The Trump Trade has changed. Here are the 6 big themes for investors to watch.
The market playbook for Donald Trump's presidency has shifted in the months since his inauguration. Analysts at NDR updated their Trump Trade index, a group of investments tied to Trump's agenda. Strategists identified six themes for investors to monitor. Investors in the early days of Donald Trump's second term thought they had identified the clearest winners from the president's agenda, but more than halfway through his first year in office, the playbook has shifted. Analysts at Ned Davis Research this week said they recently revised their Trump Trade Index — an index of investment themes they believe will benefit from Trump's agenda. The firm's original Trump Trade Index included investment themes like space and reshoring, as well as bitcoin and Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Trump's social media network. "When we created our initial Trump Trade index prior to the 2024 election, we had only a general idea of Trump's agenda and key themes impacted," strategists wrote in a report on Wednesday. "However, after reviewing 170 executive orders, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and an ever-changing foray into tariffs, we have a much better indication of agenda priorities." Markets have been surprised by how Trump's policy agenda has shifted so far this year. US stocks soared after Trump secured his second term in office, before embarking on a wild roller coaster ride as Trump announced his worldwide tariff package and negotiations dragged into this summer. Here's an update on what investment themes investors should add to the Trump-era playbook. Defense Thesis: Trump signed a slew of executive orders supporting aerospace innovation and the drone, cybersecurity, and shipbuilding industries in the US. The GOP tax and spending bill has also earmarked around $150 billion for overall defense spending, $29 billion to shipbuilding, and $170 billion for border enforcement. The bill also has a $24 billion budget to help build the Golden Dome, an ambitious defense system that aims to put American anti-missile weapons into space. Factors like China's military advancement and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine also raise the risk that the US could become more involved in geopolitical conflict, strategists suggested. "While several themes look overbought, some are sure to have staying power over Trump's term. Unfortunately, we believe Defense could have staying power," the report said. Relevant ETFs: SHLD Metals & Mining Thesis: Trump has also signed executive orders supporting the copper and rare minerals industry in the US. Meanwhile, the Big Beautiful bill includes tax incentives that support energy exploration in the US, which could also boost the metals and mining industries. The president has also proposed steep tariffs on key commodities, like steel, copper, and aluminum. The metals and mining theme was on display already in the last week, when the Department of Defense announced a large stake in rare earth miner MP Materials. The stock surged on the news that the Pentagon would become the company's largest shareholder as it tries to strengthen America's position in a critical supply chain. Relevant ETFs: XME, REMX Traditional, Nuclear, and Hydrogen Energy Thesis: Energy was a cornerstone of Trump's campaign, and the president quickly declared a National Energy Emergency at the start of his term. "While Biden's agenda promoted Clean Energy, Trump clearly favors Traditional Energy, evidenced by orders to tap Alaska resources, remove production barriers, and promote Coal," strategists wrote. Uranium and Hydrogen energy are also in focus, the strategists added, pointing to "massive datacenter electricity demands." Trump has also proposed various tariffs that could raise energy prices, like tariffs on Canadian and Venezuelan energy, a 7.5% tariff on Uranium, and a 10% tariff on hydrogen-related goods. Relevant ETFs: IEO, URA, HYDR Bitcoin & Digital Assets Thesis: Trump, who branded himself as the "crypto president" on the campaign trail, has made a series of pushes into digital assets this year. Early in his second term, he signed an executive order that aimed to support the US's dominance in digital finance, and another that established a strategic bitcoin reserve. Lawmakers are also set to pass a slew of new crypto-related legislation this week, like the Senate's landmark stablecoin bill, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. Relevant ETFs: IBIT, ARKF Artificial Intelligence Thesis: Trump's executive orders and a handful of provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are aimed at bolstering AI development in the US, The GOP tax and spending bill includes a $250 million budget for AI-driven cyber defense, as well as tax incentives for chipmakers to build their tech in the US. Trump also announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure project in January, which involves Softbank, OpenAI, and Oracle building more data centers in the US. This week, Trump announced another $90 billion in AI and energy investments at an event in Pennsylvania.

