▼ + stars: | 2024-11-05 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

That’s why Trump, who closely follows the stock market and obsessed over it as president, should be nervous about the recent trend on Wall Street. If the market goes down, the incumbent party gets replaced,” Stovall told CNN in a phone interview Monday. Market indicator was right in 2016 and 2020Vice President Kamala Harris should feel relieved the market has seen solid gains. In 2016, the S&P 500 dipped 2.2% in the lead-up to Trump’s matchup with the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. Yet there’s another market indicator that offers a reason for hope for the Harris camp.

CNN —Shares of former President Donald Trump’s social media company roared higher on the final day before the US presidential election. Traders have used Trump’s stock as a kind of barometer for the former president’s perceived reelection chances. Similarly, when Harris began to make a comeback in online betting markets, Trump’s media stock began to implode. The Trump stock is a “meme stock,” a speculative trade that can vary wildly for just about any reason. The broader stock market Monday was also bouncing around a bit, although it was far less volatile than Trump’s media stock.

Scientists know the supernova created the filaments, but it’s unclear how or when the structures formed. The robust data that the instrument captured allowed the team to measure the motions of each filament and create a 3D map.
