CNN’s data chief admits US stocks are up ‘like a rocket’ under Trump — suggests Democrats don’t want to talk about it

CNN data chief Harry Enten highlighted the U.S. stock market’s strong rally under President Trump, noting the S&P 500 is up about 19% so far in the term — well above historical averages. The piece frames the market strength as politically salient and reflects investor optimism (majority of stockholders view continuing to invest as a good idea), while cautioning that underlying economic sentiment has weakened. The article also notes a surge in safe-haven demand for gold (up >40% year-over-year) and reminds investors about diversification and advisor value. Overall, the coverage emphasizes bullish equity performance but warns of risks beneath rapid gains.
