The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged past the 50,000-point mark, marking its largest single-day gain since May last year. Former President Trump, in a post on Truth Social, claimed credit for the milestone, attributing it to his tariff policies and predicting the Dow will reach 100,000 points before the end of his term. Trump's market predictions have historically influenced stock movements, often coinciding with his policy announcements. In April 2025, after a tariff-related market drop, Trump advised buying stocks, followed by a tariff suspension that led to a 9.5% rise in the S&P 500. Similarly, his comments on the U.S.-U.K. trade agreement in May 2025 preceded a market surge and Bitcoin surpassing $100,000.
