US stock markets, including the NYSE and Nasdaq, closed on January 9 to observe a National Day of Mourning for former President Jimmy Carter, with the national flag flown at half-staff. Carter's state funeral was held at the Washington National Cathedral, attended by all five living former presidents, honoring his legacy of honesty and kindness amid challenges during his presidency.
Investors looking for patterns in the S&P 500's performance post-presidential elections will find mixed results. Following Joe Biden's 2020 victory, the index rose over 42%, while it fell around 6% after Jimmy Carter's win. Experts suggest that election years do not significantly differ from typical market behavior, advising investors to adhere to their plans amid uncertainty.
In 1976, Jimmy Carter criticized incumbent Gerald Ford using an economic indicator created by Arthur Okun, which combined unemployment and inflation rates. Ronald Reagan later rebranded this measure as the "misery index" to attack Carter during his campaign, ultimately winning the presidency as the index declined under his administration.