Traders' Guide to Navigating Japan's Upper House Election
(Bloomberg) -- Investors are bracing for a potential triple dip in Japanese bonds, stocks and the yen after Sunday's upper house election, as polls point to a defeat for Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Liberal Democratic Party. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Manhattan, Chicago Murder Rates Drop in 2025, Officials Say A loss of majority for the ruling bloc, which is already in the minority in the lower house, threatens to destabilize economic policy and push up government spending. That could trigger selloffs across assets, strategists and investors say. The jitters reflect growing worries over Japan's government debt burden as interest rates rise and the central bank loosens its grip on the bond market. While the ruling party plans to distribute cash handouts, the opposition has suggested cutting the sales tax. JGB yields hit historic highs this week amid concerns around how such pledges will be funded. Japan's trade outlook is also at stake as the Aug. 1 deadline for President Donald Trump's 25% levy on exports fast approaches. Investors worry a defeat for Ishiba could derail bilateral tariff talks, hurting shares of exporters like automakers and possibly pressuring the yen. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to pay Ishiba a courtesy call on Friday evening, with Japan's top tariff negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, hosting the US delegation at the Osaka Expo on Saturday. 'Weak political leadership is clouding the outlook for Japan's market,' said Nozomi Moriya, Japan equity strategist at UBS AG. 'Global investors are looking for alternatives to the US because of political uncertainties there, so strong government direction is a priority.' JGB yields traded slightly lower Friday following a week of volatility, with the yen hovering around 148.5 to the dollar after weakening past 149 on Thursday. Shares fluctuated between gains and losses on pre-election caution. Here's how market players are expecting the vote to impact each asset class. Japanese Government Bonds A loss for the ruling coalition would stoke fears of looser fiscal discipline, likely triggering JGB selloffs, strategists say. The LDP's plan to raise government spending through cash handouts for low-income households would not require the issuance of more government debt, according to the party. In contrast, opposition groups, including the Democratic Party for the People and the Constitutional Democratic Party, are proposing cuts to the consumption tax, which is seen as a potential blow to government finances. 'If there's a stronger sense that fiscal expansion is getting out of control' after the election, 'super-long JGBs could face a serious wave of selling, like the one we saw a few years ago under Liz Truss in the UK,' said Mitsushige Akino, president of Ichiyoshi Asset Management. Yields are already climbing on these concerns, with Japan's 10-year government debt yield touching its highest since 2008 on Tuesday. The surge comes amid a worldwide rise in yields as governments from Germany to the US pledge more spending, especially on defense. Long-term JGBs are especially vulnerable to a rout due to their high level of foreign ownership, wrote Morgan Stanley MUFG strategists Hiromu Uezato and Koichi Sugisaki in a report. Foreign investors are 'sensitive to the fiscal theme,' they wrote. But some are gearing up to take advantage of a potential post-election dip in bond prices. 'We are certainly on the lookout for dislocated pricing in the JGB market,' Navin Saigal, head of Asia Pacific fundamental fixed income at BlackRock, told Bloomberg TV this week. 'If that happens, we would be very interested to take a bite of that apple.' If the LDP maintains its majority, however, hopes of 'a relatively moderate fiscal stimulus' could relieve pressure on ultra-long yields, potentially pushing the 30-year yield down to around 2.9%, Uezato and Sugisaki predict. What Bloomberg Strategists say: 'Elections this weekend add another layer of uncertainty on bonds. The risk of the LDP-led coalition losing its majority raises the odds of additional fiscal spending and the potential of a sovereign credit downgrade. A stagflationary backdrop further exacerbates debt sustainability concerns.' —Mary Nicola, Macro Strategist, Singapore. Read more on MLIV. Stocks A depleted LDP could spell trouble for equities, particularly those of carmakers, if it weakens Japan's hand in ongoing tariff talks with the US. 'Investors are worried that trade negotiations will be delayed if the election leads to a change of administration or a new prime minister,' said Maki Sawada, a strategist at Nomura Securities. Anticipation for a trade truce before Aug. 1 has helped buoy Japanese stocks in recent weeks, with the Topix trading not far off its all-time high. But post-election political instability could dent investors' risk appetite, Sawada said. Stocks of large exporters like autos are particularly sensitive to trade developments and would be hit hardest, she added. LDP losses would also cast doubt over Ishiba's plans to bolster Japan's defense spending, pressuring shares of weapons makers, which have been major drivers of Japanese equities in the past year. Any sense of 'weakened political continuity' would weigh on 'sectors that are seen as policy-sensitive (defense, infrastructure, and green tech),' said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote Group Holdings. That said, gains for opposition parties could boost domestic demand-oriented shares, like retail, as consumption tax cuts would become more likely, brightening the outlook for consumer spending, said Kazuhiro Sasaki, head of research at Phillip Securities Japan. That could help the Nikkei reach a new high, he added. The Yen Japan's currency may also fall against the dollar if the ruling bloc performs poorly, as anxiety around government spending could dent faith in Japanese assets. Some see the yen breaking the key psychological level of 150, not seen since Trump's tariff announcements in April, if the coalition loses its majority. 'The yen will sell off and the JGB yields will go up. That's the whole jigsaw puzzle,' said Ashwin Binwani, founder of Alpha Binwani Capital. But political uncertainty could also spark short-term safe haven demand for the yen, resulting in volatility, said Dilin Wu, a research strategist at Pepperstone Group Limited. 'However, over the medium to long term, rising fiscal deficits and higher bond yields put downward pressure' on the currency, she said. Political fragmentation could lower market expectations of an interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan in the near future, and that may weaken the yen too, Barclays Securities Strategist Shinichiro Kadota wrote in a note. The BOJ's stance is 'unlikely to be altered significantly,' though, due to pressure from the US for more rate hikes, 'suggesting limited scope for stronger yen depreciation pressures,' Kadota added. --With assistance from Momoka Yokoyama, Mia Glass, Naoto Hosoda, Kevin Dharmawan and Matthew Burgess.
