The uncertainty is there, for sure. Just look at the index YTD and then consider that the AI hype is in full swing and that Trump promises huge tax cuts to business. Stocks should be soaring but looks like not everyone buys the story.

It’s hard to price in an unknown quantity though. If the war in Europe spreads, who knows what happens? If Trump chokes on some novichok of just gives out from all the hard grifting he’s done all his life, who knows?

I think a more interesting measure is looking at indicies since the change in leadership.

   Dow: 43,528 → 43,428
   Nasdaq: 19,734 → 19,524
   S&P: 6,014 → 6,013
They all went up at the beginning of the term, but have fallen back to just below where they started.
