Global stocks, cryptocurrency, and gun manufacturing stocks have begun to climb, following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday.
Bloomberg reported Monday the “Trump trade” momentum is picking up speed, as investors are betting on Trump to pull out a win this coming November.
“Trump’s fiscal and trade policies will spur growth and add to inflationary pressures. The yield on 30-year bonds rose to 4.45%, surpassing two-year equivalents for the first time since January, steepening the curve,” Bloomberg reported.
Bloomberg noted that growing political violence could cause concerns around the stability of the U.S., pushing investors to move their stocks into “haven assets” such as gold or real estate.
“While there’s a risk that Trump’s policies could keep upward pressure on interest rates, traders generally don’t expect the prospect of his re-election to derail the stock-market trajectory in the long run, though a pick-up in near-term price swings is likely,” Bloomberg reported.
In addition, the Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., parent company of Trump’s Truth Social media platform, has gained over 30%.
Meanwhile, Newsweek and MarketWatch have reported cryptocurrencies and gun manufacturing stocks have soared since Saturday. Gun manufacturers Smith & Wesson Brands, and Sturm Ruger & Company, increased between 7.5% and 18%.

President Trump: “I will give you low taxes, low inflation, low interest rates, rising wages, growing incomes, and fair trade for the American worker. And we will make energy affordable again by saying drill baby drill.”
MAGA!
