Trump's first 50 days mark one of the worst starts for the S&P 500 under any presidency [View all]

The Trump 2.0 stock market is off to one of the worst starts of any presidency since 1950.

New data crunched by SunDial Capital Research strategist Jason Goepfert on Wednesday shows the market's response to President Trump since the inauguration is among the bottom of all presidents since 1950. In the first 50 trading sessions since Inauguration Day, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) has dropped about 6.4%.

The only two worse starts were Richard Nixon's first 50 days (-7.2%) and George W. Bush's (-13.6%).

The best 50-day starts are held by John F. Kennedy (+9.4%), Barack Obama (+5.7%), and Bill Clinton (+4.2%).
