Trump Reiterates: Dow Expected to Reach 100,000 Points by End of Term

February 9 — Former U.S. President Donald Trump again repeated his expectation Wednesday that the Dow Jones Industrial Average will hit 100,000 points before the end of his term. Just 20 minutes prior, he posted on Truth Social: “U.S. stocks are at record highs, and national security is secure — all thanks to our great tariff policies. I expect the Dow to hit 100k before my term ends. Remember: Everything Trump says is right! Hope the U.S. Supreme Court is watching these developments.” Earlier reports noted the U.S. stock market staged a strong rebound Friday, with the Dow Jones Index topping 50,000 points for the first time — its biggest single-day gain since May 2024. On February 7, Trump first stated he expected the Dow to reach 100,000 points by the end of his term. Trump has publicly “pumped” stocks multiple times, with subsequent market rallies often tied directly to his policy announcements and tariff adjustments. In April 2025, markets plunged amid tariff fears until Trump posted on Truth Social: “Now’s an excellent time to buy.” Hours later, he suspended most tariffs — sending stocks soaring (the S&P 500 jumped 9.5% that day). In May 2025, during U.S.-UK trade talks, Trump told a press conference: “You better buy stocks now.” U.S. markets surged that day, while Bitcoin topped $100,000.
