In January, economists ranked the U.S. as the advanced economy with the strongest growth prospects, kicking off President Trump’s second presidency on a high note.
Now, 100 days in, that optimism has cooled. A wave of "America First" executive actions has unsettled markets, pushing U.S. stocks to underperform many of their global peers.
The swift policy shifts have fueled volatility and shaken investor confidence. The U.S. market’s early lead has been eclipsed by steadier performances in Europe and Asia, as traders weigh the long-term impact of the administration’s bold moves.
For business enthusiasts and startups, the current landscape underscores the speed at which policy decisions can ripple through global supply chains and capital flows. While the U.S. still boasts deep liquidity and innovation hubs, investors are now eyeing diversification across markets.
As the clock ticks on the next 100 days, all eyes are on whether the administration can translate its ambitious promises into sustainable growth—and win back its place at the front of the global markets.
