Trump is expected to peg his case for a second term in the White House to the success of the stock market and economy

President Donald , according to a number of recent reports.

A White House spokeswoman declined to comment on the reports that Trump wanted to expedite a China trade pact specifically to further boost the stock market. Since Trump’s stunning defeat of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.52% has gained 40.3%, the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.65% has climbed nearly 30%, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.93% has enjoyed a whopping 45% return, as of late morning Wednesday, according to FactSet data.

Since that December low, however, stocks have catapulted higher, with the Nasdaq climbing 22%, the S&P 500 advancing 18.2% and the Dow returning 18.1%, on the belief of that the Fed would pause its rate-hike campaign and that an agreement between Washington and Beijing would be achieved sooner rather than later.
