    ‘Trump bump’ election gains wiped out
    The “Trump bump” in markets has disappeared. After tumbling on Tuesday, the S&P 500 closed at 5,778.15, below the 5,782.76 level on Election Day, Nov. 5. This means the index has lost its post-election gains. The Russell 2000 index of small caps, which jumped 5.84% on Nov. 6, is down about 8%. Meanwhile, technology stocks have slumped more than 7% since Trump took office in January.
