As the US election day approaches, investors, especially retail investors, are betting heavily on Trump's victory. Trump Media & Tech company triggered a circuit breaker five times during trading on Tuesday, with the stock price rising by a cumulative 220% this month
Trump concept stocks surged for two consecutive days! With less than a week until the US election day, is the market betting on Trump's victory?
Following a more than 21% surge on Monday, Trump's main media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), continued its sharp rise on Tuesday, triggering five temporary trading halts during the day.
By the closing bell, DJT's stock price rose from $47.36 to $51.51, up 8.76%, reaching its highest level in 5 months. The intraday price peaked at $54.68, with a trading volume of 167 million shares, pushing its total market value over $10 billion, equivalent to Musk's X platform.
As the US election day approaches, the uncertainty of the election intensifies. DJT's stock price has risen by 220% this month, marking the largest monthly gain in three years.
Analysts believe that since DJT has almost no profitability at the performance level, its stock price movement is unrelated to the company's fundamentals. The surge is due to investors betting heavily on Trump winning next week's election, especially retail investors.
The reason for DJT's sharp rise on Monday may be attributed to Trump's campaign speech at Madison Square Garden in New York last Sunday, which further boosted market sentiment.
