Former President Donald Trump clinched nearly every delegate that was up for grabs last week, forcing his Republican challenger, Nikki Haley, out of the race, which all but guarantees his nomination. Trump\u2019s poll numbers, as aggregated by RealClearPolitics, also show him pulling further ahead of President Joe Biden, whose own favorability remains in the doldrums as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfunds.com\/resource\/investor-considerations-in-the-era-of-weaponized-migration\/\">border crisis<\/a>&nbsp;continues unabated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"389\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-trump-polls-03092024.jpg\" alt=\"Trump is polling further ahead of Biden\" class=\"wp-image-203466 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-trump-polls-03092024.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-trump-polls-03092024-700x303.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-trump-polls-03092024-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-trump-polls-03092024-768x332.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; aspect-ratio: 900\/389;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight months remain until the general election, but I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s too soon for investors to prepare for a potential second Trump term. And let\u2019s be clear: Trump, should he win, would be constitutionally limited to a single additional term, the same as Biden. Since the current administration has reversed a number of Trump-era policies\u2014especially those involving immigration\u2014Trump and lawmakers would need to work fast to implement new legislation and policies before the end of those four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are three areas for investors to watch in the event of a Trump victory this November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-nbsp-immigration-and-border-security\">1.&nbsp;<strong>Immigration And Border Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immigration is the top issue on most Americans\u2019 minds right now, according to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/611135\/immigration-surges-top-important-problem-list.aspx\">recent Gallup poll;<\/a>&nbsp;it\u2019s also arguably the topic most associated with Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Biden took office in 2021, a record number of undocumented migrants have poured into the U.S., alarming families and businesses alike and straining many communities\u2019 infrastructure and resources. So far in fiscal 2024, which began in October 2023, there have been nearly 1 million recorded migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border, exceeding the total amount in most previous years. The U.S. now has a record number of foreign-born people living within its borders at 49.5 million, or 15% of the total population, the Census Bureau reported in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"410\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-million-migrant-encounters.jpg\" alt=\"Millions of Migrant Encounters at U.S. - Mexico Border by year\" class=\"wp-image-203465 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-million-migrant-encounters.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-million-migrant-encounters-700x319.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-million-migrant-encounters-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-million-migrant-encounters-768x350.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; aspect-ratio: 900\/410;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should voters put Trump back in the White House, I expect we\u2019ll see swift action on the immigration front. We\u2019ll likely see the re-implementation of old Trump policies, including \u201cRemain in Mexico,\u201d and as recently as last month, the former president&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?si=7HL_4yIylT6ThpTY&amp;t=7&amp;v=2ks12ctSXwg&amp;feature=youtu.be\">vowed<\/a>&nbsp;to enact \u201cthe largest deportation operation in American history.\u201d A majority of Americans, or 53%, now support building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/reports\/monmouthpoll_US_022624\/\">Monmouth University poll<\/a>&nbsp;conducted in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bottom line is that people want to feel safe. Safety is a fundamental need on Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of needs, alongside food and water, and Americans are increasingly feeling unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-small-cap-stocks-ready-for-a-rebound\"><strong>2. Small-Cap Stocks Ready For A Rebound?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During President Trump\u2019s administration, U.S. small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000, performed competitively with the S&amp;P 500 as Trump shifted the government\u2019s attention to domestic policy. This\u2014coupled with the 2017 tax reform law, a historic wave of deregulation, low borrowing costs and low inflation\u2014helped smaller, \u201cAmerica first\u201d companies thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the market looks very different. Since the start of Biden\u2019s presidency, the S&amp;P 500 has advanced almost 40%, with the lion\u2019s share of those gains occurring in the last four months as investors, anticipating rate cuts in 2024, scrambled to get exposure to large artificial intelligence (AI) stocks such as Microsoft, Alphabet and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfunds.com\/resource\/ai-revolution-sparks-nvidias-historic-market-cap-achievement\/\">NVIDIA.<\/a>&nbsp;The Russell 2000, by comparison, has remained essentially flat over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What this means is that small-caps are now at their lowest valuation relative to large-caps since the dotcom bubble more than 20 years ago. A buying opportunity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"389\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-small-caps-03092024.jpg\" alt=\"Small-Cap Stocks Relative to the S&amp;P 500 Recalls Dotcom Bubble\" class=\"wp-image-203464 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-small-caps-03092024.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-small-caps-03092024-700x303.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-small-caps-03092024-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-small-caps-03092024-768x332.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; aspect-ratio: 900\/389;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like immigration, I believe a second Trump term would hit the ground running supporting domestic-focused, Mom and Pop-style stores and businesses. During his administration, optimism among small U.S. businesses consistently ran high, with the National Federation of Independent Business\u2019s (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index hitting an all-time high reading of 108.8 in August 2018. Since that time, the index has fallen more than 17%, registering 89.9 in January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-nbsp-recommitment-to-u-s-energy\">3.&nbsp;<strong>Recommitment To U.S. Energy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last area I want to touch on is energy, which many voters and investors also associate with Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his administration, gasoline prices remained on the lower end as producers kept the oil flowing. This came to a screeching halt four years ago with the pandemic, but since then, the U.S. has regained its status as the world\u2019s leading supplier of crude. In December 2023, the last month of available data, the U.S. produced a jaw-dropping 13.3 million barrels per day on average. This resulted in a new record amount of oil pumped in a single year, surpassing the previous record set in 2019 when the U.S. produced 4.49 billion barrels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, producers managed to do this even as the number of active oil rigs in North America has continue to trend down. According to Baker Hughes, there were 506 active rigs at the beginning of March 2024, down approximately 70% from the high in October 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"479\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-oil-production-shrinks-0309.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. Oil Production Continues to Make new Highs While the Number of Active Rigs Shrinks\" class=\"wp-image-203463 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-oil-production-shrinks-0309.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-oil-production-shrinks-0309-700x373.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-oil-production-shrinks-0309-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/COMM-oil-production-shrinks-0309-768x409.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; aspect-ratio: 900\/479;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what gives? A new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=61523\">report<\/a>&nbsp;by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) asks this very question, finding that new and improved technologies, including hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and horizontal drilling, \u201chave increased well productivity, enabling U.S. producers to extract more crude oil from new wells drilled while maintaining production from legacy wells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Producers, in other words, are able to do much more today with far less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, Trump 2.0 would have even less incentive to continue subsidizing renewable energy development. Last year, it was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ed4b352b-5c06-4f8d-9df7-1b1f9fecb269\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;that he would \u201cgut\u201d the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Biden\u2019s centerpiece climate legislation, chockfull of tax incentives, funding and loans to help the economy transition to clean energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally Posted March 11, 2024 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfunds.com\/resource\/3-key-areas-to-watch-ahead-of-the-november-2024-election\/\">3 Key Areas To Watch Ahead Of The November 2024 Election<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Past performance does not guarantee future results.
