Stocks rose faster in the one month of trading following the 2020 election than in the month of trading that followed the 2016 election.
Between the lines: There are many macro differences between the 2016 and 2020 periods, most notably the pandemic, but both elections took place amid bull markets.
By the numbers:
Dow Jones: +9.96% in 2020 vs. 7.77% in 2016
Nasdaq: +11.68% in 2020 vs. 4.83% in 2016.
S&P 500: +9.79% in 2016 vs. 5.61% in 2016.
