**New York, USA:** The re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States has sent shockwaves through global financial markets, with both US and Indian stock markets experiencing significant gains.
The US stock market surged following Trump’s victory, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing by 1,508 points (3.57%) to reach 43,729. The S&P 500 also saw a substantial rise, gaining 2.53%. The Nasdaq Composite Index also recorded a significant increase, jumping by almost 3%.
This positive market sentiment boosted the net worth of several prominent business leaders, most notably Elon Musk. The world’s richest person saw his wealth increase by a staggering $26.5 billion (approximately ₹2,232.65 crore) in just 24 hours. This surge was attributed to the significant rise in Tesla’s share price, which jumped by nearly 15% following news of Trump’s victory.
Other billionaires also saw substantial increases in their wealth. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, saw his net worth climb by $7.14 billion, reaching $228 billion. Larry Ellison added $9.88 billion to his fortune, Larry Page gained $5.53 billion, and Warren Buffett saw an increase of $7.58 billion.
The positive sentiment also extended to the Indian stock market, with both the Sensex and Nifty closing the day with strong gains. The BSE Sensex closed at 80,378.13, up 901.50 points, while the NSE Nifty closed at 24,486.35, up 273.05 points.
This surge in both US and Indian markets demonstrates the confidence investors have in the global economy under a Trump presidency. However, it is crucial to remember that market fluctuations are unpredictable, and investors should always consult financial experts before making any investment decisions.
