Biden Stock Market

About Biden Stock Market

During the Biden presidency starting January 2021, the S&P 500 initially continued rising, reaching new highs. The market then struggled with inflation and rising interest rates in 2022 before recovering in 2023 and 2024. The AI boom drove substantial gains, particularly for mega cap technology stocks. Infrastructure spending, CHIPS Act, and Inflation Reduction Act boosted industrial and clean energy stocks. Despite recession fears that never materialized, the US economy outperformed most developed peers. The labor market remained strong. Stock market concentration reached record levels, with the top 10 stocks accounting for over 35 percent of the S&P 500.
