was solely responsible for Wall Street’s upswing. Now that markets are struggling, that’s a problem.

The stock market's premium valuation may be the biggest headwind standing in the way of Donald Trump overseeing another bull market run. There's a crystal-clear correlation between time and wealth creation on Wall Street.

Donald Trump’s presidency stirred financial markets in unprecedented ways, with political controversies often triggering stock market fluctuations.
