Impact of Political Events on Market Trends

Recent political events in the U.S. have significantly influenced market trends, particularly in the context of trend following investment strategies. The election of a new president has led to changes in bond yields globally, with investors observing a rise in yields and subsequent selling off of bonds. Notably, the correlation between single stocks in the U.S. has reached historical lows, indicating a period where major stocks are behaving more independently of one another. This divergence in performance could be seen as a warning sign that the current bullish market trend may not be sustainable in the long term.
