As an investor, you may well be wondering what the new year will be like.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In terms of politics, the US presidential elections are approaching. Although the new \u2013 or old \u2013 president will not be inaugurated until 2025, elections also influence share prices in their run up. This election cycle is in fact known as the four-year cycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contrary to the expectations of many investors, statistically speaking it hardly matters for the stock markets whether a Republican or Democrat is elected. What matters is which year of the four-year election cycle we are in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So take a look at what the typical election year looks like on the US stock market!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-4-year-cycle-influences-the-markets\">The 4-year cycle influences the markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The phenomenon known as the 4-year election cycle differentiates according to the year of the presidency. In the 121 years between 1900 and 2020, the Dow Jones rose by an average of 5.89% if it was a presidential election year. In pre-election years, it performed even better at 9.03%. In post-election years, on the other hand, it rose by just 4.54%, and in the following mid-term election years by just 1.36%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-4-year-election-cycle-in-detail\">The 4-year election cycle in detail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But what does the development look like in detail? Take a look at the average four-year performance of the Dow Jones in the chart. This allows you to take a closer look at developments within the cycle. The scale on the right shows gains as a percentage. The scale at the bottom indicates the specific year of the four-year cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above \u201cElection\u201d the average course of all election years is shown; above \u201cPost-Election\u201d that of all post-election years; above \u201cMidterm\u201d that of all mid-term election years; and above \u201cPre-Election\u201d that of all pre-election years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chart thus communicates the average trend over all four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dow-jones-4-year-cycle-calculated-over-121-years\">Dow Jones, 4-year cycle, calculated over 121 years<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fig1.png\" alt=\"Dow Jones, 4-year cycle, calculated over 121 years\" class=\"wp-image-200125 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The election year gets off to a weak start.&nbsp;<\/strong>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seasonax.com\/\">Seasonax<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now pay attention to the left quarter of the chart.
